Two C&D wins and he won well at Epsom 11 weeks ago, albeit able to dominate in a steadily run affair; it won't be so easy dictating in this field and he's 6lb higher to boot.

Completed a hat-trick on AW last winter with the final leg coming over C&D off a 1lb higher mark; yet to fire in her two runs back from a summer break but this is effectively a drop in class and she might be ridden more prominently today from the inside stall.
