T: Bryan Smart

Two C&D wins on soft and good ground; below best in the autumn and has needed both runs in 2026 but he's run two of his best races for Paul Mulrennan (1-3 on him) who is back up today; on a handy mark and a revival could be imminent.

Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily.

More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off.

Off the mark at the eighth attempt when getting up late in a 5f handicap (good to firm) at Windsor three weeks ago; a 5lb rise wouldn't look obviously generous though and he could probably do with the ground drying out; is at least unexposed at 5f.
