Form & Verdict
Won twice over C&D last year on firm ground, latterly off mark 2lb higher than today's; shaped as if running back into form when second at Leicester (1m, good to firm) last month; withdrawn twice in previous seasons due to unsuitable ground (good to soft); Oisin Murphy takes over in the saddle and connections will be hoping that rain stays away.
