C&D winner; no win anywhere since October 2024 but he's been placed this year on both his visits to Windsor (5f, good to firm); drawn wider this time but he's considered each-way.

His losing run goes back to October 2024 and he was only fifth at Lingfield (5f, good) last month, but prior to that he was second over this C&D (good to firm) and the return to Windsor could be a plus for this two-time C&D winner; he's one to consider.
