C&D winner as a 3yo who bounced back to winning form at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in August; twice held since, though, including when behind two of these back here last time; needs a resurgence.

Stablemate of Laura's Breeze; two of his four wins have come over C&D; behind three of these on his return from 207 days off here last month, but stepped up from that when second of nine at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) six days later; 1lb drop since puts him back on last winning mark; interesting.
