March's C&D novice third looks tasty now and he turned in a career-best effort when off the mark here last time (first-time cheekpieces) off 3lb lower; this is stronger but he has a fair chance of following up.

First three wins, including over C&D, all came in the autumn months and he ran fairly well back from a break on soft turf a fortnight ago; wants a proper test over this trip now but returns to Tapeta on a workable mark and is one to consider.
