Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred.

Doesn't boast a great record round here, has become very hard to win with and the years have looked to be catching up this season; well below market expectations over C&D last time but this is easier again for a yard also responsible for Washington Heir.

Handy sort who has won seven times over C&D, the latest in January; likely to try his best, but he finished over 3l behind Coolagh Magic here last time and a 5lb pull may not be enough for him to reverse the placings.
