Form & Verdict
Two C&D wins last year; running okay on AW over the winter but he dropped in the weights and returned to form with a Nottingham success 18 days ago (5f, good; front pair clear); with the short-priced favourite refusing to race, that may not have been the strongest form but a 3lb rise is manageable; Sean Levey, who rode both Robert Cowell's last-time-out winners, is on Tourist this time.

Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark.
