Runner-up in two slow-ground nurseries last autumn and well treated on that form, but disappointing this year; falling in the weights without looking like taking advantage.

Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement.

T: Tim Easterby

Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again.

Form & Verdict
The only winner in the field, at Newcastle (7f, AW) in June; however, in three starts since he has failed to repeat the form and he was soundly beaten over the same C&D last Friday; needs to be revived by cheekpieces.

C&D winner last summer (good to firm) and he added to his haul with a ready win at Southwell (1m, AW) in December; chased home Timely Affair back at Southwell three weeks ago (1m) but while he is 4lb better off today, he wouldn't be sure to reverse the placings (raced awkwardly under pressure).

Two wins in first season as a 3yo included a beating of the two clear market leaders plus Spirit Of Bowland over C&D in December; modest return to action under same conditions last month but could leave that behind today; Jason Hart, who gets aboard him for the first time, is 1-1 for the trainer.
