Two C&D wins in 2022; best effort this year when second of eight at Salisbury last week (7f, good to firm) but he was allowed to dictate steady fractions in the first part of the race; won't be allowed that luxury here.

Won this last year, one of three C&D victories, for Charlie Tucker off a 2lb higher mark in a small field; yard enjoying a better spell of late and this may have been the plan but he doesn't arrive in the same form as last year; the years might be catching up.

Won five times on AW for Dylan Cunha; slow start for Tony Carroll but last week's return to form here (5f, good to firm) wasn't entirely unexpected having been backed at big prices; still has handicapping scope despite a penalty but that race set up ideally for her and she has a bit more to prove over 6f.
