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.

Beaten upwards of 13l in three qualifying runs over 7f/1m on turf in the first half of the year but he's from a family which has served connections well and could fare better now handicapping after a break (gelded); one to monitor closely in the betting.

13-race maiden but he's reached frame on all eight handicap starts in 2025 and latest 1m Kempton second reads well as he was over 3l clear of a next-time-out winner in third (the fifth also won next time); a 1lb nudge for that looks more than fair; can gain reward for his consistency.
