C&D win as a 2yo; first success since when dead-heating in a 1m handicap here 23 days ago (subsequently awarded first place outright); a 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run.

Justified favouritism, by half a length, in C&D contest last week for a first win since 2024; incurs 5lb penalty but Donagh Murphy claims that amount; remains well treated on historical data anyway; respected, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces.

His last win was 13 months ago but he's run two promising races for James Owen this spring and was beaten less than 2l when sixth at Leicester (1m, good to firm; 9-2) last time; remains well handicapped on his old form and he shouldn't be far away.
