Three C&D wins in 2025 and there have been some creditable runs in defeat this year; often a hostage to fortune though and he will need the gaps to open up from stall 1.

Back in form at York last time, despite being rather drawn away from the action in a race in which the leaders didn't stop; a while since he went beyond 5f but this may well be run to suit if he gets some luck once dropped in (as seems likely) from stall 9.

Ready win at Lingfield (1m) last month and that has been followed by two more solid efforts over that C&D; drops to 5f for the first time on his 44th racecourse start and it isn't sure to suit.
