Form & Verdict
C&D win last summer on his second start; similar form in defeat on his next two starts but he ended 2025 with a lesser effort and there was no revival on his reappearance at York (1m1f, good; first run since gelded; well backed) 19 days ago; dropped another 3lb and could benefit from the return to AW; still of interest.

Won at Kempton (1m, AW) on second run since being gelded and he followed up in fine style at Newbury (1m, good to firm); up 9lb since last time but this progressive 4yo could still play a leading role.

Dropped down the weights last summer and he has rediscovered his spark this time around, following third-placed efforts here and at Goodwood with a comfortable Salisbury success (all over 7f); probably stays this far but he has yet to be placed in his six 1m starts so it will be breaking new ground for him to win today.

The last run wasn't his best (four ran) but he was bang there in his four previous races, all handicaps at 7f/1m; drops into a claimer on favourable terms and must have every chance; has run well here before.

Justified favouritism at Salisbury (7f, good) on penultimate start and consistent otherwise this season; creditable third at Kempton (1m, AW) last time; still well treated on peak form, which includes a win off 4lb higher at Glorious Goodwood two years ago; solid.
