Two-time course winner, including once over this trip, who has been running well this winter, most recently fourth in 6f Class 2 handicap here; down in grade, although drawn widest.
Won at Lingfield in December on only previous try over this far, although that's an easy 7f and he just held on; most recently second in 6f Class 4 Southwell handicap; stamina a bit of a question mark but is drawn to save ground.
Last four wins gained over C&D for a different stable, the latest in August 2024; has struggled elsewhere in three starts for current trainer, but back down to Class 4 for first time since the latest win and return to this venue may help.
Last win gained in C&D Class 5 handicap almost a year ago; ran okay off an 80-day break at Wolverhampton latest (behind Follow Your Heart), although went off favourite and he's not sure to build on that seeing as both his wins came following extended rest periods.
In good form, most recently edging out Hieronymus to win similar race over C&D, his fourth success under these conditions; back up slightly in the weights; should go well again.
