Comment: Both wins came over C&D in 2023, but losing run now up to 17 despite a slipping mark; beaten only 3l into fifth of 13 at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) eight days ago and could play a part if building on that in the returning cheekpieces.

Comment: 5f turf/Tapeta winner for Craig Lidster as a 2yo and was making his stable debut after eight months off when second of seven here (7f) in June; up 2lb and off another 78 days since, but can clearly go well fresh and the return to this trip may suit.
