Narrow C&D win 23 days ago (3rd won since); 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another good run

Below par last time but unexposed at the trip and C&D win in August was decisive

Didn't build on promising debut in 4 more runs in Ireland; market instructive for new yard

Ground a valid excuse last time; needs good pace at this trip but still feasibly weighted

Down the field on stable debut (1m2f, AW) last month; early days but others look safer
