Off the mark over fences in commanding fashion recently; well treated under 7lb penalty

Didn't shine last time but has had a break since; encouraging chase debut previously

Flopped last time but fair third previously and now 6lb lower; not ruled out

5lb out of handicap but this 3-time C&D winner has each-way claims in race lacking depth

Hint of spark over C&D last November but pulled up since; back to having plenty to prove
