Thrown in on peak 2021 form over this trip; can mark up fourth in messy C&D race latest

1m2f win off 5lb lower last month; race not run as much to suit latest; still of interest

Nearly held on at Brighton latest (1m2f); shortlisted off the same mark; blinkers go on

C&D win last month (second has obliged since); may not get the run of things as much here

0-14 on turf; nearly held on in a Polytrack classified latest, but needs to back that up

Sharp 1m2f is just the ticket, but needs sufficient rain to turn ground slower than good
