Record over C&D reads 2111; latest effort boosted and very much of interest back here

0-8 since his winning debut but a good third at Wolverhampton last time; could play a part

Two wins over 1m3f/1m4f at Southwell this winter; will need a good pace over this trip

Won well over C&D in December but blew out back here last month; has something to prove

Four wins here, but is off a career-high mark so more is needed; often misses the break

Twice runner-up on turf for Peter Chapple-Hyam; worth a market check on stable debut
