Recent C&D winner and profile would suggest he can keep progressing for a while yet

Encouraging return from a layoff when fourth to Famous Bridge here; 5lb claim handy

Not a bad run in Newbury's big staying chase but his peak form has been over shorter
4	Credo b Sam Twiston-Davies · Anthony Honeyball	Sam Twiston-Davies · Anthony Honeyball	161	—	134-12	133	142	104	28d	—	—	+11	24.8	5/1 17%
Pushed Famous Bridge close over C&D last month and they look closely matched

Last-time-out winner who took this in 2021; consistency is not his forte

0-3 as a chaser; even if pulling his socks up he'll do well to beat the best of these
2	Cooper's Cross b Sam Coltherd · Stuart Coltherd	Sam Coltherd · Stuart Coltherd	164	p	16F2-8	136	143	130	42d	—	—	+19	22.5	25/1 4%
