Crowne Plaza Race & Stay Handicap

C&D winner here off a 7lb higher mark last month beating old foe, Commander Won ¾L. Better off at the weights with his nemesis this time round.

Well held on debut here in April over 7f but has gone from strength to strength on turf since. Has the form to make a bold bid.

Winner on a couple of occasions for Dermot Weld but yet to fire for current connections. Yard have a terrific 31% strike rate here in early/mid October and sent out four winners here seven days ago.

C&D winner turned the table on arch rival Nimitz earlier this month but meets his adversary on 3lb worse terms here.

Failed to take advantage of a handy mark at Gowran Park on Monday and questions already being raised about his dedication to the game.

C&D winner and is three from eight at the track. Currently running off a career high mark and may struggle in this company.
