Fifth behind Lyrical Gangster posting a respectable effort 25 days ago; suited by this C&D; passed over given many of his rivals are in good form.

| 14 Feb 26 | Dur Durbanville | 7f | 9-5 | 7/10 | Boogiefied (6¼L) | 10/1 | 88 | - |
Creditable effort to finish sixth, beaten 2½l when behind the reopposing Lyrical Gangster three weeks ago; form has an uneven look to it and a long time since his last win; easy to oppose with a few rivals in good form.

Comes here off the back of a hat-trick; successful by a short head to claim second C&D win last month; should give it a bold bid.
