Unconvincing turf record but he's hard to knock on AW (finished out of the first three once in six attempts) and he's well handicapped (won off 5lb higher in January) if return to Tapeta sparks a revival; interesting contender for a stable which has been among the winners in this year's Racing League.

Well held on turf last twice but he's yet to cut much ice on the grass and is probably better judged on his first and second on AW at Lingfield (both 1m) in the spring; this is a higher grade of handicap than he's contested previously but his stable's good record here makes him a dangerous one to discount.
