Form & Verdict
String of consistent efforts on Tapeta since sporting headgear, culminating in last weekend's Wolverhampton win off 5lb lower; not a lot of luck round Newcastle prior to that and it would come as no surprise to see him follow up.

Plenty of short-priced defeats before finally off the mark on his seventeenth start in a Newcastle maiden a few weeks ago; hard to know the merits of that but he returns to handicap company on a workable mark and confidence will have been boosted.

6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes.
