Turf wins as a 2yo came on soft/heavy ground and the midweek rain will have helped, although he'd have preferred more; highly consistent but a 2lb rise for his recent AW win puts him on a career-high mark into a more competitive handicap, down from 6f.

All three wins have been on Tapeta including two in a row at Wolverhampton (5f) in February; no impact in last two starts but she had some traffic issues at Wolverhampton last time and this step back up in trip is no problem; not ruled out.

Ran well in the face of a stiff task in a Carlisle Listed event last summer; confirmed she hadn't been flattered there when finishing a fine third over C&D last September; two lesser efforts to round off 2025 but the form of that C&D run, where she travelled so powerfully, offers serious hope this mark is in range; has run well after a break in the past and her trainer is having a fine year; contender.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when landing a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) in September but that was a golden opportunity and he struggled back in a handicap in his final run last season; drops back in grade on his return but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing.

Handles soft ground; some fair form without winning over 6f and he was beaten by a promising one at Ffos Las (good; third won AW maiden since) before never involved from a high draw in a Racing League race on Wolverhampton AW in August (first-time cheekpieces, retained); solid form chance.
