Form & Verdict
Well treated on his Newcastle Tapeta form this time last year including a win from 7lb higher; failed to justify market confidence on his return to the AW back there three weeks ago when too free, but if settling better he would have to be respected off this mark.

Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip.

Modest in four starts on turf but 2-2 on Tapeta following two narrow successes at Newcastle (6f) last month; 7lb higher than last time which will make it harder to confirm the form with third-placed Hilary's Boy, but he remains unexposed on the AW so may still have a bit more left in the locker.

Form & Verdict
In fine form over this trip on the AW in recent months, winning three of his last five starts for John Butler and finishing runner-up in the other two; makes his debut for his new yard in a better race from 7lb higher, so he will need to find more if he is to keep the sequence going.
