Form & Verdict
Has an unusually low strike-rate (2-34) for a horse of his ability; however, usually runs in better races and has clear possibilities off current mark back down in class with Victoria Cup reappearance under his belt; has lots of useful form.

Had wind surgery prior to modest effort over 6f here (folded tamely, finished last of seven) on seasonal debut; may be sharper for that run but the bare form doesn't suggest he's about to record a first win at 7f.

May be about to hit peak form, as latest effort was better than his reappearance; has slipped to a favourable mark and last start under Oisin Murphy resulted in a success (in 2021); positive view can be taken.

Has come a stone down the weights this year and been expensive to follow lately; this is easier than he's used to, on his Tapeta debut, as the tongue-tie comes off and blinkers go back on, and a revival wouldn't be a shock.

Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer.
