9 yo Gelding

OR: 48

Form & Verdict
His last win was 13 months ago but he's a Tapeta specialist who has run several good races this year including a near miss over C&D four runs back; should get a decent tow into this race and has possibilities if he gets the breaks.

Form & Verdict
Not the easiest to catch right but he recorded his tenth win when scoring off a reduced mark at Southwell (7f, Tapeta; 12-1) 15 days ago; now returns to sprinting but he should get a good pace to aim at and is only 2lb higher than last time; in the mix.

Well handicapped on his best form last year but last success was in June 2022 and he's been well held on Tapeta (1m) in last two runs; now returns to sprinting for the first since 2020 and he's best watched from tough draw.
