All four wins on turf but Tapeta at Newcastle didn't look entirely foreign territory in October; hasn't been in much form since, though, and another low-key run will see him eligible for an easier grade than this.

Form & Verdict
Slow to find his form since back from a break in August but his Kempton run two starts ago was better and he never looked in serious danger of having his lead taken away there (6f) 12 days ago; back up 3lb but this mark isn't beyond him; close up in only previous C&D run; respected.
