Five-time winner on Polytrack; currently on a handy mark but never landed a blow in Racing League contest at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last week, taking Tapeta record to 0-5; opposed on first Southwell run. |

All of her wins have come at 6f/7f but she finished well when third at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last time; now goes back up in grade but she's on a dangerous mark and looks worth another try at this trip; not ruled out. |

27th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time AW winner (6f/7f), who scored at Kempton in January and at Chelmsford in March; no joy in last four runs but he's had another wind operation and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid on this return to AW. |
12/1 |

4th Aug 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has only ever placed once on turf, that coming over C&D (good to firm) a year ago, and isn't as good as on the AW but he is handicapped accordingly; didn't look to have any excuses here six weeks ago and today's slower ground may not be optimal. |

Two front-running wins on Polytrack earlier in the year and ran as well as could have been expected in better company last time; currently rated a stone lower on turf (for a good reason) but did go close over C&D last July off a 4lb lower mark. |

6th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Well beaten on both Chester runs this season but one was her reappearance and the other was a tough Listed assignment; in between she went close at Haydock and she was a two-time course winner last year (7f, soft/good to soft); could go well now back in a handicap in first-time cheekpieces. |

Disappointing on reappearance at Chester a fortnight ago, especially as she has a good record fresh and likes that track and soft ground; however, perhaps she needed the run this time around and she's run really well on all three previous visits to Haydock; not ruled out. |

Getting on but retains a lot of his old ability, is still consistent enough and has won over C&D before; rare off-day at Thirsk a fortnight ago, having beating a subsequent winner in a small field off 1lb lower previously; quite capable of bouncing back. |

Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed. |
