Form & Verdict
Bounced back with a clearcut win at Haydock (1m, good) in June but has been well held in three of his four subsequent runs including when back at Haydock last time; only 1lb higher than for last win and return to Tapeta is no problem but he comes with risks attached.

Doesn't win all that often (2-27) and hasn't really kicked on since finishing runner-up at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May; that said, there were mitigating circumstances (hampered) at Newcastle last time, so he may get closer to Point Louise.
