Unraced on Tapeta here but things have really taken off since upped to 1m on Newcastle Tapeta and he was impressive in the closing stages there on Friday; strong form claims up in trip despite penalty.

Still early days but there was no step forward on C&D handicap debut 14 days ago (33-1) and first-time cheekpieces have a big job to do.

Win last summer came over 1m2f and stamina isn't assured as he goes beyond 1m4f for the first time; this summer's Beverley efforts give him claims if he does see it out though.

Course winner at 1m2f for Richard Fahey but he hasn't entirely answered the stamina question over this far as yet, most recently when third of eight over C&D ten days ago; might be tough to reel in Walter Hartright if the latter is on song.

Form & Verdict
Signs of improvement in handicaps when on the heels of the principals over 1m at Kempton in January; was out of his depth in a Southwell novice last week (made running) but stamina still to prove back in a handicap, having been well beaten over 1m2f on debut for yard in December.

20-race maiden; recent efforts have been very underwhelming but it's worth noting he's now 6lb lower than when going close over C&D in May on latest visit to Wolverhampton.

Form & Verdict
Good pedigree, including for artificial surfaces; made promising start when fourth to useful one on Beverley debut in August and subsequent heavy defeats on turf shouldn't be taken too literally in the context of handicaps at this ordinary level; interesting.

Five AW wins elsewhere, two in the spring, but has C&D form; holding her form and this is a lower grade than at Newcastle 18 days ago but she probably needs a bit extra off her current mark.

Maiden who hasn't been far away in handicaps at 1m (Newcastle) and over C&D of late, seemingly staying the new trip 14 days ago; is likely to need extra off current mark.

Maiden; has run well at about 7f (turf) and 1m (Polytrack) for new yard of late but lacked the pace to challenge over a bare 7f at Chelmsford recently; acts on Tapeta elsewhere and return to 1m should help; first-time hood added to refitted blinkers; thereabouts.

0-16 overall but still early days for him with his shrewd new yard; over 4l ahead of the stumbling Coral Reef at Ffos Las last month, and his Lingfield third since (1m) was an equal best form effort on synthetics.

Form & Verdict
Minor form in three 7f novices, including on AW elsewhere, and although his pedigree suggests he should be capable of better now handicapping it leans towards sprint trips on the dam's side; market can guide now up in trip.
