Course scorer who didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when sixth over C&D 22 days ago; it's now 30 starts since his last success, though. |

2nd 10 (4) |
18th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Showed the benefit of a first-time visor when getting off the mark in seven-runner handicap over C&D a fortnight ago; not discounted nudged up only 2lb with headgear retained. |
3/1 |

1st 5 (3) |
4th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
She hasn't been beaten far in a couple of Class 5 6 handicaps here this year, latterly when fifth of 13 last month (caught wide over this trip); cheekpieces debuted there are now replaced by a visor; still has time to do better. |

Promise in novice events on Tapeta and she didn't run badly over the extended 1m1f here four weeks ago; still has time to do better and she's a contender with cheekpieces added for the first time. |

Usually a reliable sort but he's turned in below-par efforts over 7f at Southwell and here on his last two outings; this four-time course winner needs to bounce back. |

Got off the mark over C&D last April but he's been off for seven months since running poorly in 1m Kempton handicap when pulling hard; he needs to hit the ground running after his absence. |

Three encouraging runs in a hood this winter (9.4f/1m4f) on the back of a second wind operation; headgear is now removed but he continues to edge down the weights and has claims if he can find a bit extra back on Tapeta. |

2nd 5 (5) |
7th Feb 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Her last four wins have all come at this track, most recently over this trip three weeks ago on her first run for six months; the field finished in a heap on that occasion but she was full value for the win, picking up well despite having to be switched to the outside in the straight; 1lb rise not insurmountable; solid candidate. |

18th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives in good nick, not enjoying the clearest of passages when third of seven in 7f handicap here 12 days ago; she's a player back up to 1m off a 1lb lower mark. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
6th Mar 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Her only win came at odds of 1-8 in a three-runner novice in July 2021 (5f, good); has dropped some way in the weights but she's finished down the field in all of her handicaps including when fourth of six over C&D (cheekpieces added) last month; needs to raise her game. |

Her only win came at odds of 1-8 in a three-runner novice in July 2021 (5f, good); handicapper in control last year; returns from three months off at a lower level and with cheekpieces added; worth a market check. |

Looked a filly on the up when a ready scorer at Southwell (7f) in January but she beat only one at Kempton (7f) ten days ago; this course winner is the sort to bounce back. |
11/1 |
|
9th 9 (7) |
8th Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

4yo filly who has won on Tapeta in three of her last five starts including a clearcut success at Southwell (7f) in January; up 5lb but that was a clear personal best last time and she's a big player if she can transfer her progress back to Polytrack. |

Fair 1m winner for Jane Chapple-Hyam in 2022 but subsequently changed hands for £2,000 and last of nine on his yard debut in 7f Kempton handicap 17 days ago; hood goes on for his Tapeta debut with something to prove. |
