Won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March before a good second over this C&D, and he was back to winning ways at Chelmsford (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; this in-form 7yo brings solid credentials.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten on handicap debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) in March and something to prove after that but she raced wide and this lightly raced 4yo showed promise on her sole encounter with Tapeta, when runner-up over C&D last May on her debut; has had wind op since last run and is not written off.

Has a good low draw and she's 3lb lower than when winning at Sandown last September; however, she's failed to beat a rival on her three outings this year and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie.

Easy win in a 7f handicap last month but that race rather fell apart and the handicapper took no chances with a 6lb hike; unable to threaten back here 17 days ago; effective over C&D but others appeal more.

Back to winning ways when readily accounting for seven rivals over C&D 12 days ago; the short-priced favourite fluffed the start there and the race may not have taken much winning; a 6lb rise asks a stiffer question of her.
