Form & Verdict
Got off the mark in an amateurs' race over the extended 1m1f here in October and only missed out by a nose over that C&D a fortnight later; disappointed at Kempton seven weeks ago though and although the return to this track can help, his stamina for 1m4f isn't assured.

9.5f AW win last October and runner-up in two of his four runs since, including over this trip; apprentice good value for a 5lb claim in this company but he's been well beaten in two turf runs (both on slower than good); rated 6lb lower on grass as a consequence.

In good form since sent over 2m, shaping well in a good race at Kempton before readily seeing off six rivals at Lingfield on Wednesday; close second in a strong race at Southwell on Friday and he's greatly respected on this drop back in trip now reverting to a Class 5.

All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form.

Won from off the pace at Kempton in December (1m3f) but usually races prominently; well boxed to get a good early position but she raced freely out in front back at Kempton last time and didn't get home (finished behind Eleanor Cross); not entirely sure what to expect but she's capable on her day.
