Took advantage of a drop in grade when scoring at Nottingham (1m2f, good) last month and he had a tough task from out of the weights in Racing League handicap last time; back on his correct mark now and he's not ruled out back in a Class 5 event.

Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced colt who recorded his best performance on sole Tapeta attempt, gamely winning at Newcastle; may well prove capable of further progress returned to this surface; still of interest.

Tapeta winner as a 2yo; latest third of six here (1m6f; visored first time) wasn't a bad effort but it will need bettering if he's to come out on top today.

T: Charlie Johnston

Narrowly landed a Newcastle novice (1m, Tapeta) last October and second of four here (1m3f) in January, but three of his four efforts since have been moderate including at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) last time; needs to get back on track with a visor replacing blinkers.

Four AW runs much better than his three turf efforts; things didn't pan out his way on his first crack at 1m6f/first run in headgear last time and he can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Consistent maiden who ties in closely with Freds Mate on Newcastle running in October; latest effort (8.5f) suggests he's ready for a crack at middle distances; solid chance.

Struck form with two 2m3f wins at Fontwell (good to soft/soft) this winter, and may not have been suited by heavy ground when disappointing on latest outing (2m4f); could have a say if suited by this new trip.

Dual Flat winner who has come good over hurdles with wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft/soft) on last two starts; up another 6lb but that was a smooth success last time and he's open to more progress; highly respected in hat-trick bid.
