Didn't fire on Tapeta three weeks ago but began this campaign with three respectable runs and is now only 3lb higher than when winning easily by nearly 5l over C&D (good) last summer; dangerous to ignore.

All his wins have been over 7f but there's been only one of those (Epsom last August) in very nearly two years now; still paying for the ease of that win in a seven-runner race, so others are preferred.

3 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
She took a good step forward when cheekpieces were added for the first time at Newcastle in January, strong at the finish in a steadily run affair; not quite so good twice since but stepping back up to 7f could help.
