Form & Verdict
0-10 in handicaps since winning a Doncaster maiden (6f, heavy) in the autumn of 2022 but has run well on several occasions, as when third of seven at Leicester (6f, soft) nine days ago; should be suited by the likely conditions and each-way claims for last year's winning stable.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have come over C&D, the latest when exploiting a plummeting mark (good to firm) a fortnight ago; his novice win here this time last year came on a soft surface, so he has to be respected from 4lb higher.

Has come a stone down the weights this year and been expensive to follow lately; this is easier than he's used to, on his Tapeta debut, as the tongue-tie comes off and blinkers go back on, and a revival wouldn't be a shock.

His last success was in December 2024 but he's on a dangerous mark and wasn't beaten far in a Class 3 over C&D (good to firm) two weeks ago; has possibilities on this big drop back in grade and three of his eight wins have come at this track; visor is removed and cheekpieces return.

Form & Verdict
3-9 on the AW since November, but his turf mark has also risen leaving him 11lb higher than when last on grass (1-15); has run well on a soft surface, but he will need to have improved generally in order to defy this mark.
