Form & Verdict
No win in Britain but has had some close calls this year, including over C&D, and he did well to get as close as he did after a slow start at Nottingham (about 1m) on Sunday; on his ninth different jockey this year and surely things will go right at some stage.

J: Clifford Lee

Acts on good to soft but soft would be a worry; tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f; 10lb higher today) last October and he's looked just as good on most starts since, without winning but late traffic woes seemingly prevented him from going close last time; without his usual jockey Billy Loughnane today but he was a close second last term under Clifford Lee; probably involved if he can get the breaks.

Tricky to settle and is held up in rear; won the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm; 9lb higher today) last October and had some very solid AW form over 1m2f-2m this year; back to near his best when eighth of 20 at Royal Ascot (2m4f) but he needs to hit a new high if he's to win this.

Not yet off the mark but he was denied on the line over C&D in February and again the victim of a late swoop by Bora Bora on his first C&D run since in April (Streak Lightning third); place chance again.

Front-runner who doesn't have the best strike-rate (3-48), but he is consistent and again ran well when fourth of 11 from the outside stall over C&D 15 days ago; may not face too much competition for the lead and could go well again.

Form & Verdict
Four Tapeta wins, one of them here, and although his losing run goes back to March 2023 he is well treated now and didn't get a clear run when third to Bora Bora and Candy Warhol over C&D in April; his turn shouldn't be far away.
