Form & Verdict
Currently 2-2 on Tapeta, 0-7 otherwise, but not without promise back from three months off over C&D a fortnight ago having reared at the start; headgear goes back on tonight (first-time blinkers rather than the usual cheekpieces) and he's considered.

Form & Verdict
Cheekpieces experiment quickly binned after a poor effort on Polytrack last Wednesday; hasn't always looked the easiest, often pulling hard, and needs a career best off this mark (4lb higher than when winning at Ascot last month).

Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade.

Acts on soft ground; better than ever this season, winning at Doncaster (good to soft) and following up at Southwell (again 7f, AW); solid second to Sterling Knight (1m, good) last time but he'll need more from the same mark.

Progressive in nurseries last backend but the handicapper's looked in charge this time round; Oisin Murphy is a positive booking (albeit he's 0-11 for the yard); dropped another 2lb but remains vulnerable to improvers.

Currently 2-3 on Tapeta but he's generally struggled since leaving Karl Burke, his only win coming when allowed his own way in a small field last summer (been dropped in lately); the first-time tongue-tie will need to make a difference.

Made all when stringing his field right out on his comeback, having undergone wind surgery in the winter; ridden less aggressively but didn't see out 7f under a penalty in a valuable novice last time; retains potential now handicapping.

Appreciated the step back up from 5f, minus the tongue-tie worn for her first two runs back, when winning a Polytrack handicap easily two weeks ago; this is tougher upped 7lb but it wouldn't surprise were she up to it.
