Form & Verdict
Unraced on Polytrack but best form has been on Tapeta, narrowly winning over this far at Southwell in March (3lb lower); ran moderately back from a break on her turf debut but this looks more her scene and the tongue-tie is new.

Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f; soft) in June, that his highest ever winning mark (72); 12th of 26 (beaten 7l) in a race a number of these rivals contested at Goodwood recently; prospect of rain helpful, with Callum Rodriguez booked.

In good form across his four starts this year, scoring twice (5.5f/5f) and being placed on the other two occasions, latterly when third back at Beverley (not clear run) one month ago; all those runs came on good to firm so he probably doesn't want too much of the forecast rain; otherwise hard to knock.

Second of 12 in an uncompetitive maiden at Southwell (5f, hooded first time) eight days ago but there were positives to be gleaned from that run, notably that she was running on in the final furlong (weak finisher in all starts beforehand); 6lb lower than for her latest handicap effort; might find a small race this winter but perhaps not this one.
