Two wins and a second from three runs on Tapeta, the second coming when clear with a progressive winner over C&D last August; turned over twice as favourite on turf this spring but holds decent claims once more.

Last five races in 2025 (1m2f/1m4f) saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top at Doncaster (1m2f) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today and made a respectable return to action at Doncaster two weeks ago; return to 1m4f should be okay and he's one for the shortlist.

Last five races in 2025 saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top over C&D (good to soft) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today (from 2lb out of the handicap) and makes plenty of appeal if returning in a similar vein for this first start since September.

Won a maiden here (7f) on his second start; held in four nurseries since, but he caught the eye at Thirsk (1m, good; first-time cheekpieces) on his penultimate start and 1m2f may have stretched him at Chelmsford last time; this stiff mile may suit; stable also runs Miss Lalita.
