Form & Verdict
All four wins on turf but Tapeta at Newcastle didn't look entirely foreign territory in October; hasn't been in much form since, though, and another low-key run will see him eligible for an easier grade than this.

Form & Verdict
Slow to find his form since back from a break in August but his Kempton run two starts ago was better and he never looked in serious danger of having his lead taken away there (6f) 12 days ago; back up 3lb but this mark isn't beyond him; close up in only previous C&D run; respected.

Not yet off the mark but he went close on latest two 7f runs for Michael Dods; likely to have needed the run in one previous 6f handicap but this is his AW debut for a new yard (after 7,500gns sale and a break), so there might be other days.

Won 7f maiden on Wolverhampton Tapeta in 2022 but the key remains stubbornly missing for new yard, as shown by 20lb drop since July; return to 6f is worth a try and he might yet come good in first-time blinkers (has worn cheekpieces and been hooded this summer).
