Useful strike-rate on Tapeta since cheekpieces fitted, winning four from seven, including over C&D; raised her game again when winning readily over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last week; in the thick of it despite the penalty.

Consistent AW handicapper and a seven-time winner in that sphere; only 1-9 on turf and appears to have a difficult task off current mark, especially in this grade, returned to this sphere.

Cashed in on a reduced mark at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) last month before following up under a penalty at Windsor five days later; up another 4lb but she overcame trouble for that brave success last time and still looks feasibly treated; highly respected in hat-trick bid.

Form & Verdict
Modest handicap debut on final start for William Haggas but she's turned a corner for new yard, winning over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton and then keeping on steadily when third to a subsequent winner at Newcastle (1m2f) 13 days ago; should stay this far; capable of better.

Didn't really progress in four runs for William Haggas but she made a good start for new yard when landing a Wolverhampton handicap (9.4f, Tapeta; 14-1) last month; showed a good attitude to seal the deal in that race and she's respected off 3lb higher here.

Form & Verdict
Not seen again after debut in 2023 until soundly beaten over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in December but she remedied the situation with a ready win in C&D novice next time; that race took little winning but she's out of a half-sister to Teofilo so she may do better yet on handicap debut.

Form & Verdict
C&D winner after a break in 2023 but well held on reappearance last year and it was a similar story back from time off here (favourite; Fleeting Moment and Caramay second and third) 17 days ago; not dismissed as the run should have brought her on and the regular hood is refitted.

Wouldn't judge her too harshly on last two runs (met trouble on former occasion and then faced a stiff task from out of the weights latest); this more suitable and she's not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Some promise in qualifying runs and made a satisfactory handicap debut over 1m4f here 17 days ago, always prominent but no match for an unexposed winner (Caramay 1.5l back in third); returns to 1m3f with realistic hopes of further improvement.

Shaped nicely enough in three AW runs, most recently when chasing home an odds-on shot over C&D; looks to need improvement if she's to justify her opening mark and the fitting of cheekpieces is another query.
