Had a couple of near misses on Tapeta in the spring and his form has taken off on turf since, winning 6f handicaps at Carlisle (twice) and Doncaster; came up short under a penalty back at Carlisle three weeks ago but still ran creditably in second; hood added today; shouldn't be far away.

Progressive gelding who has won three of his last four starts, including a Class 5 over C&D (good) last Tuesday; has a penalty for that last-gasp win but he did well to overcome trouble and that made it 2-2 at Carlisle; respected.

C&D win in May been well advertised since and he duly defied a 9lb rise next time; again pulled hard when well held off this mark a few weeks ago and it's possible he's hit his ceiling unless consenting to settle better.

Couldn't quite seal the deal having led over 1f out at Wolverhampton last week (8.6f); decent claims on that, though not sure it was solely the draw which contributed to a moderate effort on Nottingham's turf before that (RPR of 45 in his division versus Glitter Code's 62 in his).

Gelded after final 2yo start and well-backed second favourite for handicap debut at Southwell (7f, AW) on return, hanging over 1f out but doing his best work at the finish in a close third; 1m looks sure to suit and another step forward is likely if he proves effective on turf.

Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when very close second at Kempton (7f, AW) in April, his second handicap; not quite in same form at Southwell later that month but looks worth a crack at 1m and has possibilities if he responds well to blinkers on this turf debut.

Progressive 4yo who landed his third win of the year, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month in gritty fashion; no disgrace in going down by a neck at Hamilton (8.5f, good) three weeks ago and remains in top form; worth following on this step up in trip.

Progressive 4yo who scored over C&D (good to soft) in June before making it five wins in his last seven starts when overcoming interference to shade a close finish at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago; he and the second were clear of the rest on Town Moor so a 4lb rise may not stop him.
