Seemed suited by the drop back to 6f when making all to win at Carlisle last time (good to soft; first turf win, second only fifth next time); up 2lb; a possible.

Two AW wins at 7f and she ran respectably over that trip in turf handicaps late last summer but was too far below her best in November and on her reappearance last month to make much appeal today.

Two 7f wins on Tapeta last year including a dominant display in a C&D handicap in November; flopped here in her final run in 2025 but she's had a break since and it wouldn't be a surprise if she found more progress as a 4yo; needs a close look on her return.

Form & Verdict
Largely consistent gelding who rebounded quickly from a poor run with close second in first-time visor at Wolverhampton (7f) ten days ago; back in action before a 3lb rise takes effect and won his only previous race at Newcastle (albeit over 1m); obvious contender.

Best form was the two runs in Ireland late last year; 0-5 for current yard and only fifth of seven in a 1m handicap before running poorly last week in a 7f novice (tried cheekpieces); effective at 6f but others are safer.

Not seen to best effect on soft ground last time and now 0-10 but her close third at Thirsk (7f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and this return to Tapeta won't be a problem; contender if first-time blinkers have any positive effect.

Back to his best since joining his current yard but he's shot up the weights and there have been some costly defeats to go with two AW wins; now 0-17 on turf, having pulled hard in a messy Bath affair last time, and will need a career-best effort to take this.

Scored over 6f here on seasonal debut in April but has not been in the same form again since; strong in the betting on last four appearances (favourite three times) but was particularly disappointing when last of nine over C&D a week ago and has a lot more to prove than some of these.

There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60.
