Wins have all come on Tapeta and does most racing now at Newcastle; decent second there last time, back up from 5f, but this is stronger and he's far from certain to repeat the effort.

All three wins on turf, latest at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) in August off 4lb lower mark; has run poorly on last two starts but her third over C&D in August would bring her right into the reckoning with Ethan Tindall taking off a useful 7lb.

Form & Verdict
At his best on AW and all three wins have been at this track; last success was over C&D in March off today's mark; has been running well on turf recently and was only beaten half a length at Redcar (5f, good) ten days ago; augurs well for this return at AW and holds claims.

Went very close on stable debut over C&D last November; made all at Carlisle (good to soft) in July and kept on well to win at Ripon (also 6f, good) on Saturday; 5lb penalty but this drop back to 5f is likely no bother; should give it a good go.
