Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw.

Won three over 7f here of late and looked a bit unlucky not to make it four last Friday, when having Way To Dubai just behind; the drop to 6f shouldn't hurt and his claims are obvious off the same mark.

Form & Verdict
Two Tapeta wins in January, over 1m and 7f, and better form when a close fourth (off this mark) at Wolverhampton 11 days ago (8.6f); the second and third there have both won since and he is a solid contender back down into a Class 6.

C&D winner in January, when 12lb lower; followed up at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta); went close from this mark when fourth back there (8.5f) on his penultimate start; respectable second at Lingfield latest but if back in the form of that penultimate effort, he'd have strong claims.

He has run some good races in defeat on AW this winter, including here, and he continues to edge down the weights; drop to 7f needs to give him a lift though.

His last win was in September 2024 but that was off 19lb higher at Chester, and he ran well to finish third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still lightly raced on turf and has possibilities if he handles the conditions back in this sphere (best form has been on soft ground).

0-9 last year for Ed Walker; new yard this year and her half-length second of 14 here (good) last time was her closest finish, over 1m but she ran on well from rear; 1m1f, at the least, will be within range on that evidence.
