Form & Verdict
Quirky hold-up performer who's on a losing run of 19 and been beaten at 4-1 or shorter eight times during that spell; more than capable off this mark if things fall ideally but there will always be risks involved.

Should be making a big impact off this mark and although he has been a shade underwhelming on turf this summer he has too much ability to leave out of calculations at this level.

Always needed things to fall just so given his run style; not at his best of late and the change of scenery, having gone back to his old yard following a stint with James Owen, will need to have helped.

J: Jack Doughty

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.

Made all for his two wins during the winter, latterly over C&D off tonight's mark; continued in form since, latterly back in the cheekpieces, but will do well to dictate.

Multiple AW wins include two over this C&D, although his most recent success came on turf in April; has taken rather a drastic wrong turn since, though, and refitting cheekpieces (now discarded) made no difference back on this track last time.

Offered more on his second run back from a winter break behind Beauzon on Friday (5lb better off tonight); that made it 0-17 on the AW and there's always a chance he'll fluff the start but he does seem to like it here.

0-7 on the AW between September and April, but he has won his last five races on turf; patiently ridden as usual and led late at Brighton (5f, good to firm) six weeks ago; edging up the weights only slowly and in the mix once more.

Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer.

J: Faleh Bughenaim

T: Ian Williams

Won seven in a row over 6f on AW at start of this year but has been safely held on all four turf starts (5f-6f) since returning from a break in July; sure to be suited by this return to Tapeta but will needs to be back in prime form to overcome combination of wide draw and current AW mark.
