Form & Verdict
Solid 6f form at this venue under today's rider, notably a staying-on second in a nursery last November; fourth of 14 the following month after being squeezed for room two furlongs down; steps up in trip after a creditable third here last week on his first 2026 outing; could score with just a little improvement.

Led close home to score at Kempton (7f) on Wednesday and is now 3-5 for new stable since August; 6lb penalty asks a bit more of him on his Tapeta debut but he still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood.

Progressive on Lingfield AW, just failing to get up over 6f on yard debut and then putting that right over 7f on two starts since, travelling strongly before winning with a little in hand last time when 3lb lower; 0-6 on turf in Ireland but had excuses; can progress for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict
Second over C&D in January when well fancied to improve on her moderate 1m nursery form; reportedly got upset in the stalls when out of the money here in February, no apparent excuse last time; confidence dented by that run, but worth a market check.
