Form & Verdict
String of consistent efforts on Tapeta since sporting headgear, culminating in last weekend's Wolverhampton win off 5lb lower; not a lot of luck round Newcastle prior to that and it would come as no surprise to see him follow up.

J: P J McDonald

Dual 6f AW scorer in the spring and resumed from five months off with an improved second of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap 16 days ago; won on soft ground as a juvenile so he's a big player nudged up 2lb back on turf.

In excellent form in April, winning at Wolverhampton (blinkered) and over C&D (visor); could still have more improvement to come but subsequent 145-day break may have checked his momentum.

Plenty of short-priced defeats before finally off the mark on his seventeenth start in a Newcastle maiden a few weeks ago; hard to know the merits of that but he returns to handicap company on a workable mark and confidence will have been boosted.

He's raced mainly on AW and good or quicker turf but the return to soft ground suited when value for more than a 1l winning margin at Ripon (6f) recently considering he didn't get the best of runs; interesting back up 3lb.

Won six times, three over C&D, in the first half of 2025 and he is well treated on even this year's best; wind surgery in April hasn't sparked a revival this summer but he drops in class this time and he has too much ability to rule out.

Beaten on his last 12 starts and only sixth at Wolverhampton last month, but he was returning from a break and was slowly away; could be sharper for that latest outing and he ran well in third over C&D in April; this three-time C&D winner is capable of having a big say.
