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.

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.

It took him a long time to win but he landed a maiden at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March and was back on the scoresheet at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) last month; good second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) since; solid claims.

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.

6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes.
