Had plenty of chances in the summer before winning a firm-ground Bath handicap early in the month off 4lb lower; ran poorly from the front in better company last time and will need a career best off this mark on her Tapeta debut.

Lightly raced but was turned over at a short price on his handicap debut and went backwards from that on his first try at this trip latest; the return to Tapeta could help but he has it to prove now.

Big-race wins in the 1m4f November Handicap last year and the 2m Northumberland Plate this June, both on the Newcastle AW; made a creditable attempt to break his turf duck in the Ebor at York two weeks ago but none of his form, AW or turf, suggests he's a match for the best of these rivals.

Big-race wins in the 1m4f November Handicap last year and the 2m Northumberland Plate eight weeks ago, both on the Newcastle AW; travelled so smoothly through the latter race and asserted well, but he's 8lb higher today and although he's had some minor honours on turf, he now bids for his first turf win at the tenth attempt.

Landed the rescheduled November Handicap over 1m4f here (off 4lb lower) in 2023 and ran well to make the frame over 1m4f/2m in three of his five AW starts this year; player on that but he has a modest strike-rate.

Not much wrong with his last three starts but he wouldn't be bred for middle-distances and this longest trip to date will test stamina on his Tapeta debut; needs to find more.

Not sure what happened last time at Fakenham but the run before he all but held on in a Class 3 handicap at Kempton (soft; fine on good) and the winner was runner-up in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; that form brings him right into the equation.

Has won four middle-distance handicaps and latest was off 9lb higher at Chester (1m4f, good) last June; 0-13 since but he bounced back with a close call over 1m2f here last Friday and is a big player if he can repeat that form (due to be 2lb higher in future).

From a good family and has been unfortunate to bump into a couple of useful winners in two runs back this summer; looks on a workable mark now handicapping in first-time headgear and remains open to improvement.
