Form & Verdict

Stamina query on 1m5f and 1m6f form in Ireland and didn't look to be crying out for a return to further when fifth of ten over 1m4f here on debut for new yard; lesser effort at about 1m1f on Thursday and work to do.

Off the mark on the Flat at the 22nd attempt (third start for this trainer) when keeping on stoutly to beat Bear Claws by 2l over 1m6f here last week; drops back in distance under a 5lb penalty which should bring the pair even closer together.

Ended losing run when winning over about 1m3f at Limerick in June; beaten favourite over 1m4f and 1m6f for this yard but did enough on latest start from off the pace into third to think he can find a race at this level.

Safely held on latest outing but that came just five days after a good third of 13 at Bath (11.6f, good to soft), and she's a contender if that form can be transferred to Tapeta on this AW debut.

Only six races, easily her most solid form when close third of 13 over C&D (good to soft) five days ago, when Endofastorm was about 1l further back; it was a bunched finish but it's possible she can build on that display.

Form can be mixed at 1m4f but she was close up at Lingfield last month and ran well enough in sole 1m6f start, at Wetherby in April, to make her worth another go at this trip; no surprise if she's involved.
