Won last April on his only start at this track; has had a very solid and successful campaign this season since upped to 1m4f/1m6f, including wins at York, Ascot and last week on AW at Southwell; 2lb higher than latest turf run but needs plenty of respect.

The move back up to 1m4f and then trying 1m6f both worked a treat this season, resulting in two wins and a second, all on good ground; latest win was at this track (1m6f) in July and he's run well at 2m (steadily run race) and 1m6f (bunched finish at Goodwood last week) in his two starts since, on good to firm; he's in the form of his life.

3yo who's had just three starts, staying on to be placed over 1m, 9.4f and 1m3f on the other Tapeta tracks; the move up to 1m4f will surely suit and although this handicap debut is in a warm race and demands some improvement, he needs a close look.
