Racing Value At bet365 Handicap (Div I)

Won at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and his close second at Ascot (7f, good) the following month was probably a career-best effort; not much went to plan on his last two outings but this return to Tapeta won't be a problem and he has possibilities if back on song in first-time blinkers.

Gained all four wins over C&D, the latest in May; back at his favourite venue after two low-key turf runs but may not have much margin for error off current mark.

Yet to win this season but is well handicapped on some of this summer's turf form and returned to AW with two perfectly respectable AW runs last month; can make his presence felt if he gets a good pace to aim at.

Progressive 3yo who led close home a Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in August and has now won four times this year; also suited by Tapeta and could plausibly still have untapped potential over 7f; commands respect.

Unplaced all six starts for new stable this summer but was not beaten far when eighth of 13 in competitive Racing League event at Southwell (7f) in August and remains on a good mark; had wind surgery last month and drops in grade today; a possible.
