Comment: All four AW wins have come over 7f on Tapeta elsewhere, but he stays further and made up for his unlucky effort at Beverley when winning under Oisin McSweeney at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) six days ago; respected despite 5lb penalty.

Comment: Both wins over 6f, the latest here in May; that performance rather stands out compared to his others in recent years and he looks opposable.

Comment: Only made her debut last month and well beaten in three starts over 7f/1m on turf; needs to improve for the drop in grade and switch to the AW.
