Three good efforts on turf since C&D win on seasonal/handicap debut; likely contender

Creditable second on handicap debut in May, and probably still has potential; AW debut

Led close home at Newmarket this month; 3lb rise ought to be manageable on Tapeta debut

2-5 for stable, with both wins over C&D; can be dangerous if allowed to dominate

Consistent on turf as a 2yo; well held last month but might well have needed that outing

Soft-ground turf winner in June; still on workable mark for AW debut; could have a say
