Smarter Bets At Matchbook Tapster Stakes (Listed)

Couldn't have won a Listed race any more impressively at Ascot last time out and due to get similar conditions here. Trainer's horses thrive as they get older so could be more to come this season, particularly if he starts settling a little better. Should go well again but has to carry a penalty.

Four wins from seven starts for this yard but yet to win in Listed company despite having three attempts. Could do better again this year but others in the race have the benefit of a recent run and may be best watched this time.

Proved very well handicapped on GB debut on first start since leaving Andre Fabre and followed that up with an easy win at Epsom. Struggled last time upped in class behind Seventh Heaven but probably paid the price for doing all the donkey work out in front that day and may do better this time at a course the yard traditionally do well at. May be hard to catch from the front and jockey rides this course well.

Seemingly not the easiest to train and likely to have had his injury issues since his two-year-old season. Bounced back to form last time with a smart third behind Desert Encounter but no guarantees he'll back that up and has some work on to turn around the form with the winner.

Group 1 winner at Hoppegarten in Germany for Luca Cumani but largely struggled since. Often misses the break but did manage to run on in to third in a nice looking race at Newbury last time. Needs to build on that now.
