5th 1 (8) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Plenty in his favour down to this class for the first time at Newcastle last Thursday (started favourite) but sat on a strong pace and unsurprisingly cracked late; holds claims again in first-time tongue-tie. |
6/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all when winning his novice from the same stall over C&D as a 2yo; sharply regressive since but showed plenty of zip from a wide stall over 6f last time and this is his first foray into 0-50 company; one to consider. |
7/2 |

7th 9 (11) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two-time 5f winner on Tapeta; recent form has been well below that level from 2024 and a huge revival is needed to win this based on his last three starts. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW maiden winner; 0-14 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, reaching the frame three times this spring, including third to Herakles at Nottingham (5f, good); met trouble when a beaten favourite at Carlisle last week and can have that effort ignored. |
6/1 |

6th 8 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
AW maiden winner; 0-13 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, most recently third at Nottingham (5f, good) returned to turf; possibilities off same mark. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won a maiden at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last spring and he's run four solid races on AW this year; now returns to turf but he's still lightly raced in this sphere and has possibilities off a sliding mark. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of his winter AW form but was safely held when back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week and remains without a win since summer 2024; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
5th 8 (7) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win on AW and his rare turf handicap runs haven't seen him to best advantage, admittedly when higher in the weights than he is now; beaten favourite four times from last six runs though and others higher up the list. |
10/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Poor strike-rate and hasn't always looked the most eager under pressure; conditions no problem and on a dangerous mark so can't rule out another prominent showing. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Not without hope in two Newcastle starts at big prices but has been off for well over a year since; low-grade handicaps are probably next on the agenda for a yard also responsible for The Wind And Sun. |
66/1 |

6th 7 (1) |
1st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Belied her 66-1 odds with quite an encouraging effort (finished fourth) in 5f event here last month; ran to a modest RPR but may improve with that experience under her belt. |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Modest ten-race maiden who has been struggling (1m-1m2f) since coming back from a gelding operation and wind surgery in the spring; probably worth a go at this trip but still has a bit to prove on classified debut. |
33/1 |
|
5 (4) |
16th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Modest nine-race maiden who has struggled in his last three handicaps including when tailed off at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) 13 days ago; visor is now tried and he has lots to prove back on AW. |
25/1 |
|
9 (10) |
3rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Modest maiden (eight races) who has not shone in handicaps; pedigree suggests she is not shouting out for this step up in trip but latest performance gave a bit of encouragement for it. |

5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two solid efforts in 6f handicaps (including over C&D), given she blew the start each time, before not looking to see out 7f last time; can't be left out of calculations. |
10/1 |
|
7 (7) |
10th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
In the frame in both 6f handicaps (turf/AW) since winning AW novice over that trip in February; sometimes loses ground at the start and/or races too freely but is open to improvement over this new trip if all goes to plan. |
13/2 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
5th May 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Serial hard-puller who made a pleasing turf/handicap debut last time despite another untidy start; should have more to offer when tightening things up and a 2lb rise looks fair, so she's one to consider. |

3rd Apr 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Didn't beat many home in three runs in novice company in late 2024; could take a step forward now handicapping in a new tongue tie; ideally needs to settle better but Hector Crouch takes over for the first time. |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Promise in 5f maidens at Newcastle early in the year; no impact in two handicaps in May and now returns from three months off; stable run three in the race. |
25/1 |
|
3 (5) |
31st May 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Showed he possessed ability when twice placed in Newcastle maidens (5f, Tapeta) earlier in year; no show on turf/handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time, but one for the shortlist back on AW. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Yet to offer much at all, tried in a hood when last of seven in 5f Ayr handicap 11 days ago; it's easy to look elsewhere. |

|
7 (7) |
21st Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Big prices and modest form in two 5f handicaps this summer, most recently at Hamilton on Thursday; plenty to find in first-time hood. |
50/1 |

9 (3) |
17th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Fared a bit better when beaten under 5l at Musselburgh on handicap debut 16 days ago but she'll need to raise her game again to take this. |
