Twice well held at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) since winning from 1lb lower over C&D (well behind Metallo on the first occasion); needs to bounce back in the first-time cheekpieces. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fairly useful four-time AW Flat winner for Charlie Johnston but 0-17 on turf for that yard; ran poorly at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago and changed hands for 1,000gns since; best watched on hurdles debut. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won at Wolverhampton around this time last year and at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack; made all) in October; left Rae Guest (same owner) after finishing a respectable fourth of nine over the latter C&D in December; heed the market signals on this stable debut after 286 days away. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken quite well to hurdling, winning then third over 2m1f at Cartmel in the summer; carries a penalty but should be thereabouts. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fairly useful on Flat (2m winner) for Jane Chapple-Hyam and has taken well to hurdling, just shaken up to beat six rivals over C&D (soft) last month; open to improvement and should go well under a penalty. |
5/2 |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Signed off on the Flat for Jane Chapple-Hyam with 2m AW win in January (RPR 80) and was very much in contention before final-flight unseat over C&D (good to soft) on stable/hurdle debut in May; Richie McLernon presumably had the pick of the two stable runners in this race; shortlisted. |

Finally got off the mark at Lingfield (1m2f, good) and has continued in good form in the main since, narrowly winning over this C&D (good to firm) last time; just 1lb higher today and he's high on the list. |

Best of those to race on the pace at Newcastle two weeks ago; excuses for his only below-par effort this year (C&D) and goes on the shortlist under Rossa Ryan. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
C&D winner (good to soft) just over four years ago; on a losing run since going back-to-back at Nottingham and Newmarket (both heavy at around 1m) in the autumn of 2023 and recent efforts are not enough to tempt despite this falling mark. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 4 |

Pretty consistent since his Newbury win in July and perhaps found the ground too soft last time; AW winner who should run well. |

Opened his handicap account in Newbury contest (1m2f, good to firm; beat a subsequent scorer) and not disgraced in two runs since, latest on ground possibly softer than ideal; this low-mileage 4yo may do better still. |
