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. |

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. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Campaigned mostly on AW for Richard Hughes, for whom he won at Southwell last March, but he ran well when third of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) four weeks ago on his stable/seasonal debut; he's one to consider. |
8/1 |

3rd 11 (6) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Campaigned mostly on AW for Richard Hughes, winning once (6f); sold for 14,000gns since last run; something to prove back on turf but market support should be noted. |
10/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
3rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Heavily backed when making a successful handicap debut over C&D in March; hasn't added to that success in six runs since but he's run well in blinkers on his last two starts (7f) and he should be in the shake up for a stable in fine form. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 4lb |
Won two 5f AW handicaps early last year and good fourth of 16 in the 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last June, when 3lb higher; however, he's 0-11 since his last win and others arrive with more pressing claims. |

11th 4 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on Tapeta early last year; ran well from 5lb out of the weights when second of six at Wolverhampton (5f) just before Christmas but never involved at Southwell at the beginning of January; freshened up since; same yard runs Sports Coach. |
12/1 |

2nd 4 (1) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice on Tapeta at the start of the year, the second over C&D (record 33123); still 3lb above his last winning mark, but still worth a second look back here at this level. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Upped his game following a gelding operation last summer, winning over C&D in September before making giant strides on AW; returned from a break to do best of the rest behind runaway winner Double Rush over C&D 17 days ago; could have a nice prize in him this year but the 5lb turnaround with Double Rush may be insufficient. |
9/1 |

2nd 3 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Successful over C&D (off 15lb lower) seven months ago in last turf attempt and has subsequently developed into a useful AW handicapper; possibilities, provided he transfers the improvement back to this sphere. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a Kempton handicap in June (6f) off a 3lb higher mark; not matched it twice in the meantime but has been gelded since his latest run and this mark should be within range; more appealing than many. |

27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Often leads, as when wide-margin winner of 6f Lingfield novice in January; had a tough task on handicap debut but two subsequent defeats, over C&D and at Wolverhampton, suggest he has his share of weight. |

13th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well on her handicap debut at Southwell last month (6f) and another creditable effort when third in a Wolverhampton novice 16 days ago; a stiff 5f could prompt extra but it needs to. |

3rd 3 (8) |
25th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Couldn't cope with an unexposed and well-handicapped opponent at Southwell on her nursery debut ten days ago but her second still represented improvement; solid candidate back at this level. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats before finally off the mark on his seventeenth start in a Newcastle maiden a few weeks ago; hard to know the merits of that but he returns to handicap company on a workable mark and confidence will have been boosted. |
3/1 |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Largely consistent sort; placed in 6f handicaps at Southwell on last two starts, close second latest; easily the most exposed contender, being 0-16, but is one of the main players on form. |

18th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Weakly efforts at 2, but wasn't raced as if stamina or fitness were an issue on this month's Catterick handicap/seasonal debut (5f, good to soft), just fading 1f out; well drawn for another assertive ride. |
11/4 |

30th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Half-brother to 7f Polytrack winner God Bless America who started at big prices and finished well beaten in three runs last year; would want to see good support before considering him. |

20th Dec 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Some promise on her Thirsk debut in May (5f, good to firm), but ran poorly when last of four on last month's Nottingham return (5f, soft); much more needed, but likely she is capable of better and her sire has a fine record on the Tapeta here (26%). |
