30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has done most of his racing over 7f, winning six times (all on AW); back in form with placed efforts on last two starts, latest at Kempton; close third at this venue in sole 1m attempt; again has an each-way shout. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Last 11 AW starts have been on Tapeta (231115111852), but he was beaten less than a length into third of 14 on his last visit here (1m); back up 1lb for his latest second of 12 at Southwell (7f)), but still 1lb below his last winning mark; respected. |
6/1 |

2nd 7 (12) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won six times on Tapeta (twice over C&D) in first half of 2025, despite his tendency to race too freely; back on a good mark now and bettered a low-key reappearance run when respectable fifth over C&D ten days ago but outside draw a negative today. |

5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Winning for the third time at Wolverhampton, and his first over further than 7f, when landing a C&D handicap in March; his stamina looked stretched by 9.4f when fourth 18 days ago; not ruled out back down in distance. |
5/2 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His third win here when holding on grimly last month (8.6f), ending a two-year losing streak; only 2lb higher but he wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up and has never raced over quite this far. |
12/1 |

1st 3 (3) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins at 7f, two on this track, but he lost out only narrowly over C&D in January (Lhebayeb third); found less over 1m at Newcastle (favourite) last month but is of more interest back at Wolverhampton. |

Modest 7f/1m handicapper on the Flat; pulled hard when tailed off on only previous run over hurdles in November 2023 (2m, good to soft); best watched for now. |

3rd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won two 0-50 classified events here (8.6f) early last year and finished third of nine over this trip in between, but it did appear to expose her stamina; others preferred. |
12/1 |

4th 5 (6) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice at Wolverhampton over 8.5f last year but she's been below her best in five starts since the latest of those wins; cheekpieces which were worn last time are now removed, and the tongue-tie returns. |
33/1 |

10th 5 (8) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner in similar events to this and has saved her better efforts for this surface; well below par since winning here last March; plenty to prove in first-time cheekpieces. |

Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives. |

Catterick nursery winner (7f, soft) for Ed Dunlop in September 2023, and runner-up on AW at Southwell (7f; 28-1, when 8lb higher) last summer; nothing positive to take from recent C&D stable debut; risky in first-time hood. |

In the frame more often than not for previous yard but she's beaten a total of three rivals in as many runs for new yard, at 6f and 7f; makes limited appeal with first-time visor replacing cheekpieces. |

12-race maiden; with Rae Guest when a beaten evens-favourite at Brighton (7f) in June; has failed to beat a rival in two AW starts (6f-7f) for this trainer, so needs to take a significant step forward for the introduction of cheekpieces. |

Finally came good in a 5f handicap at Nottingham in June; ran well back at that track in August but he has finished down the field in four runs since; good apprentice booked but others look more convincing. |

Veteran; no win since the summer of 2023 (1m, Chepstow) but still appears to retain a zest for racing; runner-up at Chepstow (7f) in September, and there were positives to be taken from his fifth-place finish at Chelmsford (7f; 40-1) in November; others appeal more. |
