29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific C&D winner, most recently when making all 54 days ago; a 3lb rise won't stop him if in the same form and he may not have to work too hard to lead; major player. |

5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Got the better of the battle for the early lead when beating Beaumadier and Gogo Yubari here on January 14 and he would have strong claims if reproducing that form; he hasn't managed it in two subsequent starts but a full revival would be no surprise. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has run well fresh in the past but is knocking on and may need this after eight months off; doesn't often go beyond 5f these days and is drawn low, so has a bit to overcome. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dangerous when he can get to the front early as was the case when a close third last week at Lingfield (AW); worrying that he's been well held in three previous runs here. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often makes the running, but was held up from his wide draw when disappointing over C&D 15 days ago; back off the same mark as when dead-heating here in April and drawn well if reverting to positive tactics; stable also runs Gogo Yubari. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who came close to ending a losing AW run when a fast-closing runner-up here (5f) in March (5f); returns to this C&D for the first time since and ought to go well if the race falls his way. |
7/2 |

7th 5 (4) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

More prolific on AW than turf; arrives on the back of a solid third at Lingfield two weeks ago (6f, AW); each-way shout. |

3rd 4 (4) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Didn't fire at Chelmsford last time but was a close second off a reduced mark here (5f) two starts ago and this return to 6f won't be a problem; can make his presence felt. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |

Took advantage of a career-low mark to land his first win on turf at Lingfield (good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he has the ability to deal with it. |
6/1 |

1st 9 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
Has form on good to firm but 0-15 on grass as opposed to 5-29 on AW; short of his best on AW of late and others bring more convincing claims. |

Not the force of old and, although he retains some ability, others in this field have more pressing claims. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

Multiple 5f winner down the years, including over C&D, but his powers appear to be on the wane; a couple of respectable efforts last month but more will be needed to win. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |
15/2 |

2nd 3 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown inconsistent form, mostly on AW, this year and ran below par over C&D in most recent turf attempt; far from sure to take advantage of a reduced mark. |
20/1 |

5 (7) |
22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won off 9lb higher at Bath (5.6f) last August but he's been up and down since then and has been well held in last three starts; has plenty to prove again and he's not run over this trip since 2021. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Should be making a big impact off this sort of mark but mixed record early in the year and well held, albeit after 164 days off, at Brighton five weeks ago; others look safer. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW; solid third at Windsor three weeks ago (for Chloe Lyons) and has a chance if in the same form; finished behind a couple of today's rivals in a C&D handicap last summer. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
11th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner last summer; off the mark for 2026 when making all at Chelmsford in January (5f); two defeats since have come over 6f; better expected back at 5f. |
10/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Recorded his first AW success (four turf wins) when making all in 5f handicap at Chelmsford in January; most of his wins have come at that trip but his C&D third a fortnight ago underlines he is effective at 6f. |
12/1 |
