21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
2-2 over C&D, with the most recent of those wins coming last May off the same mark as today; solid efforts on the AW when last seen and he's since undergone wind surgery for the second time; contender back at this track. |
9/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-20 and his last success was off a similar mark in May; didn't shine at Newcastle last time but that was a muddling race and he didn't get much luck over C&D (close third) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good strike-rate and confirmed his wellbeing when keeping on well for third at Chelmsford last week, meeting trouble and nearest at the finish; closely matched with Riot, who also had a miserable trip through that Chelmsford event, and he shaped well in one previous run on Tapeta. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins on AW and none since August 2023; thrown in judged on his three turf runs last summer and on AW form up to March, but his more recent efforts are not convincing; not proven on softer than good. |
25/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Still 5lb above his last winning mark and all five wins have come over 1m on the AW, including two here; hard to recommend over this trip. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Sits third, one place behind Aisling Oscar, in the All Weather Horse of the Year standings after his fine winter; yet to win at Wolverhampton but he has run well here; Billy Loughnane takes over tonight; each-way shout. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
C&D winner who scored on turf at Lingfield on his penultimate run and he wasn't suited by a tactical race at Epsom (third of four) last time; only 3lb higher than for that last success and has claims if things go to plan back on AW. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 (3) |
17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
In good form prior to capitalising on the step back up in trip to win at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month; had just a short head to spare but he's only 3lb higher today and can be bang there once more. |
7/2 |

28th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Running consistently well in defeat on AW this season, finishing placed at Wolverhampton on last two starts (9.4f); there's every chance this three-time turf winner will be thereabouts. |

Three-time Polytrack winner, twice in a hood, who goes in first-time cheekpieces; has been enjoying a consistent spell, albeit at the bottom level. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Dual course winner who has finished placed in his last four runs including when third in a classified event at Southwell (1m) in January; should be fine on this drop back in trip and he's respected back from a short break. |
7/2 |

3rd 8 (1) |

8th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Mixed form since returning from long absence March but he got back in the groove when scoring over C&D (hood reapplied) two weeks ago; 3lb higher from wide draw this time but he remains well treated on old form and has claims if he can back up that last run. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back. |
10/1 |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (6) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field. |

Best form has come here including all three wins (7f/1m); just 2lb above his last winning mark, but his record in Class 5 handicaps or higher reads 5864097 so he may again find a few too strong. |

Regressive 11-race maiden who was beaten 17l when down the field at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) a week ago; returns to turf with the tongue-tie back on; better needed now dropped back in trip; due to be 3lb lower. |

19th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Regressive ten-race maiden who has been beaten 5l or more in his six handicaps this year; mark continues to fall but he needs to this step back up in trip to make a difference; cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |

9st 8lb |
Won two of her last three starts for previous yard (7f; AW and turf) once tongue tied; has come to hand for new connections on AW of late, finishing well into second of 13 at Wolverhampton (about 1m) then slowly away but getting to the front quite readily at Southwell (7f) since; now 4lb higher but should have another race in her. |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Dual 7f winner for Martin Dunne last year and ran her best race for this yard when second of 13 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) ten days ago, meeting trouble turning in yet still finishing well clear of the third; major player from the same mark (3lb well in) if enjoying a bit more luck. |

2nd 2 (2) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

3-11 for Charlie Johnston and 1lb lower than for her latest success at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta; first-time blinkers) in November; tailed off minus the headgear on stable debut back there (1m; first start since wind surgery) 12 days ago, which leaves her with enough to prove; blinkers are still missing. |
