14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Secured his fifth win when scoring at this track (7f) last October off this mark; hasn't hit the same heights since and best watched until showing more positive signs. |
9/1 |
|
7th 13 (9) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five of his wins have been on the AW, the most recent at this track over 7f last October; wasn't at his best at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) in July and a wide trip can be given as an excuse for a below-par effort here over 7f last month; each-way claims. |
20/1 |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
5-21 on AW compared to 0-11 on grass; struggled off his lower turf mark at Epsom four weeks ago but he had reappeared with a creditable effort here previously and his last success was over C&D; could be dangerous if he gets a good pace and some luck. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His win in July took C&D record to 3-4 (good to soft and good to firm); had a very awkward start here since and was soon tailed off (stablemate Cherry Cobbler was second) but, given his fine strike-rate here, he can't easily be left out. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
All four turf wins have been gained on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in his first two runs this season but he returned to form when beating Jumby over C&D (good to firm) 13 days ago; only 2lb higher here and has leading claims if he can back that up. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (5) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins on turf have been achieved on this course (7f/1m); beaten around 9l in two comeback outings in recent months but eased 3lb and capable of bouncing back to form to a form with a bang. |

Successful twice this summer and ran creditably when favourite last time; still on career-high mark but is a consistent sort who again holds a solid chance. |

3rd 6 (3) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
This is a classier race than he's accustomed to but he's been in fine form since returning from a break and it was comfortable over C&D a month ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but couldn't put it past him. |

16th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Can front-run; now 1lb lower than for last August's Chepstow success (7f, good to soft) but he's been below his best in four starts this year, including at Kempton 12 days ago; drops back to 6f for the first time since his 2yo days. |
13/2 |

8th 11 (9) |
4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Front-runner; 5lb lower than for his near miss at Lingfield (7f) in December; not at best in two runs back from a break but the type to come good again soon; perhaps that will be in a race that will feature fewer pace influences than this one. |
14/1 |
|
6th 7 (1) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

0-9 on the AW but he has gone close on two occasions, including when beaten a head at Lingfield (7f) in December; below his best on his next two outings and was last of seven at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last month; needs to take a step forward. |

5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Recent efforts have not been his best but he's a dual C&D winner who has never been this low in the weights; a revival would come as no surprise. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage. |
9/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |

Not won on turf since his 2yo days but it was a fairly close third at Musselburgh (7f, good) in April; now 4lb lower after four lesser runs; handicapping case can be made but percentage call is to oppose. |

10st 2lb |
Runner-up three times in a row on AW this April-June, but below-par sixth at Kempton (1m, AW) three weeks ago and he failed to shine when tackling turf last year; has his first outing on grass of 2026. |

17th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Fairly useful on his day but is on a long losing sequence and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; a regular at Newcastle and rarely seen at Wolverhampton. |

Outsider of six for her comeback from almost six months off at Kempton three weeks ago, when shaping nicely; her best efforts have come over 1m, often under aggressive rides, and she'll likely have plenty of use made of her on her Tapeta debut. |
