1st 1 (4) |
15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has been in good form, threatening off slightly higher marks this summer before winning at Wolverhampton (7.2f, Tapeta) on Tuesday in second-time cheekpieces; that was an apprentice contest, so he carries no penalty today; shortlisted. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed in both C&D runs in July and he has held his form since; likely to run his race but his losing run is up to 19 and he may have to make do with more minor money. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time Tapeta winner who's been expensive to follow in recent times; ridden more prominently than usual when below par last time but there have been too many near-misses for comfort. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up twice in May (C&D on good to firm first occasion); caught too far back when fourth over 1m here last time; likely still in good form but needs things to drop right the way he's ridden. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often slowly away but has plenty of Southwell form, including four wins off higher marks; posted a resurgent effort (third of 13) over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he takes to new headgear. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Now 10lb below his last winning mark, which came over C&D (Class 5) in January; probably a bit better than the bare facts (slowly away and met trouble) when seventh of 12 over C&D one week ago. |
16/1 |
|
7th 14 (6) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regular here but only ninth in his last visit and wasn't in much form prior to that; needs a revival. |

1st 6 (5) |
15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Had dropped 7lb below his sole winning mark when beaten half a length (clear of the third) in a steadily run race over C&D nine days ago; could probably do with a stronger gallop but still respected, including as he is due a 2lb rise for that. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (11) |
15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) off 6lb higher in April and surged back to some form at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) two starts ago; not beaten far in amateurs' race latest and dropped another 2lb since; worth a second look. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (9) |
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. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark in 1m Windsor handicap last May but he's had only three runs since and has struggled in all of them; now back on his winning mark but he flopped when favourite at Leicester in April and needs a major revival after a break. |
14/1 |
