1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Off the boil since finishing second off a 4lb higher mark over C&D in February but he's been running in sprints latterly; this is easier than he's used to and he ought to fare much better back from a short break. |

Completed a 1m hat-trick last June; form has dipped over 7f/6f/5f in last three outings and he has enough to prove in another sprint race; tongue-tie added. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three C&D wins, the latest in a classified event this month in a refitted hood; failed to get to grips with the leaders here six days later but she's had a longer break this time; can be very competitive if race pans out. |
8/1 |

6th 1 (2) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Not the easiest to catch right but had hood refitted when gaining a third C&D win in classified event six days ago; she needs to back it up with the headgear retained. |

1st 5 (11) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run up to 14, but she won two handicaps over C&D in the spring of last year and ran well to finish third of ten in a similar race to this over the same trip in January; not the best of draws, but respected on her best form. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Consistent maiden who's 3lb lower than when beaten a neck over C&D in February; continued in form since, the last twice for an inexperienced 7lb claimer, and is one to consider. |

0-16 (includes turf) but has gone close a couple of times on AW; wore this headgear combination when fourth at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) under Hope Regan three weeks ago. |

1st 2 (1) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
In-form filly who has been placed twice (1m2f/1m) since last month's comfortable win at Bath (1m, firm); lost out only by a short head when back at Bath a week ago and is 1lb ahead of the handicapper for this first attempt at 1m4f; has big role to play if stamina holds out. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just two wins from 30 starts but her last success was by 4l over C&D (firm) last month and she backed that up with a close third at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm); on same mark as last time and she should be in the thick of things again. |
6/1 |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Ended a losing run in emphatic style at Bath (1m) ten days ago; hiked up 9lb but not taken lightly on her first go over 1m2f. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Pulled hard and didn't see it out on his hurdling debut last month; two wins for Roger Teal came in the spring but it's hard to find many other positives on this Tapeta debut in a first-time tongue-tie. |
25/1 |

6th 3 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fair performer at his best in 23-race Flat career (most for Roger Teal; two runs for this yard) which includes two 1m wins; hooded on latest outing and today; probably best watched on hurdles debut. |
20/1 |

5th 7 (10) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Never landed a blow at Lingfield (1m2f) on stable/seasonal debut but may fare better with that outing under his belt; has gained both turf wins over 1m and produced his best AW effort over C&D; hood applied. |

1-17 with his best form (including his sole win) coming over shorter trips; down the pecking order. |

7th 6 (4) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Course winner but over 5f; nothing to suggest he wants this far though and easy enough to look elsewhere. |

9th 4 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Former sprinter who finished well behind Desiderata back from a break last Monday; never gone beyond an extended 1m, so stamina is an obvious concern. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has completely failed to back up debut effort and cheekpieces made no difference the last twice; chance depends on whether the switch to blinkers has a better effect. |

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

Went close on debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) last September but unable to reproduce that form on his five runs since; soundly beaten at Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) most recently with these cheekpieces applied. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Has modest strike-rate in recent years and ought to have coped better with the heavy ground when safely held on last two starts at Ffos Las (1m2f/1m); needs to up his game. |
14/1 |
|
1 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole handicap win over 1m on good ground but he has form on soft and heavy; signs of a revival two starts ago but he failed by a long chalk to confirm it on this track since; still capable of going well off his reduced mark if refitting cheekpieces helps. |
8/1 |
|
4 (6) |
9th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Has dropped to a handy mark, but he didn't get going until it was too late when fourth of eight over C&D (good to soft) 12 days ago; capable of playing a part if things drop right; stable also runs Zambezi Magic. |
