27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick over 1m on turf/Polytrack in June last year, but those are his only victories in 34 starts; 9lb lower than for the latest, but others still look more compelling; eyeshield removed. |

7th 8 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All three wins have been over 1m; went close here over 8.5f in February and kept on into fourth (behind Cooramook) after missing the break over C&D last time; will need things to drop right given his hold-up style. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Three-time course winner over 8.6f; she hasn't run badly on her last two visits to Wolverhampton but a lower draw would have been preferable. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (2) |
29th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Back on the same mark as C&D win in March; not fared as well since, but has been off for two months after a below-par run on turf in July; needs to bounce back. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
28th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins in an industrious 2025 and another this March; three of those were AW, as was the respectable show in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, while last June's 1m classified win at Chepstow was on soft; others look more solid these days on today's likely good or good to firm ground. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has done most of his AW racing on Wolverhampton Tapeta but he's run his two best races on Kempton Polytrack (7f), going close in February and breaking his duck last month; back up 4lb; a likely contender on course debut. |
7/2 |

1st 10 (3) |
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. |
5/1 |
|
6th 15 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

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. |

27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Won three times in the spring and good third of 15 at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) in July; she's dropped below her last winning mark but hasn't shone on her last three starts and needs to get back on track. |
16/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Successful three times this term and looked better than the bare result (met late traffic issues) in C&D event most recently; only 1lb above last winning mark; could go well. |
10/1 |

9th 2 (2) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three wins (1m-1m4f) in the first half of 2026; last month's Ascot third was up there with her best form but she wasn't quite at the same level back down in class at Chepstow three weeks ago; drops back in trip with each-way claims. |

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. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended losing run in classified race here (7.3f, good) in June and was close second in Bath handicap (1m, good) nine days ago but this season's record is very mixed and he'd appeal more on better ground. |
11/2 |

2nd 5 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended losing run in Ffos Las classified (7.3f, good) in June but safely held in two subsequent handicaps; may remain vulnerable at this level. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a long losing run in a classified event at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) in June but he was a remote third there (1m) last time; that was a tough task behind a handicap blot but he's not easy to predict and his two runs on slow ground have been underwhelming. |

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 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
