3rd 3 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Gained the second leg of August double (6f) at Chelmsford; went too freely last time; drops to 5f in another change of headgear. |

8th 5 (4) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has switched between cheekpieces and a visor on last few starts, running well each time; visor back on today; won two nurseries in a row last month (6f, good to firm/AW) and third at Haydock (7f, good) last time when fading close home; unraced on slow ground; firmly in calculations now back at 6f. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Took a while to find his feet but has taken off lately, making the breakthrough in a Catterick nursery (good to firm) in first-time blinkers last month before following up under a penalty in a similar event at Chelmsford (also 6f, AW) in a first-time visor; penalised again but he's 2lb well in, promises to stay 7f, and is respected back in cheekpieces. |

3rd 3 (2) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Scored three times (5f/7f) last term for previous yard; inconsistent over 1m this season and failed to beat a rival last time but best form gives him a fighting chance off current mark; continues to steadily rise in distance and now has a crack at 1m2f. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Scored three times last term for previous yard; below par in latest outing but ran well at Haydock (1m) earlier in May; this 3yo looks a possible danger off a favourable weight, provided he bounces back. |

2nd 3 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Has shown most of her form over 7f, including AW maiden success as a 2yo and good second at Chepstow (soft) most recently; may be effective back up in trip, provided she settles (sometimes takes a good hold). |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
A fair 7f winner as 2yo; resumed from seven months off with a good fourth of seven in 8.5f handicap at Wolverhampton 19 days ago; she's very much one to consider eased 1lb. |
9/2 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Showed her best form last year when winning a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) in August, before being turned over in three handicaps; steps up in trip and needs to hit the boards running here on first run this year. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won a Southwell handicap (1m, AW) last September and he's held his form with five creditable efforts since; ridden more prominently than previously when going down only narrowly at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) under Cieren Fallon a fortnight ago; should remain competitive after a 2lb nudge. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 7 (7) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won a Southwell handicap (1m, AW) last September and he's held his form with four creditable efforts since; still looks on a workable mark and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style. |
7/2 |
|
4th 7 (7) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Picked up a Southwell nursery (AW) in September and after a solid comeback at Newmarket in April he posted his best effort yet when second at Ascot (also 1m, good) three weeks ago; improving colt who is much respected. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner (good to soft) whose two AW wins came here, latterly over 5f off 1lb lower in March; might have needed it when beaten 6l on his return to turf at Doncaster on Thursday. |
7/4 |
|
6th 9 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Two AW wins for Scott Dixon this winter and he is just 1lb higher than for March's 5f success; finished last at Lingfield in April but that was a stiffer task than this. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ended last season with a couple of poor efforts and has picked up where he left off; soft ground was likely behind his last effort six weeks ago but he's hard to recommend even then. |
25/1 |
|
11th 10 (11) |
21st May 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Scored at Thirsk (7f, good) last June but he ended 2025 well out of sorts and there was no obvious sign of an upturn in his fortunes when down the field on AW reappearance six weeks ago. |
50/1 |

12th 11 (11) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Scored at Thirsk (7f) last June but he ended 2025 well out of sorts; he needs to take a major step forward on his first go on Tapeta. |

14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
A fair 1m juvenile maiden but he came in last of seven after three months off in 7f handicap here 23 days ago; in good hands but much more is needed. |
8/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unable to make a significant impact in three handicaps last year; dips into a 0-60 for the first time back from three months off but others are more obvious. |
6/1 |
|
9 (3) |
20th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Well beaten when upped to 1m on nursery/AW debut but kept on nicely when close sixth of eight at Haydock (7f, good) last time and is worth another go at this trip; has shown promise on good to soft; chance. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when winning on soft ground over this C&D three weeks ago (third start since being gelded); back up 3lb and likely has quicker ground to handle today. |
5/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Seven-race maiden; shaped a bit better than the bare result, while seeming outstayed over 1m, at Haydock (good to soft) most recently; could go well off a reduced mark back down in trip. |
10/1 |
|
6th 12 (2) |
22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Six-race maiden who is yet to finish better than fourth but there were hints of promise in 7f nurseries here (good/good to soft; unraced on softer) last September and the way he kept on when mid-division on his recent reappearance at Southwell (7f, AW) suggests 1m could be a good fit. |
