29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won on turf as a 2yo for Clive Cox; dual AW winner (1m/7f) for this yard in January but poor last time when the race reportedly came too soon; has been freshened up and might bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in January, when 12lb lower; followed up at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta); went close from this mark when fourth back there (8.5f) on his penultimate start; respectable second at Lingfield latest but if back in the form of that penultimate effort, he'd have strong claims. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two Tapeta wins in January, over 1m and 7f, and better form when a close fourth (off this mark) at Wolverhampton 11 days ago (8.6f); the second and third there have both won since and he is a solid contender back down into a Class 6. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner here early in the season, all over 1m, who's lost his form of late, the switch from blinkers to cheekpieces not helping; runs in a sprint for the first time this year. |
25/1 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Found a rich vein of form earlier in the year, with five wins between February and June (including 7f here), but has been operating below that level in recent starts. |

5th 6 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his five AW wins have been at this track and the other at Wolverhampton; only 1lb higher than for June's Wetherby win but hasn't been at best on his last two starts; better is needed back on the AW but he's capable. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
Sole success from 16 starts came when getting up late at Southwell (7f, AW) last November and he ran well when second of ten there 36 days ago; has posted some solid efforts at this track and has to be considered. |

10th 7 (11) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Both AW wins (his latest) were on Kempton Polytrack in November 2024; effective over C&D, edging down the weights and often not far away but others are preferred for win purposes. |

Progressive 4yo who has won four times on AW this year, including last two races (7f/1m), and was placed over C&D (good) in May; untested on ground slower than good but, otherwise, has solid claims. |

In good nick at present and landed his third win at Southwell (7f, AW) last month; 4lb higher but should continue to run well away from that track; claims. |

Acts on this surface but his sole win came over 1m3f at Carlisle in 2023 and mostly campaigned at that trip and further since; major query back at 1m for first time in the best part of three years. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Only win was over 1m3f at Carlisle in July 2023 (good to soft); several decent placed efforts this season, and would have a chance on that form, but rather disappointing on last two starts. |

Placed in four of his last six starts including a close call over C&D (soft) in July; on same mark here but he didn't fire at Ayr last time and that took his record to 1-21; tongue-tie worn last time is removed. |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

19th Feb 2026 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Pounced late to notch his second Yarmouth win (1m, Class 6, good to firm; from 6lb higher) last June; there hasn't been much to draw inspiration from lately, only eighth of 12 at Southwell (1m; 22-1) a month ago. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

13th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Hard to predict and has finished down the field in last three runs but he defied this mark over C&D (good to firm) in June; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he can get back near best. |

A mile now looks his trip and he found plenty for pressure to win on soft ground at Ffos Las, having been placed under similar conditions there the run before; only 4lb higher but could need some give underfoot to be at his best; the visor is working well. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Close third off today's mark at Newcastle (1m, AW; first-time visor) in July but was always behind in C&D classified (good to soft; no headgear) for new stable last month and is now 0-20; has the visor back on today but still looks risky. |

2-4 since returned to turf in April, the latter win gained at Catterick (7f, good for firm) three weeks ago; effectively 6lb higher here if Conor Whiteley's reduced claim is considered but ought to go well again. |

66-1 C&D win in January came off a 5lb higher mark; latest turf blowout may have been down to soft ground and a good test back on the AW would be fine; should do better. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Two runs on turf produced a pair of fourths, both on good to firm; if she can go on the ground then she would probably have a part to play after some fair efforts on the AW (1m2f-1m4f). |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Sole win from 12 starts came over 1m at Southwell in January; mixed results since then, but she had a near miss at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) on her penultimate run and didn't seem to quite get home over 1m4f last time; looks interesting on this drop back in trip and her win was off 4lb higher. |
