28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 9lb |
Veteran who does most racing over shorter now; didn't offer a lot back from a break over C&D last Monday and is some way down the pecking order. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form earlier in the year, winning three 7f handicaps; not at his best here 12 weeks ago and likely best watched back from a break. |

6th 1 (3) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 7f this year, two of them here, and he turned in another solid effort at Southwell 38 days ago (6f); no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well once again. |

3rd 4 (7) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Dual C&D winner, but has raced exclusively over 7f since December and was successful over that distance here four weeks ago; has to prove he still has the speed for this trip, but his course record makes him hard to dismiss. |

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. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Scored three times, for two yards, in the early part of 2026; not in the same form since, latterly for another new stable; revival needed. |
40/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Six of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming in first-time cheekpieces at Lingfield (1m) in March on his first start for Laura Mongan; down the field in two outings for this stable, however, and others have stronger claims; hood on and cheekpieces discarded. |

8th 4 (8) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not won on turf since his Irish days and tends to stick to the AW now; ordinary debut for his new yard recently, having been picked up for 2,000gns, and isn't obviously fancied. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Has somewhat lacked consistency since his productive spell in early 2025; no certainty to give his running but is well treated assuming this proves one of his better days. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

A four-time 7f/1m winner in 2025; in decent form in the spring but this C&D scorer needs to hit the ground running after a four-month absence. |
14/1 |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tapeta specialist who returned from a short break with an eye-catching third at Newcastle (1m) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up, but he's 0-11 on turf and has had only one run in this sphere in his last 14 starts; mixed messages. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
C&D winner and his most recent success came at Lingfield last November off a 9lb higher mark; however, he hasn't beat a rival home in each of his last two starts and needs the return to the AW to make a difference. |
50/1 |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

6lb lower than for his Lingfield success (7f, AW) last November; should be winning soon but he will need a strong pace at this trip and that isn't assured. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

On a dangerous mark and he could get away with this trip in a well-run race but he took a nasty fall at Chepstow seven weeks ago and perhaps best watched on the back of that. |

C&D winner; only 2lb higher than for his win at Bath (1m, firm) in July; below par on his last two starts but a revival could be forthcoming back into 0-55 company. |

Narrow winner from Blue Hero over C&D in July (firm) and then third from off the pace at Windsor; didn't run well back here last time on ground officially described as good; trainer said he needs it quicker, so watch the weather. |
