30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner twice in February, before only just failing to catch the winner back here in hat-trick bid; work to do with Jimmy Speaking from Doncaster (fifth), with recent Thirsk effort - last of 12 - hardly a ringing endorsement. |
5/1 |

12th 8 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now. |
8/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

May remain competitive provided his recent Southwell AW form is transferred back to turf; however, his record in this sphere, which includes a seller win, is less convincing; presents a dilemma. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner, including three times this year, all off lower marks; turned in a career best on turf five weeks ago (7f, good to firm) and holds claims on that for a yard among the winners. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gained all four wins on Tapeta, the last three over 1m this year; well down the field when back on turf last month, though, and this drop back to 7f may not be ideal. |

Wins have been over 6f on turf and 7f on the AW (Newcastle); has been running well for a while and latest effort back at Newcastle was better than it looks. |

7th 10 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Record of 2-20 but his last win was over C&D last month and he was only beaten 2l behind Anthropologist here last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he has possibilities. |
9/1 |

4th 6 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Promising third when back up to 7f at Southwell last month then won over this C&D, beating Concert Boy (due to run in the 5:00) by a short head; unexposed at the trip and respected up just 2lb. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
All four wins have been between 6f-8.5f on AW; has been below his best at York on last two starts and was reported to have run flat last time; drops back to a more suitable trip but he's still 4lb higher than for his last success; may be best watched until he returns to AW. |
6/1 |

13th 11 (13) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Thoroughly exposed 5yo who was in fair form until here last time when never involved from off the pace; has never won off this high a mark but what does bode well is that his last three wins have come in amateur races under Henry Callan who is back aboard for the first time since his last win in April; the cheekpieces also return after going in a new hood last time. |

Conditions to suit and he is back to the same mark off which he beat Captain Parma here in October; not at his best at Southwell last week but he is the type to bounce back quickly. |

9st 6lb |
Won a 7f handicap at Southwell on his second run back with Dean Ivory; unable to back it up in a Class 5 a fortnight later; fully effective over C&D but others appear to hold stronger claims. |
12/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Beat only one rival home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) on his first start since returning to this yard following a 161-day break, but he stepped forward from that when winning over this C&D 15 days ago; up in grade following a 3lb rise. |
7/1 |

1st 3 (11) |
5th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back with former yard after five months off but beat just one in 1m Chelmsford handicap three weeks ago; a fair 7f winner at his best, so he can't be totally dismissed with that run under his belt. |

Course scorer but she came in a never-dangerous seventh of 12 on her yard debut in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; more is required with cheekpieces removed today. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Two wins when trained by Karl Burke (1m/1m4f); posted her best effort for Darryll Holland when fourth of seven (beaten 1l) here over 1m3f last month but she was well beaten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago; drops down markedly in trip for her stable debut. |
18/1 |

10th 5 (8) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Dual Tapeta winner (1m/1m4f), who gave it a good shot when a close fourth at Southwell (1m3f) four weeks ago; usually races prominently and has possibilities if she can find something extra with cheekpieces added. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he got off the mark at the 17th attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) this month and has since been runner-up there (9.4f); also effective here and he's an each-way player. |
10/1 |

2nd 8 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
String of defeats at short prices before finally off the mark over 8.6f here a fortnight ago off a 2lb lower mark in 0-60 company; has not always looked the easiest and has to prove his stamina going into a deeper race. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

String of defeats at short prices this spring, remains a maiden and hasn't always looked the easiest; the return to Tapeta and step back up from 7f will help, though, and he holds claims under Tom Marquand. |

9st 12lb |
All three wins have been over 7f at Southwell (Karl Burke/Iain Jardine); has dropped a long way in the weights and took second on his stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago; steps back up in trip with solid claims. |

All three wins have been over 7f at Southwell for Karl Burke then Iain Jardine; has dropped to a fair mark after some disappointing runs recently and now makes debut for new yard after changing hands for 7,000gns in April; not sure 6f on turf is ideal. |

3rd 2 (4) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last December and was third there (7f) next time; absent since heavy defeat at Southwell (7f, AW) in February but he ran well last May following a break and should be fine back on turf and back down to 6f; not ruled out. |

2nd 8 (9) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

On a good mark and suited by this C&D but out of form lately and has quite a bit to prove; non-runner 2.20 Ascot Friday. |
