2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner last year; won again at Southwell in February (6f) but rather out of sorts since; back on his last winning mark. |

7th 5 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Game effort to win over C&D in February off 1lb lower; only run since came at Thirsk 12 days ago when easy to back and dropping right away in the race won by Eldeyaar; racecourse evidence suggests he will be much happier now back on AW. |

Had the headgear left off when back to winning ways in 6f Southwell handicap 53 days ago; he's yet to show much in a handful of turf runs though, so needs to back it up. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-30); beaten a neck over 6f at Southwell (Class 6) in February but less productive in three subsequent appearances (6f-7f), although with mitigating circumstances (saddle slipped) latest. |
11/2 |
|
5th 5 (10) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Winless since August 2024 but he comes here in decent nick, fifth of nine in 7f Lingfield handicap 17 days ago; place prospects off an easing mark. |
8/1 |
|
5th 1 (9) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective at 6f and 7f but his sole win was in a Carlisle novice in August 2024; went close off this mark at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month but was never involved when a remote fourth there last time; that was behind a handicap blot but he needs to step up again after that. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Unable to land a telling blow when favourite here (6f) this month but was close third off much-reduced mark here two starts ago and ought to be suited by today's return to 7f; tongue-tie removed after one use; it might pay to give him another chance. |
9/1 |
|
7th 2 (5) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Lost his way last year after a spring win for Eve Johnson Houghton off 13lb higher; well supported ahead of his C&D comeback in February, when faring much better off this mark, and is one to consider in a first-time tongue-tie for a yard going well of late. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 (9) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Quite impressive when winning over 6f at Wolverhampton last spring; mixed efforts since but he's been running over an inadequate 5f for this yard, dropping 15lb in the process; might do much better back at 6f. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual 6f AW winner; returned from break with low-key turf run over that trip last month and has never run over 5f before; swaps visor (worn for last six races) for refitted cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |
10/1 |

10th 11 (14) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Two AW wins over this trip but he wasn't at his best when last seen in March; his three turf starts are all excusable to some degree and he could prove as effective on grass in time. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
In fine form on the AW this winter, landing back-to-back 6f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Southwell recently; very lightly raced on turf but still merits serious consideration in his hat-trick bid. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a sixth victory on Tapeta when going in at Wolverhampton off 3lb lower three weeks ago; never won off a mark quite this high but gives his trainer, who also run He's An Angel, a decent hand. |

All five wins have been on Tapeta and last three have come over C&D; finished a remote third at Southwell 12 days ago but that was behind a handicap blot and he was in good form before that run; shortlisted. |

Turf and AW winner over 6f in Britain; no impact in three starts for this yard, including here on latest when well held over 5f; on a dangerous mark if rediscovers best. |

1-34 on the AW, that win coming over 6f at Southwell in April 2021; rather out of sorts over 6f-1m this year and now tries 5f for the first time since May 2024. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Infrequent winner who's having a first ever run at beyond sprint trips at the age of seven; has been in good form on turf and has often run well in defeat round here but stamina is an obvious concern. |

3rd 11 (5) |

2nd 9 (6) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Five wins include one on AW, over C&D in late 2024; beaten under a length three times on turf in 2025 and he wasn't far away in a recent C&D classified event after a short break; weights chance back in a handicap. |

18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Close second at Redcar last time; 0-15 this year and ran poorly in last four AW attempts but defied a 10lb higher mark at Southwell a year ago; very attractively handicapped and enters calculations. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |

Yet to add to her 2yo win but was runner-up twice in this grade in June, latterly over C&D (good to firm); didn't enjoy the run of the race when dropped back to 5.7f at Bath on Friday; might be the answer. |
