22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) returned to turf with AW reappearance under his belt, taking overall record to 3-13; upped in grade but may have more to offer in the retained headgear; shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
1st 2 (10) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Both of his wins have been on AW but he does act on turf; strong in the betting when seventh at Newcastle (7f, AW) on his reappearance 25 days ago, albeit beaten only 2l; claims with cheekpieces first time. |
6/1 |

C&D winner; reached the frame three times in AW handicaps over this trip at end of last summer and met trouble when sixth over 1m on final start; off for 149 days but he's won off a longer break before. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A ready winner at Bath (1m, firm) in April and, having run well over 1m2f in the past, he didn't have a problem with 1m1f when a close third, just behind Ayr Poet, at Ayr since on yard debut; remains on a career-high mark though so a shade more may be needed. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (11) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 20y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism at Bath (1m, firm) on final start for Stuart Williams; sold for 35,000gns since, and begins life for new connections from a 5lb higher mark; has undertaken most of his racing over 7f-1m but does stay (runner-up over 1m2f last June); claims, even if career-best is required. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Four wins at 1m and 7f for previous yard; 0-5 for current stable but he's threatening to regain the winning thread, beaten a short head at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last week when switched back to turf from AW; major contender off the same mark. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Didn't kick on from his winning debut for David O'Meara; down in the weights as a result and he has run two solid races for his new stable, second over 6f at Leicester last month before a good third over C&D four weeks ago (good to firm); untried on slower than good but handicapped to win. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 12 (11) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win came on his debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December 2024 but he ran well when runner-up at Leicester (6f, good) on his stable debut eight days ago, shaping as if he's worth another go at 7f; contender if backing that effort up. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Promise when winning on his Tapeta debut as a 2yo but struggled badly last year; often been inclined to pull hard and maybe the hood will help, but he ran poorly in it once before; now has first run for Jack Jones (runs in the same colours). |

13th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Can front-run; sole win from 16 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he did step forward from his return when fourth in first-time cheekpieces over C&D 22 days ago; headgear is retained. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from 15 starts came in a maiden at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in September but he's mostly struggled since and failed to beat a rival home at Southwell (1m, AW) last time on his first start for 112 days; now drops to 7f with cheekpieces applied on this return to turf. |
20/1 |
|
6th 7 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Got off the mark at Chelmsford (1m) in September but he's been off since turning in a poor sixth there in December; more is required despite a slipping mark. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
2-2 over C&D, with the most recent of those wins coming last May off the same mark as today; solid efforts on the AW when last seen and he's since undergone wind surgery for the second time; contender back at this track. |
9/1 |
|
5 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-20 and his last success was off a similar mark in May; didn't shine at Newcastle last time but that was a muddling race and he didn't get much luck over C&D (close third) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good strike-rate and confirmed his wellbeing when keeping on well for third at Chelmsford last week, meeting trouble and nearest at the finish; closely matched with Riot, who also had a miserable trip through that Chelmsford event, and he shaped well in one previous run on Tapeta. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Sole win from 13 starts came in a 1m novice at Windsor on soft ground in May 2024 when trained by Charlie Hills; runner-up at Lingfield (1m, AW) on stable debut in February and again at Doncaster latest (7f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie); hood is now added; quicker ground would be a concern. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (15) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Novice winner who is 0-9 in handicaps but has started favourite in both runs (1m, AW) for new yard and the way he shaped last time suggests this return to 7f is worth exploring; tongue-tie fitted; possibilities. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
13yo who has won on 12 occasions, the latest in December 2024 and his C&D win came before most of today's rivals were born; not disgraced on reappearance and he's now 13lb lower than this time last year, but his last turf win was in 2022; not the percentage call. |
40/1 |
|
7th 7 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
13yo who has won on 12 occasions, the latest in December 2024 at Wolverhampton; on a good mark but he ended last season with some below-par efforts and is likely best watched on his first start for 194 days. |
20/1 |
|
5th 1 (6) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Multiple winner down the years, including over C&D in 2024; running okay this term until form dipped the last twice; still needs to prove he can win races aged 12. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Enjoyed a busy and productive first campaign last year, winning three times at Yarmouth and posting a good second over this C&D (good) last September; respectable effort on last month's reappearance at Yarmouth and he's an each-way possible if benefiting from that latest outing. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 (9) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three-time course winner (two over C&D), the most recent coming last August off 13lb higher, and he was runner-up here over 1m in October off today's mark; below his best when last seen 182 days ago but he could bounce back on his return. |
7/1 |
|
8th 5 (12) |
21st Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Well suited by the track and his three C&D runs have yielded two wins and a close second; runner-up in 1m handicaps on his last two starts; creeping up weights but his course record means he can't be discounted. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three-time winner on the AW over 7f and he ran well despite not really settling when second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; that was just his third go on the grass and he can remain competitive. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time AW winner, most recently in February; two attempts on turf include a good effort (close third off 1lb higher) in a division of this contest 12 months ago; again has place claims. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time visor when coming from off the pace to score at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; not in same form on latest outing and not one to rely upon heavily but probably still on a good mark. |

9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden who has form figures of 0487057 in handicaps; had some traffic issues when prominent in the market at Kempton last week but this is competitive back on turf and he still has stamina to prove at this trip; others preferred. |
11/2 |
|
7th 11 (3) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Nine-race maiden who has form figures of 048705 in handicaps and he finished behind two of today's rivals over C&D two weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights but he needs to raise his game. |
9/1 |
|
5th 4 (2) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden who has shown ability on a couple of occasions; his last three efforts leave plenty to be desired though, including on his Yarmouth reappearance (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago; look elsewhere. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Consistent record on AW features two wins; far less solid on turf form (finishing positions read 790) and can be opposed in a competitive affair kept to this sphere. |
25/1 |
|
11th 5 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Doubled his tally on the AW when winning at Chelmsford (7f; first-time visor) in February and he was a close third there next time; however, below best in both starts on turf, including at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago; headgear last five starts but not today. |
14/1 |
|
9th 5 (5) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Consistent AW handicapper who ran creditably last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double (7f); can remain competitive provided the form is transferred back to turf (second attempt). |
