3rd 10 (10) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Made the breakthrough in a Southwell handicap (6f, Tapeta) in April but he's been well held in three subsequent runs including over C&D; overall record is now 1-8 and he needs to get back on track. |
12/1 |

8th 5 (8) |
19th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Couldn't reward market support on his handicap debut at Lingfield (7f) in March but he got the job done dropped to 6f at Southwell (Tapeta) one month later; only midfield at Wolverhampton last month but things didn't go to plan that day and he remains unexposed at this trip. |

Showed improved form when getting off the mark at Southwell (6f, AW) in April; never figured when fifth of nine at Leicester (6f, good) last month; not one to give up on. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on turf but Tapeta is his surface so far and was much too strong for his rivals at Southwell (6f; first-time cheekpieces) two starts ago; no impact at Catterick (7f) since and has a shade to prove off new mark, 7lb higher than for the win. |
7/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Impressive when off the mark at Southwell eight days ago in first-time cheekpieces; fairly treated under a penalty and too soon to say he's not as good on turf but 6f on Tapeta evidently suits well, and he'll need to settle on his first crack at 7f from stall 11. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
11-race maiden but she went close at Southwell (AW) in March and finished on the heels of the principals when fourth of five in a blanket finish at Chepstow (also 5f, good to soft) last Thursday; more exposed than some of these but she stays 6f and can't be ruled out, albeit yard may have better prospects with Grey Horizon. |
11/2 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Tends to lead; 0-10 and consistency has been an issue but she went close on AW at Southwell (5f) in March and gave it another good go when third back there (6f) three weeks ago; makes first start on turf since her 2yo debut. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
String of defeats at short prices for Ollie Sangster, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns in July, this year; done most racing over a bit further and hasn't looked a 5f natural in a couple of tries; the tongue-tie comes off. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 5 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
String of costly defeats on the AW early in the year and remains a maiden; has the ability but hung left back on turf last month before not seeing it out on soft ground last time; risks involved running over 5f for just the second time. |
6/1 |
|
9th 2 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made it 0-9 and he wasn't at his best (hung badly left) on a rare turf start at Windsor (6f, good; fifth) three weeks ago; needs to prove he can get the job done but he's on a handy mark on his consistent AW form earlier this year; not written off. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Exposed maiden who's lost her way, latterly when some way behind Lanarra in a C&D 0-50 event a fortnight ago; goes in first-time blinkers (worn cheekpieces a couple of times) for a yard that looks to hold stronger claims with Singarda. |
33/1 |
|
6th 9 (5) |
26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Nine-race maiden; respectable effort in a handicap over this C&D in May (first-time cheekpieces) but she's struggled in two starts since, including in a first-time tongue-tie (now discarded) last month; others have stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
8th 8 (10) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-race maiden; respectable fourth in Catterick handicap (good) when upped to 7f and fitted with cheekpieces in May but last month's 6f run was a backward step; cheekpieces now removed; tongue-tie added. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made it 2-4 on Tapeta when winning off 4lb lower over 7f at Wolverhampton last month (beat Joud, who was due to run in the 4.30); went without headgear for the first time this year that night and will need to find a bit more again in this more competitive handicap. |
5/1 |

1st 6 (4) |
21st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Hasn't built on his nursery win here in first-time blinkers (6f) last November off 7lb higher; headgear dispensed with for the first time since but hard to warm to. |
4/1 |
|
6th 10 (3) |
14th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Successful in a 6f handicap on Wolverhampton AW on final 2yo start but it's been a grind this year despite dropping 9lb since reappearance; up against it for now. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Yet to score in 12 attempts but it wasn't a bad effort when sixth over 5f here in April and she responded well to cheekpieces when close third at Thirsk (6f, also good) a fortnight ago; can race off 1lb lower and a first success isn't ruled out despite tricky stall. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 9 (9) |
14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
0-11 but beaten under 3l in three races over 5f before not getting home over 7.5f at Beverley last time; worth another crack at this distance and sports first-time cheekpieces; not out of this. |
10/1 |
|
12th 6 (9) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 75y Class 6 |

Hasn't been running too badly over 5f, beaten under 3l in her last three races; whether she'll get this far remains to be seen. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
13-race maiden who may be better at 5f but he's run some good races this year, including beaten just a nose at Beverley (5f, good to firm) two starts ago, and he might not be far away. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
14th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden after 12 starts but he has gone close in two C&D handicaps (good to firm) this year and to his credit that he nearly got back up three weeks ago, in this headgear combination; in the thick of it. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Only fourth in handicaps at Redcar and Carlisle on last two starts and needs something extra today if he's to get off the mark at the 12th attempt; however, he went close in a C&D seller (good to firm) last month and perhaps the return to Beverley will prompt a bigger performance. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Two ordinary efforts in Tapeta handicaps this spring, each time at a big price; first-time headgear will need to make a difference dropped 4lb and Maldevious looks her trainer's best chance. |
20/1 |
|
9th 2 (10) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
No immediate progress for switch to handicapping, making only limited late headway at Newcastle (5f, AW; seventh of 11, 22-1) ten days ago; her dam won over 7f-1m, so this step back up in trip should aid her cause. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Her best effort in novice/maiden events last summer was a close fourth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on her second start; now goes handicapping off what looks a workable mark and she needs watching in the market after 231 days off. |

Kept on for promising third at Southwell (6f, AW) in January for James Fanshawe but down the field on final outing for that yard and it's been the same story on her three starts for this one; now 0-9. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Extended her trainer's fine record in the Rous Selling Stakes at York (6f, good to firm) when winning last June; not at her best on her final two starts last year, but more like it when fifth at Newcastle (6f AW; with Taaklam two places ahead) 17 days ago; stablemate of Dabbling. |

5th 8 (14) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won a 6f seller at York last summer (good to firm); well short of that level in two subsequent runs last year; enough to prove back from 209 days off. |
