14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Enjoying an excellent year, winning at Wolverhampton, Bath and Ffos Las; two fine placed efforts have followed the latest win and when down the field last time it was a stronger race than this; type to bounce back quickly. |

9st 8lb |
All three wins have been at Brighton, the most recent coming in a first-time tongue-tie on last month's stable debut; below his best following a slow start at Bath last time but has form on AW and could bounce back. |
25/1 |
|
14th 9 (6) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |

Close fourth of 16 last time at Brighton (6f), the scene for all three career wins; has run well here as well and should be on the scene once more despite a fairly tough mark. |
7/1 |
|
4th 10 (4) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
8st 7lb |
C&D wins in two of his last three starts, the latest his stable debut 16 days ago when he wore a tongue-tie for the first time; a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. |

Multiple wins, three over this C&D; has run some fair races on turf since the latest of them in January and anything approaching his form at the turn of the year would put him in this picture. |

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

Juvenile winner but now on a losing run and left previous yard for 2,400gns; best runs this year have been in classified races but this mark shouldn't be beyond her. |

30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
His five AW wins include one over this C&D; below his best at Bath (5.5f, good to soft) last time on his first start for 74 days but he was running well prior to that and returns to the AW off a handy mark; cheekpieces, worn last time, are discarded. |
8/1 |
|
13th 11 (12) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Five of his six wins have come on the AW but consistent in the main on most surfaces and came from behind to be third to Neptune Legend here 74 days ago; has run well after similar breaks in the past. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Back in much better form, having won a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) in clearcut fashion last month then finished a neck second in Bath handicap (5f, firm) last week; enters calculations despite still having a modest strike-rate. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; well beaten here in handicaps in May and June; produced her best effort for over a year when winning going away in a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) latest; well treated on her return to this sphere if repeating that effort but it's hard to predict if she will. |
15/8 |
|
1st 7 (10) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win from 29 starts was at Bath (5f, good to firm) in August 2024; ran respectably in a classified event there (5.7f) two weeks ago but this looks tough on the figures and others are preferred. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Best efforts have all come on Tapeta and he's struggled in both runs this season, having regressed last year; not easy to make a case for him. |
25/1 |
|
11th 6 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win from his 20 starts but that came over C&D, and Tapeta brings out the best in him; not disgraced on last month's reappearance at Bath and he's down to a handy mark; of interest now back here. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Looks interesting on his second at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in November but he took backward steps on final two runs last year; overall record is now 1-19 and he's yet to be placed in seven runs on turf; has work to do on return. |

8st 10lb |
Turf wins at about 5f, here and in a classified event at Bath in June; mixed since the latter win but he wasn't far away in a better race than this over C&D in August (hood left off, now returns) under Myla Coppins and has claims on that form. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Won a classified event over C&D in June; best run since when midfield in a better race than this at Brighton ten days ago; minor money perhaps his best hope. |

|
8th 13 (8) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |

Doesn't find winning easy and he has been well short of his best on his last three starts; others have stronger claims. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Five of his last seven wins have come at Brighton, including when he took six-runner handicap (5.5f, good to firm) in August; comparable form back at that track on his last two outings, but they suggest he needs a bit extra from this mark. |
12/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Notched a third win over C&D earlier in the month; that race rather fell into his lap, though, with the leaders going off too hard, and he'll find today's company tougher off a 6lb higher mark; not disgraced, having made late headway, here (6f) on Sunday. |

Well held in a warmer race at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last time, but was running well there before that including a win in a 0-50 classified event (5f, good); still relatively unexposed and shortlisted. |

10th 12 (5) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |

Off the mark in a 0-50 classified event here in June and he has run well in defeat here twice since; still improving and that doesn't apply to too many in this field. |

2nd 5 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |

Had achieved little prior to springing a surprise in a 0-50 classified event over C&D two months ago; ran to a similar level, back up to 6f, here next time and this is no more competitive back into handicap company. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced maiden who missed a chunk of her career; has not always looked straightforward, hanging badly left throughout last time (7f) having made most of the running; has the option of going far side from stall 3 and it could well be all or nothing. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 (9) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Six-race maiden; set good pace and belied 66-1 odds when fourth in Southwell maiden (6f, AW) in April, after a long layoff, but was well beaten in a recent Bath handicap (5.7f, good to firm); back up in trip here; remains tricky to weigh up. |
20/1 |
|
12th 1 (4) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Unexposed 5yo who returned after 485 days off with a front-running fourth of 13 in a Southwell maiden (6f, AW; 66-1) last month; carried her head awkwardly in the closing stages but that was a promising effort and she needs a close look back in a handicap. |

14-race maiden but he returned to form with a creditable third at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) 17 days ago; that was more like it with blinkers added and has claims if he can back that up. |
8/1 |

3rd 7 (1) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden; has attracted support on a few occasions, including at Doncaster on her seasonal return, and could yet have a bigger run in him; blinkers replace the hood or cheekpieces worn on his last three starts. |
12/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-12 and well beaten at Newcastle when last seen in November; he was sent off favourite on that occasion and returns from a break off a 2lb lower mark; no doubt the ability is there to win races if the addition of a hood has a calming effect (often races too freely). |
