4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
His 8.6f win at Wolverhampton came out of the blue and he then disappointed at Nottingham; seems far more effective on the AW; tries an eyeshield. |
14/1 |

8th 9 (2) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue when awarded a handicap over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; retains plenty of handicapping scope on peak form but has done the majority of his winning on AW. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Last four efforts leave plenty to be desired but has dropped 2lb lower than for the latest of two wins at Nottingham (1m2f) last July; respected if the first-time cheekpieces bring about a resurgence. |
12/1 |

9th 1 (10) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Bit to prove back at 1m but is otherwise interesting returned to Nottingham, being 2-2 here, namely a 1m2f double last July; 0-10 elsewhere. |

On a losing run and he beat only one in 11.5f Lingfield handicap ten days ago; not ruled out though if back on his A-game. |

6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored. |
9/1 |
|
6th 12 (13) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f; first-time cheekpieces) last month and he followed up with a dominant display on his return visit two weeks later; 7lb higher here but he remains well handicapped on his old form including a win over C&D; key player. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Gained his first win since his debut when scoring by half a length at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) a week ago; has a 5lb penalty and the outside stall to contend with, but he remains unexposed over this sort of trip; hood removed. |
7/2 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-9 since debut win at Salisbury in July 2024 and untested at 1m2f, but he's dropped down the weights and was a very close fourth here (1m, good to firm) last time; could be in the mix if seeing out the trip. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Poor effort at Windsor last time perhaps not hard to forgive in view of her turf record and she proved most consistent on the AW before that, including when beaten less than a length over C&D in April; respected back in this sphere. |
5/1 |
|
7th 7 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Made winning stable debut at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) in January and she's held her form with three solid placed efforts since; 2lb higher than when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time but that was a bold bid and she's still unexposed on turf; respected back in this sphere. |

20th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Very smart 2yo who has lost his way but off a much reduced mark he was a close fourth at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) after being well backed; he might well have won that race on another day as he hit some traffic. |
6/4 |
|
4th 8 (12) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Scored on his debut here in June 2024 but without a victory since and fitted with eyeshields when failing to beat a rival in 7f Wolverhampton handicap last time; hard to warm to. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
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. |
4/1 |
|
5th 10 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
15-race maiden who didn't look an easy ride when 2l fourth of nine over C&D (good) last month and needs to prove he can get the job done; however, he often runs well and might not be far away. |

Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field in his five handicaps (6f-1m2f); now 10lb lower than opening mark but he needs to raise his game after 104 days off. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three third-placed finishes on quick turf (1m) and AW (9.5f) last term but finished the year tamely and wind surgery didn't improve matters in two starts last month; tongue-tie added. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden (0-11); twice placed on AW, including when third to Serious Look at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 10-1) last October; less effective since - eased 5lb in the weights - but could draw benefit from his Yarmouth comeback run (first outing since wind surgery). |
