1st 6 (3) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Gelded after three ordinary efforts in maidens in the spring; raised his game on handicap debut when a close second at Southwell (1m; tongue-tie added) last month and he built on that when landing the odds in good style at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm); up 7lb but he still looks feasibly treated on that latest form and is open to more progress; major player. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gelded after three ordinary efforts in maidens in the spring; solid effort in the first-time tongue-tie off this mark at Southwell last Monday, when a clear second, and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

15th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A dual 1m winner last summer; back in decent form of late and didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when fourth of seven in 1m Sandown handicap 18 days ago; in the picture. |
9/1 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 1m winner for the Frost yard last summer and she was a respectable second of five on stable debut at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) this month; that was after a short break and has possibilities if she can step forward from that. |
9/1 |

2nd 6 (6) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dual winner for the Frost yard this time last year, latterly off 3lb lower, but has been absent since pulling away her chances over C&D in the spring; needs a revival. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Three good runs since the tongue-tie went on, last time finishing third of five at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Serial slow starter who ended a losing run off a 4lb lower mark at Doncaster 11 days ago before bumping into a well-handicapped winner over C&D last Thursday; holds claims, especially if he can get away on terms for a change. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (5) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Often slowly away, just as he was when winning at Doncaster (1m, good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) last week having dropped a long way in the weights; has to be respected under a 5lb penalty. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Inconsistent maiden who has his quirks; can miss the start and pull hard, while he did some hanging when fourth of the five runners last time; not the percentage call. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Inconsistent maiden who has missed the start and/or pulled hard; no problem with 9.5f on Tapeta last time, when turning in his best effort since handicapping (made most), but history suggests he's no good thing to build on it. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Struggled since handicapping this year and he blew the start at Wetherby last month before pulling too hard on Tapeta a fortnight ago; goes beyond 1m for the first time and will need to settle better upped from 7f. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Three-time Tapeta winner who's been expensive to follow in recent times; ridden more prominently than usual when below par last time but there have been too many near-misses for comfort. |
6/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up twice in May (C&D on good to firm first occasion); caught too far back when fourth over 1m here last time; likely still in good form but needs things to drop right the way he's ridden. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |
