8th Aug 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins, one of them here, have been at 6f; has some decent form over 7f and comes into the reckoning after a fair run at Wolverhampton last time (6f, met trouble in running). |
9/1 |

6th 8 (5) |
19th Jul 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
4-18 on turf and 0-21 on the AW, albeit running well here on a few occasions as when beaten less than a length into second of ten over 7f in January; makes his debut at this level and cannot be dismissed. |
9/1 |

25th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

Close second over 7f in January; far from consistent otherwise this year and he's still seeking a first win beyond 6f; very well treated on best form but isn't a solid option. |

5th May 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Consistent off his revised mark since a C&D win (only victory to date) early in the year; has claims if the return of headgear, for the first time since he left Richard Fahey, does the trick. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f. |
11/1 |
|
9th 4 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Seven-time winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D in September; has been hit and miss since but he finished second here (7f) on his penultimate run and wasn't disgraced after an awkward start at Southwell last time; usually races prominently and he's not ruled out back at this track. |

12th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
10st 7lb |
Bits and pieces of form on the AW earlier in the year would give him a squeak; both wins have come on turf, but losing run up to 23 and he finished behind four of these at Redcar (6f, soft) last time. |

It's now 22 outings since his last success and he comes here on the back of a below-par fifth in 6f Chelmsford handicap 19 days ago; he's hard to warm to. |

Patchy form despite a slipping mark since winning his first two starts for this yard over C&D in October 2023; others are more persuasive. |

2nd Jan 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Won two in a row over C&D in October 2023 and last success was off 5lb higher; mixed record since then and was down the field here last time but he returns after a break and has claims if he can rediscover his spark. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
8yo who has a regressive profile but he's run pretty well in defeat on two of his last four runs (5f/6f, good to soft/good to firm), most recently fourth in a classified at Ripon, and could be involved. |
11/2 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
21st Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only run to form in one of his four starts this season, finishing third of seven at Redcar in May, but he's got two C&D wins on his record and dropping into this grade should help; revival quite possible. |
4/1 |
|
8th 10 (7) |
1st Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Two-time C&D winner, the second of them coming one year ago off a 7lb higher mark; struggling for consistency since then but he ran well at Redcar last month (5f, good to soft) and a repeat of that would see him involved. |

Runner-up at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month but he's been down the field the next twice on his first two encounters with Tapeta (over 7f at Wolverhampton and here); needs to raise his game. |

Backed at big prices at Kempton this month before coming from well back to take second (7f); 3lb rise for that fair enough and he's a key player now back in form. |

Regularly leads; winning haul well into double figures but better at 5f than 6f and has weakened all three starts at this trip over the winter; best watched. |

27th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Regularly leads; multiple winner who is well treated with The Tron on 5f course form last May but, like that one, he has much more to prove over 6f, having found little in two C&D runs this winter. |
