30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Signed off for 2025 with 1m win at Southwell; looked rusty after five months off when eighth of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap last month; took this prize in 2024 so not dismissed with usual cheekpieces refitted. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Added another two 1m wins to his CV in 2025, including on AW when last seen in November; this 2lb higher mark shouldn't prove beyond him but his record fresh, allied to the absence of cheekpieces (worn on last seven starts), suggest this may not be his day. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
4lb higher than when beating 18 rivals here (1m, good) in July and was having his first go over this sort of trip when third of seven at Redcar (1m2f, good) last time (winner has gone in again since); needs to prove his stamina in this much bigger field, though. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |

Very smart when at his best on the Flat but doesn't look the force of old and pulled up here in June on handicap debut over hurdles. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Makes handicap hurdle debut looking well treated on best Flat form, albeit with recent evidence (including under this code) suggesting he's not the force of old. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart at his best on the Flat; made low-key start to hurdling career during the winter but positives can be drawn from his fourth at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and he ought to be better suited by the faster ground here. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
5yo who has won four of his 12 starts, the latest win coming at Sandown in June (1m2f, good to firm; made all); 1m4f stretched him at Ascot last time out and he can't be discounted now back down in trip, but he's inconsistent and others are a bit more compelling. |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
1m winner at this track in May 2023; failed to make a serious impact since until making all at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm; off 4lb lower) last month; back up 4lb but the idea of 1m4f does not seem ridiculous given the manner of that win. |

3rd May 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Slowly away every time last season and wasn't quite the force of old in a mixed campaign, but he won at Nottingham (1m, good) in June and was a creditable third at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in September; left Sir Michael Stoute for 42,000gns in October and needs to better what he did in 2024. |

21st Sep 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Multiple winner for Keith Dalgleish and was rated higher in his prime; has form figures of 2234 for new stable and again has frame possibilities; scored over C&D in 2022. |

Won at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May for the now-retired Keith Dalgleish and has form figures of 223 for his current yard; this return to Tapeta is no problem and he has each-way claims again. |

Won at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in May for the now-retired Keith Dalgleish and he's been a good second on his first two starts for this yard (1m, good to soft/soft); there's every chance he'll be in the mix. |

Not beaten far on any of his three hurdling starts for Fergal O'Brien this season and, given he was very useful on the Flat at his best, could quite plausibly turn out to be well treated for this handicap hurdle debut. |

25th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Not at the top of his game in four starts at Kempton and Southwell since returning from a break but all four AW wins have come over 7f-1m here and he's well treated on the form he showed at this time last year if a return to this venue sparks a revival. |

10th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Four-time Newcastle winner, latterly off today's mark early in the year; pulled hard in a messy affair on Polytrack last time and should do better back to Tapeta under a 7lb claimer who's enjoying a good spell. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Made all off 1lb higher at Windsor (1m, good) in spring 2024 and will also be suited by today's trip-and-surface combination but returned from long absence with 15l defeat last month and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Made all in good style at Windsor (1m, good) in April 2024 and this 7yo is well treated now 2lb higher if retaining that ability; however, he's returning from a 454-day absence so there are questions to answer. |
33/1 |

10th 3 (9) |
28th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Wolverhampton winner early last year who scored in some style at Windsor (1m, good) this month but was disappointing under his penalty at Pontefract (1m, soft) six days ago; not quite sure what to expect after that; stable also runs Visibility. |
