17th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to get his head in front but he's a reliable sort and posted solid efforts in two Ascot handicaps at 1m6f/1m4f in the summer; he has a 164-day absence to overcome on his Tapeta debut but yard is among the winners and he holds leading form claims. |

24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
With new yard this year and much improved when readily making all in good-ground handicaps at Epsom (1m2f) and York (1m4f) this spring; a first crack at 1m6f isn't fanciful but he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat in 1m4f Listed race at Newmarket eight weeks ago. |

9st 10lb |
Wouldn't judge her too harshly on last two runs (met trouble on former occasion and then faced a stiff task from out of the weights latest); this more suitable and she's not discounted. |
10/1 |
|
7th 9 (4) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
1m4f turf win here last September; ended 2025 with three AW defeats though and she looks booked for a struggle from 5lb out of the handicap in this useful event. |
25/1 |

3 (1) |
30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Just 1-20 on turf but 4-17 on the AW including a win over C&D; raised just 2lb for last month's Lingfield success (1m4f, Polytrack) and likely to make her presence felt again. |

7th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Losing run up to 15 and finished a well-held fourth of six at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) last month but now 12lb lower than when gaining the latest of his four C&D successes at the start of 2021; drops into a 0-85 for the first time since the end of 2019 and worth a second look. |
14/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
2nd Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run goes back to January 2021; C&D second in November shows he's still capable of useful form but his three runs since then have been no more than respectable. |

13th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
5-19 on AW, compared to 0-3 on turf; thrown in judged on best AW ratings, including from three starts back, but he's not beaten a rival in those three runs on turf, including last time out. |
40/1 |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
On a losing run and he was tried in blinkers when a below-par seventh of ten in 1m6f handicap at Goodwood 30 days ago; others appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
7th 5 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Multiple winner who stays well but has failed to beat a rival in his last two races, with and without a visor; now tries blinkers. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two wins here including over this trip, but he ran very poorly on his return from four months off at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) a fortnight ago, especially as he proven fresh; visor returns. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Last five outings on AW, posting his most encouraging effort when second of 12 in a 2m Newcastle Good Friday handicap; nudged back up 2lb for that but he's still 3lb lower than when runner-up at Chester (2m, good to soft) last September; should go well. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won this in 2024 and he's dropping down the weights; this 8yo has shown the odd sign of spark over the last 12 months but his AW exploits this winter indicate it's best to look elsewhere. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 5f 216y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won the 2021 Northumberland Plate and last scored that December but has had only three runs since; heavy defeats at big odds on both this year, admittedly without the hood which returns today but it's hard to have great confidence in this 11yo taking advantage of his fall in the weights. |
28/1 |
|
5th 1 (3) |
2nd Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Won 2021 Northumberland Plate but seen only twice since winning 2m course conditions event in December of that year; will likely be sharper for a recent comeback run at Lingfield but he was never involved and this 11yo needs to have come on a lot in a short time to play a prominent role. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Held off his revised mark since an AW win late last year; not a bad effort back from a break returned to turf at Chester (1m4f; good record first time out in his younger years) last time and this is less competitive. |
8/1 |
|
8th 15 (10) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 with emphatic AW win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and came second on both AW starts in January (1m2f/9.4f); absent since lesser effort in February and not ideally drawn today but has two course wins (including a division of this race in 2024) on his CV; could have a say. |
