16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
On a long losing run but he's twice gone close on AW this year (7f/1m) and fared best of the eight-strong centre group when fifth of 13 here (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; might not be far away. |
8/1 |

5th 9 (14) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
On a lengthy losing run but he's knocking firmly at the door, just edged out in a first-time tongue-strap at Lingfield (1m) four weeks ago; goes well at Newmarket and makes plenty of each-way appeal. |
14/1 |

2nd 9 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
From a wide draw he did plenty of early running to get his position at Wolverhampton (7f) two weeks ago and that softened him up in the finish; without a win since 2023, but well drawn, stays this far and a tongue-tie is added. |

16th Feb 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Well suited by this C&D but seems to have lost her way since last summer's turf win and was particularly disappointing on her latest outing 16 days ago; needs a good boost from the first-time blinkers. |

9th Sep 2025 Good 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Kept on well to score at his beloved Hamilton (1m4f, good) four weeks ago; a 5lb rise will make life tougher as he seeks to win away from that Lanarkshire venue for the first time; down the field (sixth) behind Stellarmasterpiece over 1m4f here in April. |

12th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual course winner (1m4f/1m5f); form has dipped slightly since finishing runner-up at Carlisle (1m6f, good to firm) in May but, on recent evidence, he's closely matched with today's rivals Crystal Guard and Sugarpiehoneybunch; foolish to dismiss. |

10th Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won very similar C&D race to this last summer and was second in C&D handicaps on next two outings; has strong claims if judged on those efforts but needs to raise her game after ending 2024 with two below-par runs. |

22nd Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Four-time AW scorer who has proved consistent, including on grass, since most recent success (in May); went close off this mark at Chester (good) on last turf attempt; in the mix. |
7/2 |

3rd 5 (5) |
3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Won twice over 1m2f on Polytrack in the spring and has continued to run well, most recently runner-up at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack); that surface may suit better than Tapeta but he's not discounted here. |

8th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Nicely bred and minor promise in a soft-ground maiden on final qualifying run at Newbury in April but he ran no sort of race on handicap debut when upped to 1m2f (good) there in May; all to prove after that. |
12/1 |

16th 4 (4) |
19th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Well beaten in his first three starts over 1m/1m2f including one in France; nicely bred, though, being a half-brother to six winners including Morandi (7f-1m2f 2yo including Group 1; RPR 117) and Ottilien (1m2f-1m4f including Listed; 109); no great surprise were he to show more now handicapping. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Blew the start at Leicester last month when making it 1-18 on turf; however, he won at Southwell (7f, AW) in February and was back on the scoresheet there (7f) last Thursday, and is not ruled out today. |
8/1 |

7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

All three of his wins on the AW have been at this track, the most recent in a C&D classified in February; well beaten after missing the break at Leicester (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago but may bounce back returned to AW. |

Sole turf win came over 1m2f in 2023 and three subsequent successes have been on the AW (1m and 7f); has continued to run well since the latest of them in February but this is his first 6f run since his debut. |

The winner of one of his nine starts for Ed Walker, namely a 1m4f Polytrack handicap in August 2023; sold for 42,000gns in October 2023 and finished second of five at Chelmsford on debut for the Horse Watchers (1m6f); absent for 720 days and has now joined Rebecca Menzies; low mileage and the betting should be revealing. |
