8th 5 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 5f winner as a 2yo for Peter Chapple-Hyam and he also scored three times in France/Italy last year; raised his form to a new level in the second half of last season but he failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Goodwood 17 days ago; comes with risks attached after that and he needs to bounce back. |
25/1 |
|
11th 5 (6) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
A fairly useful 5f winner at 2yrs for Peter Chapple-Hyam; also scored three times in France/Italy in 2025 (signed off with 5f Listed success in Milan); since gelded and he can't be ruled out now starting out with Archie Watson. |
8/1 |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Kept improving as a 2yo, dropping to 5f for two wins in the mud in the autumn; had excuses at Sandown (good ground and drawn widest) on handicap/seasonal debut and may still have untapped potential; could have a say, especially if there's been plenty of rain. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
4-25; won from 3lb higher at York (6f, good) last May, and also went close (runner-up) back there in July; pestered for the lead, weakening late, when fourth on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; 15-8 favourite; form franked); now 2lb lower and with Jack Nicholls back aboard; chance. |
8/1 |
|
4th 4 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who goes well fresh; 1lb lower than when seeing off 19 rivals at York last May (6f, good); should be in the thick of the action. |
5/1 |
|
11 (14) |
24th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice in May and also ran well at York in July (6f, good to firm; 12lb better off with Aberama Gold for a neck defeat); quiet since then, however, and others have more persuasive claims. |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Didn't run badly at Pontefract 17 days ago (6f, soft) and he's not handicapped out of things on the best of this year's form; this might be a shade too competitive though. |
10/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner last November; successful at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May and went close at Pontefract in June; not quite at that level in his last three starts but he is unexposed on AW and the new tongue-tie could be beneficial. |

15th Nov 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who won twice in the spring, including a C&D handicap off 5lb lower; in and out since and although she's well drawn here, an easy lead is unlikely. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over 7f here of late and looked a bit unlucky not to make it four last Friday, when having Way To Dubai just behind; the drop to 6f shouldn't hurt and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Failed to win last season and absent since 17l defeat in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on AW in November; others have much less to prove. |
25/1 |
|
11th 11 (4) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Won three times last year but he has gone without success in 12 runs in 2025; down the weights and last month's Pontefract effort can be upgraded, making up ground towards the middle of the track (slowly away after the blindfold was removed late too); dropped 1lb despite the promise of that effort and his dam was an AW winner; cheekpieces replace the blinkers worn on his last two starts; could be interesting. |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three front-running C&D wins between last May and January; below best on last two starts but he might just have needed the recent sharpener following a break and can't be passed over too lightly. |
3/1 |
|
10th 6 (6) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Prominent racer with three C&D wins on his record, including on his penultimate start in January; not so good behind Okami five days later; has tended to come on for the run after breaks in the past. |
10/1 |
|
6 (1) |
23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Likes to lead and stayed in front over C&D earlier this month, his second win here this year; up 4lb but would be dangerous if not overly pressed up front. |

13th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Second of eight, beaten over 4l, on her nursery debut at Chelmsford ten weeks ago (6f); however, dropped away to finish last of 12 at Southwell on Thursday; needs to leave that behind her if turned out quickly. |
8/1 |
|
12th 6 (10) |
11th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Absent since her creditable second, albeit no match for winner, over 6f at Chelmsford (AW/handicap debut) ten weeks ago; open to progress at this level and enters calculations off same mark. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
2nd Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Trainer has been among the winners, including with a couple of 2yos, and Billy Loughnane (first ride for him) is a positive booking; starts nursery life off a basement mark and is one to consider. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
2-2 over C&D, with the most recent of those wins coming last May off the same mark as today; solid efforts on the AW when last seen and he's since undergone wind surgery for the second time; contender back at this track. |
9/1 |
|
5 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-20 and his last success was off a similar mark in May; didn't shine at Newcastle last time but that was a muddling race and he didn't get much luck over C&D (close third) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good strike-rate and confirmed his wellbeing when keeping on well for third at Chelmsford last week, meeting trouble and nearest at the finish; closely matched with Riot, who also had a miserable trip through that Chelmsford event, and he shaped well in one previous run on Tapeta. |

31st May 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Showed some ability when trained in UK and again in two Irish maidens over slightly longer trips; looks quick enough for the minimum and could have a future in handicaps off this low a mark. |

21st May 2024 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

Won in this grade on turf in summer 2024 but is 0-26 on AW; made the frame twice off her basement handicap over C&D in the autumn and didn't run badly when seventh in this grade here last month but others look stronger. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

7th 8 (3) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Yet to win on AW (0-25); far from convincing since finishing fourth to Bishop's Glory over 6f here (7-1) in November; last of seven over 6f here ten days ago; clear and obvious risks. |
