26th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
11yo who has won just once since 2021 but that came at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) this June; has run well several times this year, including when fourth of 13 at York (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago, and might not be far away. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
11yo now but he's had a few bright moments this season, including second of eight to Kihavah at Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; his sixth of 20 in the John Smith's Cup over C&D in July shows he's still effective over shorter trips. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Record of 3-4 on the AW but has comparable form on turf and ran right up to his best when third over 1m2f at Ayr 16 days ago; C&D winner in August who should be in the thick of it. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
21st Sep 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has done well for shrewd current connections and scored at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time, taking AW record to 3-4; only 1-11 on turf but the win came on most recent attempt in this sphere; steadily progressive and enters calculations. |
11/4 |

1st 6 (8) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Won his first two starts for this yard at this track, the second of them over C&D; added a Redcar handicap last month and ran another sound race when fourth at Newcastle last week (just in front of Carolus Magnus); should give it another good go. |

On a losing run and went backwards from C&D reappearance fifth to Spioradalta when well held at Hamilton a fortnight ago; on a career-low mark but need to see more. |

10yo with a 9-57 record on turf compared to 0-9 (three seconds) on AW; still a force on turf last season (won off 5lb higher) and 2025 reappearance was okay but he took a backward step at Ripon next time. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
His last two wins came in this race in 2022 (soft) and 2023 (heavy), when trained by George Boughey; he may prefer deeper ground than he'll get today but he ran well when third of nine at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and the promising Alexandra Egan removes a useful 7lb; respected. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
25th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Beaten 17l on his British comeback in valuable handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March, after which he left George Boughey; far from disgraced after a 132-day break when fourth of six on stable debut at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) seven weeks ago; easier ground no problem and this trip is fine; far from dismissed. |
7/1 |

8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Some good runs in Bahrain but beaten 17l on his British comeback in the valuable Rosebery at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March, after which he left George Boughey; best known for his exploits in the mud, which isn't forecast, and probably best watched after 132 days away; stable debut. |

9st 11lb |
Ended his 2025 campaign with a half-length success in Class 2 event over C&D (good to firm) and is only 2lb higher back here; possibilities with Chester reappearance under his belt. |
5/1 |
|
8th 4 (14) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
All four wins at around this trip including one here (soft) in the summer of 2023; looked unlucky when beaten a head in this race off 3lb lower on his reappearance a year ago; won't mind what the weather does, but stall 14 isn't ideal. |
12/1 |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
May well have won at Chester (10.3f, good) in May granted a clear run; just 1lb higher today but Royal Ascot next time was a backward step and he was tailed-off last in a top handicap at York on latest outing. |

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. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (3) |
7th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |

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. |
4/1 |

3rd 7 (11) |
20th Aug 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
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. |
