12th 2 (4) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Finished down the field on stable/seasonal debut at Chester (7.5f) this month but that doesn't tell the full story as he ran well for a long way from his wide draw and was hampered late on; he's dropped to an attractive mark and is just the type his new trainer does very well with. |

12th 1 (10) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Won a 7f Listed race here (good to soft) for Andrew Balding in 2024; still capable of smart performances for Marco Botti last year but wasn't at his best on final two starts, including in a course seller; sold for 45,000gns in October; a Group 1 entry at Royal Ascot suggests new connections are hopeful he retains all his ability. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (3) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Two pieces of form at Wolverhampton in 2025 that give him outstanding claims at these weights, namely close thirds in a 7f Listed race and a strong 6f handicap; not so good on his last three starts and alarm bells were ringing when he was dropped into selling company at Chester 11 days ago, a race where he was a disappointing fourth; too much ability to discount but there are risks involved. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner but she's on a long losing run and was beaten 9l on Goodwood reappearance (6f, good) 17 days ago; that was a Class 3 but she needs to leave that form a long way behind on this drop back in trip. |
20/1 |

7th 8 (8) |
1st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Course scorer who largely ran well without winning in 2025; she has a good record fresh too, so needs considering on her seasonal return. |
14/1 |

3rd 5 (6) |
30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't won for a while but runner-up the last twice and only narrowly failed to reel in Marching Mac over C&D last time; has a 10lb pull on the winner; major player. |

8th 25 (20) |
21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Looked an exciting prospect when winning two Tapeta handicaps (5f) this winter; possible to excuse his three defeats since (poorly drawn first two and then ended up in the middle of the track at Epsom three weeks ago); has something to prove on fast ground but it's unlikely this mark will be beyond him; usual cheekpieces are back on after one go in blinkers. |
33/1 |
|
7th 2 (12) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Looked a sprinter going places in the winter, coming from off pace to win at Wolverhampton and Southwell, and although unplaced twice since there have been excuses; now drops back to 5f (3-3 at the trip) and wears blinkers instead of cheekpieces; should be suited by a well-run race; interesting. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins at Southwell on AW when trained by David Loughnane; beaten a neck in a classified over C&D (good to firm) in July but held in a couple of handicaps since; first-time cheekpieces now go on. |
16/1 |
|
10th 6 (9) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice here for David Loughnane (6f/7f); beaten a neck at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in July but she ran below that level at Windsor (6f, good) 40 days ago; returns to AW with an each-way chance. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Tapeta winner (6f/7f) for another yard; suffered near misses the last twice, in Jersey and then in a classified race at Brighton (6f); unlikely to be far away. |

25th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Out of the frame in five starts for George Boughey, the latest when fifth of nine stepped up to 1m at Southwell (Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) last month; changed hands for 4,500gns soon afterwards and something to prove back at 6f on stable debut. |
