4th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Tapeta winner as a 2yo; latest third of six here (1m6f; visored first time) wasn't a bad effort but it will need bettering if he's to come out on top today. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 (1) |
26th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Narrowly landed a Newcastle novice (1m, Tapeta) last October and second of four here (1m3f) in January, but three of his four efforts since have been moderate including at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) last time; needs to get back on track with a visor replacing blinkers. |

7th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Four AW runs much better than his three turf efforts; things didn't pan out his way on his first crack at 1m6f/first run in headgear last time and he can't be ruled out. |

Won this race on good ground 12 months ago but was on an upward curve at that stage and doesn't obviously arrive in anything like the same form this time round. |

11th 5 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Runner-up in this race last year before going on to beat American Gal by a neck in a Group 3 at Ascot (1m, good) 18 days later; not at the same level in three starts this year and although not beaten that far in the Kensington Palace at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month (four of these behind), still more will be needed. |
15/2 |

8th 4 (17) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Third in this race on good to firm last year and left even that form behind when bagging a Group 3 over the round mile here under Billy Loughnane a month later; hasn't fired in two outings this spring but given a chance by the handicapper as a result and no shock to see a revival back at Ascot. |

29th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
13-race maiden; returned to form when dropped to this grade at Ayr (1m2f) three weeks ago, finishing second; rather exposed but may have a Class 6 event in him. |

2nd 10 (11) |
8th Jul 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
3yo maiden whose form has dipped since being gelded (consistent previously); well handicapped on best efforts but doesn't look poised to open his account. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Newcastle regular (four wins) but well held in both visits here; still 4lb above his last winning mark and others make greater appeal. |
14/1 |

8th 14 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (7f) in May, and good second at Chester (7f, good to soft) in June; however, only fifth of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has to leave that run behind if he's to get off the mark on turf at the seventh attempt. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |

All four wins at Newcastle but nothing wrong with latest second at Chester, especially as he missed the break; good chance off 1lb higher. |

Son of Massaar has yet to make the frame in five starts, fifth of seven in 1m Redcar handicap 18 days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Signs of ability on debut over 1m on Newcastle AW in October but has made little impact since, including on handicap debut back at Newcastle last week; has work to do right now. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Some promise over C&D on debut last October; no progress since but his reappearance last month was after a 293-day absence; betting useful now handicapping at a low level. |

23rd Sep 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made a promising start in handicaps when runner-up at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in January but he was well held here in his final two runs last winter; has been gelded and is still lightly raced but he has something to prove after seven months off. |

26th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Made a promising start in handicaps when runner-up at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last month but he failed to build on that when fourth of six over C&D last time; still lightly raced but he needs to kick on again to make a serious impact here. |

0-30 but comes here in good nick, third of ten in 1m classified event at Ayr 23 days ago; must enter calculations back in handicap company. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Beaten only by a short head and a nose when third in similar C&D race to this last month and also ran well when second at Newcastle (1m, AW) ten days ago, but his 0-29 strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third of 13 in a similar contest over C&D last month and only just lost out when third of ten at Ayr (1m, good) on his penultimate outing; record of 0-28 is hard to ignore, though. |
