28th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Strong traveller with eight wins on his record, the latest off this mark in March (5f, AW); well beaten in three starts for his new stable though and enough to prove at present. |
14/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (5f, AW) in March; however, he was soundly beaten on his final run for Tristan Davidson and it's been the same story on both outings for this stable. |
40/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Comfortably saw off six rivals at Lingfield (5f AW) in March but went up 7lb for that and then failed to figure at Wolverhampton and Chepstow; had some traffic issues on his stable debut last time but this is a deeper race and others are preferred. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

Six-time course winner (various ground) who runs off the same mark as when winning at Ffos Las in June; however, she's failed to shine here on her three runs this autumn and needs to turn things around. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual 6f winner (once here) last summer; also suited by 7f but we haven't seen him since a disappointing AW run in September and he probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark. |
12/1 |

2 (5) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Dual Polytrack winner who boasts a patchy record round here; has enjoyed a good spell of late under Charlie Tucker but whether he's up to winning on Tapeta off his revised mark is the question. |
6/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Thoroughly at home on this track, with three of his last four wins over C&D (good to soft and good) and the latest a fortnight ago, the day after a Windsor success; has won off higher marks than today's and his apprentice rider Charlie Tucker gets a sweet tune out of him; hat-trick is on the cards. |

6th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish filly who is far from solid on her form since racing in Britain; however, continues to drop in weights and may do better off current mark; market support would be worth heeding. |
14/1 |

8th 4 (1) |
6th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish filly; well beaten in two runs for David O'Meara in June but her stable debut at Kempton last month was promising; not quite so good over 7f here 13 days ago but she's well drawn back at 6f and has dropped a long way in the weights. |
10/1 |

24th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

7th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |

Regressive since coming over from Ireland and has done her racing over 7f-1m during the past year; turned in two poor efforts this spring and is tried in first-time blinkers dropping to the minimum trip. |

13th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Her losing run stands at 21 but she ran some good races over C&D last year; usual hood was absent when well beaten on her return to action two weeks ago and it remains off today. |

29th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-10 since winning at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) just over a year ago and finished a well-held third of seven at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; the first two have won since, though, so not dismissed down another 2lb. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Tapeta specialist but he's hung right before finishing a well-held fifth at Wolverhampton (5f) in his last two starts; continues to edge down the weights but he's 0-13 on turf and has not run in this sphere since last May; others preferred. |
11/2 |

5th 7 (7) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Four C&D wins (from marks in the 60s); excuses when a closing third over C&D on penultimate start; hung right when three places (over 4l) behind Shalaa Asker subsequently; has won for Kieran O'Neill but needs everything to drop his way. |

5th 7 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |

8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |

Out of sorts this winter; tumbled down the weights but not a solid option now returning to turf. |
