20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained all four of his wins at Newcastle, with the most recent of those successes coming there over 5f 16 days ago; 3lb rise looks fair but he was well beaten when last seen over 6f. |
8/1 |

1st 2 (4) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
All three of his wins have come at Newcastle and he has run some good races this winter, including his latest third when keeping on after an awkward start (not his first); capable at this level; respected. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Gained both wins at Newcastle in 2024; failed to beat a rival there in last two starts during a light 2025 campaign; drops in class but doesn't look the percentage call. |

31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Showed little on his last three starts in 2024 but there was a bit more promise in his C&D third 17 days ago (finished ahead of Show Me Show Me and Darlo Pride); visor swapped for blinkers today; not ruled out. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Hasn't built on his success at Southwell (5f, AW) in March; not disgraced when sixth over C&D nine days ago but he'll need more if he's to return to winning ways. |
12/1 |

6th 22 (5) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Won off this mark in small field at Southwell (5f, AW) in March; ran pretty well on next two starts but down the field at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) latest and others are preferred in a hotter race than he's used to. |
33/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |

A wind op last spring had a positive effect; back to winning ways with a ready Southwell win in March; both runs since have been respectable but others in the field look better handicapped. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
He has won on fast turf (7f) but he is a better horse on AW; not at his best on his last two starts and now tries 1m for the first time on his 26th start. |

6th 5 (5) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two-time C&D winner who went desperately close to making it three when pipped at the post by Flowstate (won twice since) last month; disappointed back here since but he's nicely handicapped if bouncing back to form in a first-time visor. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Won four races on turf last year and resumes after an unsuccessful stint on the AW, 2lb lower than when last successful; fascinating contender. |

5th 1 (5) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-18 on AW and can get it wrong at the start; on the plus side, he is dropping into a 0-60 today and you don't have to go back too far to find form that gives him a strong chance. |
11/1 |

5th 7 (3) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Offered more on his second run back from a winter break behind Beauzon on Friday (5lb better off tonight); that made it 0-17 on the AW and there's always a chance he'll fluff the start but he does seem to like it here. |

27th Jun 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Still unexposed after only four runs but was unable to land a significant blow when upped to 7f for recent handicap debut at Wetherby (good) and clearly needs to take a big step forward on this return to Tapeta. |
33/1 |

9th 6 (8) |
11th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Handicap debutant who isn't particularly solid on his form in sprint races and doesn't look obviously well treated; chance depends on whether he improves for new trip. |

24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A dual 7f AW scorer in early spring but she's yet to match that form in two subsequent runs on turf, only ninth at Doncaster (7f) 25 days ago; she's hard to warm to. |

28th May 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Successful in two of her last four starts on the AW, the latest an easy win at Southwell (7f) last month; 6lb higher and hard to know how she will cope with the likely conditions on turf debut, but a player if she handles them. |

15th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Improved form (head second, clear of remainder) over 5f at Wolverhampton on handicap debut last time and should build on that effort; bred to do better still, being half-sister to two winners for her yard; 3lb rise looks manageable; respected. |

8th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Improved form when second over 6f at Pontefract (heavy) and third over 5f here (soft) in April; not in quite the same form when fourth back at this course (6f) last time; even a return to her best might not be good enough back up in trip. |

Improved form on last two starts, finishing second over this trip at Pontefract (heavy; third and fourth have franked the form) and last week finishing runner-up over 5f here (soft); step back up to 6f should suit; good chance. |
