30th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Dual Tapeta winner last year who's looked to find this mark just beyond him in three runs back; pulled hard and didn't see it out last time (7f) but this will be more about speed on his first ever crack at sprinting. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Has won two of his five races since gelded, both over 7f on the Southwell Tapeta; latest fourth at Newcastle (7f) was a fine run as well, with the first three ridden handier and he found some trouble in running; should get involved if as effective back on turf. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Rattled the crossbar on three occasions this summer, missing out by a nose at Carlisle (6f, good; 5-2 favourite) in early July; failed to fire (only sixth) back there three weeks ago and he's probably missed his opportunity for now. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up three consecutive times since returning from short break in June, losing out only by a nose over C&D (good) on second occasion; creeping up the weights but ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (8) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner; runner-up on last two starts, beaten a nose at Carlisle (6f, good; 5-2 favourite) four weeks ago; that form looks solid, with the winner running well in a Class 4 at York subsequently; 1lb higher, but does have Alex Jary's 3lb claim to assist; key player. |

Turf winner at 6f; maiden on AW and below best in two AW handicaps at this trip but he's dropped a few pounds since making his yard debut and remains of interest on autumn form with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

9st 9lb |
Off the mark with a last-gasp win over C&D (soft) in July but she's finished a well-held fourth in both subsequent runs (AW/turf); only 1lb higher than for her win but she's now 1-10 and has bit to prove again. |

9th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

All five wins on the AW and not a lot wrong with his recent efforts at Kempton and Southwell, the latest a 7f Racing League Handicap; stays this far and can again make presence felt. |
5/1 |

5th 8 (1) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Behind a couple of these over C&D last month but he signalled he was ready to strike when second at Kempton two weeks ago, coming from well back having been dropped in from a wide stall; 3lb rise shouldn't prevent a bold showing. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |

Ran well in a higher level on the AW two weeks ago (125-1) and that was after a lengthy break; might be sharper this time and has competitive form here off this sort of mark. |
8/1 |

4th 10 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Generally struggled early in the year and returns from a break of five months; wins have all come after a recent outing and does most of his racing at a lower level now, so has a bit to overcome. |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Far from convincing on 2026 form and chance partly depends on the actions of the weather; may prove resurgent when he's back on ideal ground, namely soft/heavy; on last winning mark. |
14/1 |

16th 4 (13) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Soft-ground specialist who landed a fifth success when scoring at Ayr (1m) in September; yet to get going in three starts this year but he's edging down the weights and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye; requires monitoring in the market with every drop of rain in his favour. |

7yo who was better than ever last season, a campaign that concluded with a fine second of 17 over C&D (good); races off the same mark today but he hasn't shone on his two outings this year. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |

Acts well over C&D but hasn't been back here since impressive win in 2023; on a handy mark and of interest after a good Leicester run in May, with Oisin Murphy a rare booking for the yard (0-1 in last five years). |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

3rd 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |

Just one win in 25 starts since his successful debut despite a sliding mark and well held on his return from four months off at Thirsk (7f, good; first since since wind surgery) in September; needs to improve for the different surface on AW debut. |
