8th 9 (7) |
14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Has recorded seven AW wins, the last three over C&D; made the frame at Kempton in last two starts; in form and has possibilities off 2lb below last winning mark. |
6/1 |

4th 5 (1) |
30th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last three wins have been at this track over 7f and he was unlucky not to go closer here last week, having been caught in traffic up the straight before finishing strongly for third; yet to win over 1m but has to be considered. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (14) |
23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last three wins have been over C&D, the most recent coming on his stable debut in May off a 1lb higher mark than today's; didn't get home over 8.5f at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (caught wide early) but makes appeal back over this shorter trip (all seven wins over 7f). |

2nd 1 (8) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has come a stone down the weights this year and been expensive to follow lately; this is easier than he's used to, on his Tapeta debut, as the tongue-tie comes off and blinkers go back on, and a revival wouldn't be a shock. |
4/1 |

16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since Newmarket last June when 10lb higher in the ratings; had some off-days in the meantime and stopped quickly at Ascot a month ago. |
9/1 |
|
12th 2 (17) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Eight wins, the latest at Newmarket last summer (7f, good to soft) coming off 8lb higher; had some off-days in the meantime but last two efforts on ground that would have been on the fast side weren't too shoddy. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Prolific winner at up to 1m; more miss than hit in 2026 but that is reflected in a much-reduced handicap mark; today's trip is a query. |
14/1 |
|
8th 10 (5) |
18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Won this two years ago; inconsistent this season but has been competitive on a couple of occasions and he'll handle the ground. |
12/1 |

8th 6 (10) |
2nd Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time turf winner; rather inconsistent this season; has a chance on his third here in August (1m, good) but this softer ground against him. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner and dual C&D winner, the latest from 5lb higher just under a year ago; 0-16 in the meantime, though, and needs to do better than when returned to the AW at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; stable also runs Novak. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not been in much form off his lower turf mark this season, coming 12lb down the weights; is 3lb lower than when last seen on the AW but it may just be he's on the downgrade now. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
29th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner whose mark continues to fall and he showed some good AW form earlier this year; however, he's without a win on turf since 2019 and he's been unable to threaten on grass on his recent starts. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just held on to win 8.6f classified here in March and can handle today's drop back in trip but this is his first run since May and he might find this race too competitive. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Winning for the third time at Wolverhampton, and his first over further than 7f, when landing a C&D handicap in March; his stamina looked stretched by 9.4f when fourth 18 days ago; not ruled out back down in distance. |
5/2 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His third win here when holding on grimly last month (8.6f), ending a two-year losing streak; only 2lb higher but he wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up and has never raced over quite this far. |

Does most racing now at Newcastle, the scene of his last three wins; off for six weeks since finishing well held behind Captain Pickles over C&D. |
