21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first five starts on the AW between October 2023 and October 2024 including twice over C&D; has run well on several occasions since then and just 2lb above his last winning mark, but the outside stall makes things tricky. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Five-time AW winner but he was reluctant to race at Kempton (tailed off) last month and finished well held back off a lower turf mark at Sandown (1m, good) last time; record on grass is 0-9 and others are preferred. |

Well handicapped on this year's AW form but reluctant to race when well beaten at Kempton (1m, AW) last month and he has a lower turf mark for a very good reason (0-8 on grass as opposed to 5-12 on AW). |

Came from the rear to win on his handicap/stable debut at Chester (7.5f, good) in June and has suffered trouble in running both starts since; this 3yo retains potential and could play a leading role if getting the breaks. |

Won a Lingfield novice (7f, Polytrack) last November and added an Ascot handicap (1m, good) in May; out of the frame in three starts since, though not disgraced when sixth of 14 in first-time blinkers at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last month; bit more needed all the same. |

Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last season, over C&D in April (good) and off 1lb lower over 1m1f at York in June (good to firm; beat Cosmos Raj by a nose); not disgraced in two competitive handicaps this season and is the one to beat now down in grade. |

9st 7lb |
Ended last season with a good third to Man Of La Mancha over 1m1f on this course (good to firm); shaped as if retaining all his ability when seventh of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster, short of room closing stages; should be spot-on with that run behind him and looks ready to strike. |

17th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has patchy profile but he put in a dominant display at Kempton (1m) in October and he had some traffic issues in the closing stages when a respectable sixth over C&D last time; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D winner; off the mark for this yard when beating 12 rivals at Windsor in July (1m, soft); not so good in Doncaster classified event four weeks ago but this return to Class 6 will help and he has the ability to feature. |
14/1 |

14th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

These terms don't appear that favourable at face value but he returned to winning ways in a 1m handicap at Windsor (soft; second run in this headgear combination) and he was worthy of a much higher mark last year; considered. |

Now 2lb lower than when keeping on well for close second behind course specialist in quite valuable Brighton Mile this summer, but recent Tapeta form has been underwhelming and he remains without a win since 2023. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

8th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

All three wins for his former yard came over 7f at Kempton; two runs for his new stable, showing he retained all his ability when second at Ffos Las ten days ago (7.4f, soft; cheekpieces first time); drops to 6f for the first time and it remains to be seen how he'll cope with it. |

Came from well off the pace to win nicely over C&D a month ago, taking his form figures at Ascot to 23047131 and those were in fierce handicaps; only 3lb higher than last time and course form here is a big selling point. |
