3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |

9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has won on all three Tapeta tracks, most recently over C&D in December, not as good since and although he ran better back here in April, he found little at Newcastle next time; others more likely. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (1) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Four 5f wins on Tapeta, two of them at this track; attracted support and returned to form with a closing third at Wolverhampton nine days ago; 1lb lower today; considered. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Beat Candy Warhol over C&D in December off this mark; unplaced in five runs since but he is well drawn and a revival wouldn't be a huge shock; stable also runs Toomuchforme. |

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 |
8st 6lb |
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. |
12/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Not straightforward (hangs right) but these conditions suit him well and he wasn't beaten far into third here two weeks ago; one of two contenders for Scott Dixon. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted. |
7/2 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner who broke his turf duck at Chester last July off a 2lb lower mark (5f, good); two respectable efforts here this spring and Finley Marsh replaces an apprentice today; a big run is on the cards. |
13/2 |
|
6th 3 (5) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
5f win at Chester (good) last summer came off a 4lb lower mark; encouraging return to action here (5.7f, good) 17 days ago and should go well if building on that first run for 199 days. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Running well for Iain Jardine since February, including wins at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in March and Hamilton (5f, good) last week; unpenalised for that latest success, so 3lb well in, as he was when creditable third at Ayr (favourite) yesterday; should go well again if that hasn't taken it out of him. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Showed a likeable attitude to get off the mark on turf at the 18th attempt at Hamilton (5f, good; Wee Mary fourth) on Friday evening; escapes a penalty for that and Mohammed Tabti is able to claim his 5lb allowance here; equally effective at 6f-7f; obvious chance. |
11/4 |
|
1st 7 (2) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Versatile sort whose form since March comprises a win over 6f on AW and creditable third-place finishes over 5f/7f, latest at Musselburgh returned to turf; 0-17 in this sphere, however. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times over 5f on AW/turf last year; stays 6f perfectly well and can easily be excused his defeat on heavy ground in September but has fitness to prove after a seven-month break. |

7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Winless in 2025 but he is 3-6 over C&D and has settled matters quite emphatically on his last two starts; back up 3lb but weighted to have another race in him and it could well be this one. |
2/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when beating Colors Of Freedom in a classified event over C&D two weeks ago (reported to have bled from nose); has 8lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but he remains well treated on old form and all three wins have been on AW; respected. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
He has seven course wins to his name but 2025 was disappointing and he's rather been going through the motions on AW this year; not impossible the return to Bath will pique his interest. |
20/1 |
|
7th 7 (4) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Regressive 8yo who has been unable to exploit his reduced mark this winter; his penultimate C&D fourth wasn't a bad effort but others still make more appeal for win purposes. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (7) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

23-race maiden; has a chance on his C&D third in January 2025 but then off for 410 days; creditable 4.75l tenth of 12 at Kempton on his return to action this month; each-way chance. |
