1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three C&D wins, the latest in September off a 2lb lower mark; that race panned out perfectly though and latest Wolverhampton effort suggests he is vulnerable. |

11th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins this season, the latest a comfortable success at Newcastle (for today's apprentice) 16 days ago; enjoyed a clear run there while a few of those in behind got in the way of each other but a 2lb rise is still fair enough; more appealing than many. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
8/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |
5/2 |

3rd 5 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over 7f here of late and looked a bit unlucky not to make it four last Friday, when having Way To Dubai just behind; the drop to 6f shouldn't hurt and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won two 6f handicaps at Newcastle last October but ended his 2025 campaign with a poor run and it a similar story on his seasonal return in May; absent since and likely vulnerable. |
20/1 |
|
10th 7 (7) |
1st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Recorded back-to-back C&D wins last October (the second off 3lb lower) but the wheels came off in his hat-trick bid in November; back from 161 days off with a point to prove. |
16/1 |
|
8 (6) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Comes here chasing a C&D hat-trick after two narrow wins last month; still feasibly weighted up 3lb and should be in the thick of the action. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well backed when winning a C&D handicap in July; performed with credit in a much stronger race here two weeks ago; 1lb lower today and she has a good chance back down into a Class 6. |
11/2 |
|
5th 13 (1) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Back to form with a bang when winning a C&D handicap 26 days ago; that was a lowly Class 6 event though and a 7lb rise against deeper opposition looks beyond her. |
14/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Course winner (6f/7f); not at her best in three runs this year but dropping down the weights and this is an ease in grade; has run well over C&D before but she may need more of a test. |

4th 3 (7) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Went close on his seasonal return at Pontefract in June (6f, good to firm); backwards steps since then and losing run looks set to continue. |

9th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

It's now 20 starts since his last success and he arrives out of sorts, sixth in 6f Ayr handicap 29 days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Best efforts have all come on Tapeta and he's struggled in both runs this season, having regressed last year; not easy to make a case for him. |
25/1 |
|
11th 6 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Just one win from his 20 starts but that came over C&D, and Tapeta brings out the best in him; not disgraced on last month's reappearance at Bath and he's down to a handy mark; of interest now back here. |
16/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Looks interesting on his second at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) in November but he took backward steps on final two runs last year; overall record is now 1-19 and he's yet to be placed in seven runs on turf; has work to do on return. |

By no means a frequent winner (3-37) but continued his good run of form with another placed effort at Newcastle (7f; fine at 1m). |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Not a frequent winner (3-36) but running well on turf lately and has been placed in his last four visits here; one for the shortlist. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Back to form when winning at Redcar in June (7f, good) and finished a sound third off 6lb higher at Beverley last time (7.5f, good to firm); down 1lb; a possible. |

4th 9 (9) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Southwell 7f win; close fourth over 7f here last December; flashed home late, having had no luck in running, over C&D (seventh of 13) recently; Robert Havlin booked in this bid to get closer to Barleybrown, Abu Royal and co. |
13/2 |

7th 11 (6) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Pounced late at Southwell (7f; from 2lb lower) last November and close up (fourth) behind Little Ted over 7f here the following month; freshened up since fair third at Southwell (first try at 1m) in January; market can guide. |

9th 4 (11) |
2nd May 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Veteran winner of 11 races here, mostly over this trip; hasn't got his nose in front for 15 months but was placed over C&D when just 1lb lower earlier in the year; not ruled out. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Well treated on old form but last win was two years ago and she's not posed a threat in her three runs this season; now drops back into a Class 6 event but she needs to find some extra spark. |
12/1 |

7th 7 (3) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
On a losing run but handicapped accordingly and she ran a creditable race when fourth at Wetherby last month (7f, good to firm); better could be forthcoming. |
