27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Retains plenty of vitality despite his advancing years; however, form dipped last time when bidding for a Chelmsford double; gained the most recent win in a lower grade. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Shaped well, amid traffic issues, over 6f at Kempton on reappearance; has gained most wins over 7f, including twice at Wolverhampton; interesting back up in trip with Toby Moore taking off a handy 7lb. |

14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
6f winner but majority of his wins at 7f; went back-to-back at Chepstow in May/June; not in same form since and returns to AW after a break with his mark still looking tricky; drop back down in trip also a slight query. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |
33/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |
25/1 |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
0-15; third of seven over C&D on his penultimate start; has dropped 11lb this calendar year and has a chance from this mark on several pieces of form in that period; below par at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) latest; jockey has been in the first four in 22-31 rides for this trainer (five seasons). |
10/1 |

8th 2 (10) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
0-14; third of seven in an amateur riders' event at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) last month, but still to fully convince he wants this sort of trip; Tapeta debut. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-13; down the field at Lingfield (7f, good) 17 days ago but he now returns to AW off a mark 8lb lower than when second of eight here over 7f in October; stamina for this far is a question mark but his pedigree suggests it's worth exploring (dam 1m2f/15.5f winner). |

Conditions to suit and he is back to the same mark off which he beat Captain Parma here in October; not at his best at Southwell last week but he is the type to bounce back quickly. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Turf maiden winner who scored in fine style in a handicap at Newcastle (7f, AW) last October; on that evidence this 7lb higher mark isn't necessarily beyond him, but he needs to improve upon what he produced on his last two outings in November and December. |
16/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Two wins this year, the latest at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month, while he ran better than it looked when fifth of 11 back there 19 days later (wide trip); runner-up in both starts over this distance on Tapeta elsewhere and should go well. |

10th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf. |

3rd 1 (9) |
1st Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Ran respectably at Chester returned to turf last time; he's 0-8 this year but remains favourably treated, being 6lb below last winning mark; three-time C&D scorer. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Prominent racer who won four times at around a mile between January and April; has run some solid races in defeat since, including over 7f at Southwell on her penultimate start, but suspicion she'll prove vulnerable for win purposes. |

Four wins at around 1m on the AW including one over C&D in January; having dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than when last successful, she ran well to finished third of nine at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; can't be discounted. |

17th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Went close over C&D last month and was a fair fourth at Southwell (first-time cheekpieces) last time; hard to rule out a good run with visor now tried but he's not easy to predict and losing run is mounting up. |
8/1 |

4th 8 (3) |
7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Patchy form since winning off 6lb higher at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last May and has a bit to find with Many A Star and Ormolulu on last month's C&D running; application of cheekpieces needs to make a difference. |
