3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won seven in a row over 6f on AW at start of this year but has been safely held on all four turf starts (5f-6f) since returning from a break in July; sure to be suited by this return to Tapeta but will needs to be back in prime form to overcome combination of wide draw and current AW mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won seven in a row over 6f on AW at start of this year but has returned from a break with three down-the-field turf runs, the latest here (6f, good to firm) eight days ago. |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Rattled off a seven-timer on the AW earlier this year; rated lower on turf but he's failed to beat a rival at Chester (5f, good) in his last two starts and is now 1-15 on grass; opposable. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Not beaten far when fourth of five in recent 5f race won by Savannah Smiles (heavy ground) but is effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has very modest 1-33 strike-rate. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has the ability to win a race of this nature but can flatter to deceive and boasts a strike-rate of just one win from 32 starts; good effort at Wolverhampton six weeks ago but perhaps better on Tapeta nowadays. |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Still 8lb higher than when winning over C&D in September, but narrow defeats off similar marks to this in his last two outings suggest he is capable of playing a part. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
A string of good runs at Brighton before collecting by 3l over C&D in a race that panned out to perfection; bled from the nose when disappointing at Brighton last time but he's 7lb higher than for his penultimate run and could have competition for the lead back on AW. |

2nd Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last month and she would surely have gone close to following up at Newcastle 13 days ago granted a clearer passage, motoring home having had to sit and suffer at a crucial stage of the race; handles soft ground and she's a key player. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Four AW wins (all at Wolverhampton) to her name; arrives on the back of a good win at Ayr (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and should be fine at this track; one to consider under her penalty. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Stable stalwart with 13 wins; not the force of old and contests his first classified; can't discount but likely to find one or two too good. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
11st 0lb |
Both wins on turf have been on ground slower than good and his last four wins have been on the AW; beat only one rival home at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago and now drops back in trip with promising amateur Henry Callan taking over in the saddle; visor back on. |

Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |

Three course wins over 5f/6f; just 2lb above her last winning mark and softening ground wouldn't be a problem, but she needs to do better than in her last two starts. |
8/1 |

9th 1 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well backed and took advantage of a sliding mark when winning an uncompetitive small-field handicap off 3lb lower at Lingfield (turf) in June; always liked it here but this mark is as high as she's ever won off, so there's little margin for error. |
8/1 |

Three-time winner over 5f/6f here; finished 2l behind stablemate So Smart over C&D eight days ago and meets him on the same terms, but she lost ground at the start when the blindfold was removed late so she may get closer. |

9st 2lb |
Wins have all come after a recent outing and he's having just a second ever run on turf, in a first-time tongue-tie; it's therefore hard to say that everything looks in place for a big run, for a yard also responsible for Honour Your Dreams. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Goes well here and has twice won over C&D; 2lb lower than his last winning mark and although two of his last three starts have been below par, they were at Chelmsford; likely contender back here. |

29th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Five-time AW winner over 6f, most recently at Kempton in October off today's mark; unfortunate not to finish closer there ten days ago but this drop back in trip may not prove ideal. |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seemingly no longer relishes the fast surfaces of 2023's peak win and placed form, judged on June's last of ten at Wetherby (5.5f), and balance of this year's form limits her appeal anyway; cheekpieces return. |

6f turf win two years ago remains her only success from 21 starts; not at her best in two AW runs earlier in the year and no better back on turf at Ripon a fortnight ago; down in weights but risky. |

3lb lower than when gaining her sole success in 22 starts at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in January, but not matched that form since and she didn't run very well in two previous goes on good to firm ground. |

Sole win in 7f Lingfield handicap in early 2023; minor form for this yard and although there was the glimmer of a revival over C&D on Boxing Day it wasn't enough of one to fancy him for win purposes. |
