31st Jan 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Losing spell goes back to 2022 and he's only 1-15 on AW; absent since last June; not the percentage call, unless the market suggests a big effort is on the cards. |

27th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
On a long losing run but he's well handicapped on last year's best efforts and was beaten just a neck at Leicester (7f, soft) last time on his second start back from a break; has won twice here (6f/7f, good to firm) and it's a course that often brings out the best in him; firmly in calculations. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Effective here (and on various ground); placed three times in a row this August/September (1m/7f) but only seventh of 18 in the Challenge Cup here (7f, soft) a fortnight ago and needs a bigger performance today. |

5th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Returned in July from ten months off and has run well in his last three starts, third of nine at Sandown (7f, soft) last time, but he has managed to win only one of his last 25 starts and is still 5lb higher; addition of a tongue-tie needs to make a difference. |

13th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Shaped well on reappearance (found trouble) and bang there in his subsequent races, over 1m at Newmarket and C&D 13 days ago (first-time cheekpieces); hard to offer any excuses on either occasion and, now 3-31, he's looking a hard horse to catch right. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Regular participant in major handicaps; best effort this season when fifth in the Victoria Cup over C&D; however, he's thoroughly exposed and has a poor record (form figures 000) in this contest. |
25/1 |

9th 5 (3) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Has form figures of 822 in this contest; however, faces a harder task off current mark (5lb higher than 12 months ago) and it's unlikely he's getting better now aged seven. |

27th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
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. |

Three wins in a busy campaign this year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; another solid effort when second of 13 in a Racing League handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago and although up another 3lb, still makes the shortlist. |

28th Aug 2022 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice in August 2021, latterly over 7f on fast ground; well short of his best in two runs this season but he is edging back down the weights and a revival wouuldn't be out of the question. |
