7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Three wins on the Flat; 0-8 as a jumper but was clear of the rest when a 7l runner-up at Stratford (2m, good) recently and something similar will see him on the scene. |
7/2 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner; returned from break with disappointing run four weeks ago but was close up in two handicap hurdles (both 2m, good) in this month last year and has good claims if back on song. |
9/2 |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

All three wins under rules on AW Flat; returns from a break and best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
His last four outings have seen him runner-up twice and pulled up twice; that makes him 2-14 over hurdles, with the two wins early in 2023 before he went handicapping; no problems with trip or ground but he does not appear the most reliable proposition on this switch to chasing. |

11st 1lb |
Only four ran at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November but he ran well behind an in-form rival; has each-way claims with Oliver Boyden again taking 10lb off his back. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Longstanding maiden yet to show anything for current yard (formerly Gordon Elliott); hard to fancy. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Lost form with Gordon Elliott; no revival yet in five outings for this yard; dropping in the handicap, but perhaps still too high. |

5th Aug 2023 Good To Yielding 1m 3f 180y |
10st 0lb |
Had been running well in defeat before getting off the mark at the 15th attempt in a Ballrinobe handicap last week; more needed to defy this mark back in handicap company though. |

1st 8 (3) |
24th Jul 2023 Yielding 1m 4f 126y |
9st 4lb |
14-race maiden; runner-up for the fifth time when pegged back late at Roscommon; previously third over a shorter trip at this venue; deserves to pick up a little race on the balance of form but could be vulnerable again. |
9/4 |
|
6 (10) |
11th Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 11lb |
A 14-race maiden but runner-up five times and looked all over the winner last time at Roscommon (1m3f) until collared late on; deserves a break. |

8th Aug 2022 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Bounced back with a creditable second in Ripon handicap (1m4f, good) last month but she added another major blip to her profile when tailed off at Thirsk last time; that took her record to 0-7 and others are more convincing. |

9st 7lb |
First past the post in a Lingfield maiden in March and was runner-up in two handicaps there (1m2f/1m4f) in June but she has a mixed record in seven starts and was tailed off at Lingfield last time; visor is now added on this return to Tapeta and she needs to bounce back again. |

9th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) in October and has run well in second the next twice (2m/1m7f, good to soft/good); he's fine at this trip (and on a variety of ground) and was effective here over hurdles; can make another bold bid. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
8th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Winning hurdler who has taken well to fences, beating Caithness by a head over C&D on debut last month before fair second off this 4lb higher mark at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); should go well again. |
11/4 |
