17th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Six wins (latest in February) from 24 AW starts but 0-10 on turf; Newmarket 15 days ago saw first turf race since 2023 and he came last of eight. |

8th 8 (1) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Six wins from his 24 AW starts, the latest in February, but 0-9 on turf and he was last seen in this sphere in 2023; fit from AW action (well beaten in hot race last time) but other options seem more likely. |

8st 11lb |
Six wins from his 23 AW starts, the latest at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; has continued in good form when fourth at Lingfield and Kempton on last two starts, but he may again be vulnerable today. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 7yo who was a well-beaten 66-1 shot over C&D (good) last month and is effectively only 2lb lower today. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Has struggled since joining this stable, including when briefly tried over fences and in cheekpieces, but offered some hope here on heavy ground in April (2m1f); has come a long way down in the weights but returns from a break with enough to prove. |

19th Apr 2025 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Consistent and capable under both codes when with Alan King; has yet to reach the frame on seven starts for this stable, trying fences the last time; has a lot to prove right now. |

12th Jul 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
All three wins came on Polytrack last year, including over C&D in August, and she bounced right back to form when beaten a head by an unexposed 3yo at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; only 1lb higher and respected. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
19th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Three wins on Polytrack (1m2f-1m3f) last year but she's been well held on AW in her last two runs, the latest at Lingfield in April; drops back in grade off 2lb lower than for last win but she needs a major revival back on Tapeta. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Now 10lb below his last winning mark (here, 9.5f); few positives to take from his efforts this year, beaten in excess of 9l (seventh of ten; 25-1) over 7f here latest; difficult to envisage a revival. |

All five wins have been at this track (9.4f) but losing spell goes back to April 2022 and he's been quiet in his three runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he's 0-8 at this trip and others are more convincing. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Started off for Rebecca Menzies with two poor AW runs in February/March (started very slowly both times) but his sixth of 15 over hurdles at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) this month gives him something to build on here. |
14/1 |

15th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Five-time winner on Tapeta but he's been out of sorts on AW in two runs for new yard this year; still unexposed over hurdles but his last run in this sphere was in December 2021 and it is not hard to have reservations; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |

8th Mar 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |

Has won over hurdles for current yard; never landed a blow at Wolverhampton (1m4f; first Flat start since 2021) last month but shaped as if this extra distance may help. |
25/1 |

13th Feb 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Not seen on the Flat since 1m2f turf win for Ralph Beckett in September 2021 and was well beaten on only previous AW start; in fairly good form over hurdles in the autumn but probably best watched here. |

1st Feb 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |

Two Flat wins for Ralph Beckett in the second half of 2021; successful over hurdles for this yard last May; not at his best in that sphere when last seen in December; career best required to take this. |

Beaten half a length or less in his last two starts at Newmarket (1m2f/1m4f); has winning form on Tapeta (at Wolverhampton) and is 8lb lower than when last on the AW, but losing run up to 14; needs a bit more. |

Has won four middle-distance handicaps and latest was off 9lb higher at Chester (1m4f, good) last June; 0-13 since but he bounced back with a close call over 1m2f here last Friday and is a big player if he can repeat that form (due to be 2lb higher in future). |

Has only made the track four times for this yard since his last start for Richard Hannon in September 2021, but despite winning over hurdles on the first occasion his three subsequent outings on the Flat (at Wolverhampton) have been moderate; stable also runs Baileys Warrior. |

Two good runs in Class 6 company at Chepstow in the summer, getting off the mark at the 14th attempt in August; bled from the nose when disappointing at that track in September; sold for 5,000gns in November and just the type that Mick Appleby will find races for; betting instructive. |

9st 11lb |
Hard to recommend on recent efforts, but has dropped 7lb lower than when gaining his second C&D success back in February; worth a second look with a visor given a try, especially if attracting support. |

26th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

This year's win was on Polytrack at Kempton (1m4f) in February and he's 2lb lower today, having gone off the boil in his two runs this summer; has never won beyond 1m4f and he last ran on ground softer than good in 2021. |
