18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Five wins at Southwell but didn't run much of a race there last time and it's a long time since he was successful on turf; others appeal more. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time course winner at 7f and 6f who has run well at Doncaster on his last two starts, most recently when fourth (beaten a length) 19 days ago; just 1lb higher than his win here in February and has claims. |
11/2 |

16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's a prolific winner who bounced back with a fair fifth over C&D (good) three weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and last success was off a similar mark. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Placed five tims this season but his losing run stretches back over two years and he wasn't at his best at Redcar when last seen eight weeks ago; on a dangerous mark but others appeal more for win purposes. |
13/2 |

7th 5 (4) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 6 |

Latest of his three wins came at Beverley (8.5f, soft) over two years ago but he's been placed on five occasions this year; below his best at Ayr (7f, good) 16 days ago and he now goes back up to 1m with the headgear removed. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Last eight starts in classifieds and he didn't always get the breaks when third over C&D 12 days ago; that was one of his better recent efforts and he's firmly in calculations. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive 8yo; running respectably at this level in 2026 but 2l behind Woodrafff at Newcastle last week; never threatened over 1m2f on Thursday; easy enough to look elsewhere. |
8/1 |
|
6th 10 (4) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached. |

20th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Sole win was in an Irish maiden 16 months ago but he's very well treated on his best form and was back on track with a good third at Leicester (7f, good to soft) ten days ago; same mark now back down in grade; in the mix. |

10th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

in touch with leaders, pushed along over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, briefly went second inside final 110yds, weakened towards finish, just held third |

10th 2 (12) |
25th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Won 7f maiden in Ireland as 3yo; modest form in 7f and 1m handicaps for both yards in Britain, despite dropping down the weights; switches to AW under a cloud but from an excellent family and his dam won her only AW start so not impossible he will improve; visor refitted. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Difficult to win with in recent years, now 7lb lower than when last successful at Southwell (1m) in August 2024; met trouble when sixth (beaten over 4l) here on penultimate start, but latest Leicester effort was less encouraging. |

7th 9 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |

It's now 17 outings since his last success but he arrives on the back of a respectable sixth of 11 in 1m Newcastle handicap last month; easing in the weights and no forlorn hope. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

4lb higher than for his latest determined success at Southwell (6f; form looks solid) but that still leaves him extremely well treated on his 2023 best; the one to beat. |
7/4 |

1st 6 (1) |
5th Feb 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just two Tapeta runs, winning the latest at Newcastle (7f) last January; treading water for much of 2023 but down in the weights and his recent second at Chelmsford (7f; short-priced favourite) was a lot better; can be effective back at 6f but this is a quick return for one who regularly has breaks between races. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Often slowly away, as when winning over C&D last February; three 6f runs since October have all been creditable and the step back up in trip could give him a lift. |

A bit underwhelming at Hamilton a fortnight ago but went there in good form, having won at Musselburgh (1m, good) previously; has won over C&D on soft ground and can be a contender if leaving latest run behind. |

6th 3 (6) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |

This is his time of year and, after a close second over C&D (good) last month, he went one better at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Tuesday; fully at home on slow ground and firmly in calculations under a 4lb penalty. |

Has often started slowly but he's taken things to the next level the past twice, refusing to jump away either time; is quite capable off this mark if in the mood but comes with obvious risks attached. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Comes with major risks attached as he was badly out of form on turf last month and refused to race at Redcar last week, while he's untested beyond about 1m; however, his last two wins have come here and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; not ruled out now back on this track. |

29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

3-38 under rules and stuck on a losing run; was third over 1m at Beverley five days ago but he pulled himself into a clear lead; risky from a win perspective. |

3rd 9 (2) |
24th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Dry since a C&D win two years ago and has been turned over as favourite no fewer than seven times in the interim, latterly behind Sunny Orange ten days ago; that race didn't pan out his way from a wide stall but there can only be so many excuses. |
