9th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Down to a career-low mark but he's been well held on Tapeta in last three starts and his last win was at Bath in August 2023; opposable. |
25/1 |
|
6th 2 (8) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Down to a career-low mark and wasn't beaten far at Newcastle three runs back when 4lb higher; however, lesser performances have followed at Southwell, where he's run well in the past. |
10/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won twice as a 2yo for Ed Dunlop; 0-11 for current stable and he's been well short of his best so far this year; drawn widest on a rare 6f run. |

bumped start, raced in last, switched left and headway on outer from 2f out, led over 1f out, went clear inside final furlong, readily |

8st 12lb |
2-2 on AW, following his easy nursery win at Wolverhampton in October with a novice success at Newcastle six days later; two runs in Dubai this year, beaten around 2l in a conditions event three weeks ago; further progress possible but it will be needed. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Come to hand early in previous seasons but hasn't offered much in two runs back this time; now 11lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last summer, which shows how things have gone since; needs a major revival. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark. |
11/2 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Not seen in six months, but finished first and second in two starts over C&D as a 3yo, on each occasion when returning from an absence; 6lb below last winning mark; worth a second look. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
8st 5lb |
C&D winner; shaped quite nicely at Windsor on his seasonal return but he failed to build on it at Ffos Las 17 days ago; others appeal more for the win. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Went close second time out as a 3yo and won on his second start last season, which bodes well off the back of a pleasing Windsor comeback five weeks ago; needs considering at this lower level off a career-low mark. |
6/1 |
|
5th 16 (15) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Well held first time out in his three previous seasons; resumes on a winning mark but this race looks too competitive after his seven months off. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four-time AW winner, most recently at Lingfield (6f) in January off the same mark as today's; left the impression he's still in form on soft ground at Salisbury 23 days ago and has place claims back on the AW. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (11) |
9th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
All four wins have been on the AW but he does act on turf; beaten 4l when second of five at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) ten days ago but soft ground would be a slight concern. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistent gelding who's usually ridden from off the pace; no obvious reason why he won't go well once more, back over an easier 6f, returning from a short break. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
This is his first outing since last December but he's gone well fresh in the past and ran some good races in the second half of last year; his C&D form figures read 12772 and he can be in the shake-up if fully tuned up. |
10/1 |
|
5 (9) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Hasn't had many chances on AW but he looked good over C&D last spring and he picked up smartly to beat eight rivals at Chelmsford last month; this is a higher grade but a 4lb rise is fair enough and he still has a bit of potential. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Southwell Tapeta winner who is now 1lb lower than when successful at Haydock (5f, good) last summer, but probably needs a bit more than in his recent efforts now switched to Polytrack; stable triple-handed. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Spent last year in France; fine record here, including two wins in summer 2024 and a third off this mark in a blanket finish two weeks ago; the latter followed a Windsor win (1m2f, win); looks set for another big run. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Fine record here, with his four runs yielding two wins and a second for Adam West in 2024; followed that trainer to France last year but he was back to being an Epsom resident when close third on stable debut at Lingfield (AW) in April and secured first win for this yard at Windsor (also 1m2f, good to firm) one month ago; 4lb rise but he's won off higher; player. |
5/1 |
|
1st 10 (5) |
1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins for Adam West including one on the AW in France; encouraging return/stable debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April but didn't build on it at Newbury (1m, good) last month; others preferred. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have been over 7f/1m on good/good to firm at Brighton; has finished second over 7f/1m there in blinkers on last three runs; each-way chance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 7f/1m here; runner-up in his last two starts back at this venue including when beaten half a length by Dion Baker eight days ago; a 4lb pull plus Jack Callan's 3lb claim gives him every chance of reversing the form. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Straightforward three-time course winner who looked like making it four (first-time blinkers, switched from cheekpieces) until nabbed late by Aim For The Bull late last month; in off the same mark and his claims are obvious back down in trip. |

7th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Finds winning races difficult (2-25) but both wins have been over C&D, the latest in a similar contest (good to firm) last Tuesday; carries a 5lb penalty but looks sure to run his race. |
100/30 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win in 24 starts came in a 0-55 handicap over C&D (good) in May last year; beaten just under 2l into fourth of nine behind Washington Heir here (5f, good) three weeks ago, but may be better over this trip these days; a player despite his wide draw. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1-23 albeit the win came in a 0-55 handicap here (6f, good) just over a year ago; runner-up in last two starts at Lingfield (6f, AW) and Bath (5.7f, good to firm) and it may be that a bit further and good or faster ground suits him best, but he still holds strong claims in this company. |
