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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his six wins have come over C&D and has dropped 4lb lower than when successful at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) in June, but he does seem at his best when dominating and that won't be easy with Night On Earth in the field. |

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. |
25/1 |
|
1 (7) |
27th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made the most of his first C&D attempt when winning cosily in April and although he hasn't gone on from that, or even equalled it, the ability is there to go well now back on the same mark; can't dismiss. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

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. |

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. |
11/2 |
|
4 (9) |
24th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Couple of fourth-place finishes since wearing cheekpieces; scored comfortably off this mark at Haydock last July and a return to that peak form would give him major claims. |

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. |
8/1 |

6th 5 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three wins (8.5f/9.5f) for Adam West; ran encouragingly (close third) in 1m2f AW contest at Lingfield on stable/seasonal debut and has possibilities provided he builds on that effort. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner (7f/1m) who disappointed in this race last year when chasing a Brighton hat-trick; bounced back when runner-up at Epsom next time but he 's not been in the same form since, including when fifth at Leicester on Monday; body of work at this venue says he can never be dismissed, however, and first-time blinkers might reignite the fire. |
7/2 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Disappointing end to last season but he's below last May's last winning mark and he reappeared with an encouraging fourth at Bath (1m, firm) last month; could build on that latest outing and he's not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Below his best when last seen but he started last season well, being beaten a neck on his reappearance before winning his next two starts (all at Brighton), and returns from a 176-day break off a mark 2lb below the latest success; may bounce back. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just one win from 22 starts but that came at Brighton (6f, good) last May and he was runner-up on AW at Lingfield last month; remains well handicapped on old form and he's in the mix back on turf. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Last season's campaign fizzled out but he made a fairly encouraging return in 6f Wolverhampton classified last month, keeping on steadily from the rear to finish in midfield; now 6lb lower than for last spring's win at Brighton (6f, good); a possible. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a chance on last season's best, notably a 6f win at Brighton (RPR 59); ended that campaign quietly though and he has a 176-day absence to overcome. |
