28th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
No Nay Never filly whose 6f 2yo form for James Horton featured two wins, including Carlisle handicap on final outing; sold for 45,000gns last month; bred to stay this new trip; heed the market signals on debut for new connections. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (6) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark on her second start at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in June and a creditable fourth of 12 on nursery debut at York (6f, good to soft) on her penultimate outing; didn't enjoy a clear run when fifth of seven at Leicester (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago and each-way claims granted a smoother trip this time. |
7/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
23rd Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has a striking pedigree but she's not progressed in her four runs so far and was a never-dangerous fourth in a York nursery (6f, good to soft) last month; kept on well in that race but she was beaten 4l and needs to find more here. |

2nd 2 (1) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stepped up from his debut when winning a Ripon novice (5f, good to firm) in June, but held in all three starts since including two nurseries; didn't stay 7f last time, but even if this trip may suit him better he still needs to resume his progress; soft ground remains a question mark; stable runs four. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (5) |
12th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Won his novice over 5f and hasn't improved for 6f the last twice, latterly finishing 5l off the principals on his nursery debut at York (good to soft); getting back on fast ground may help but it's hard to call him well handicapped and 7f is a grey area. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw. |
6/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
It's a long time since he won but he was a close third over C&D (good to soft) last September and was an encouraging sixth of 18 on reappearance at Thirsk (6f, good); refitted with cheekpieces (which are combined with his tongue-tie) for the first time since a win at Nottingham in autumn 2023; non-runner here on Sunday with a vet's certificate. |

30th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a 6f nursery at Lingfield (good to firm) off 5lb lower; no progress since and she needs the step up to 7f to give her a lift. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
13th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Looked one to keep onside when making a successful nursery debut at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in July, but not matched that form in either start off this mark (both in cheekpieces) since; needs to bounce back and perhaps fast ground suits her better. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 (3) |
1st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Yard won two of the last three runnings of this; patiently ridden from a wide stall when winning off 6lb lower at Lingfield in July (6f, good to firm) but was some way below that level on to soft ground in first-time cheekpieces (retained) latest, which gives her something to prove. |

9st 7lb |
Won a 5f maiden at Ayr in May (visored); series of creditable runs in nurseries since a gelding operation; left behind by the first two in a better race at Nottingham 17 days ago but still ran to form; stable also responsible for Petra Celera. |

9st 6lb |
Beat three rivals in an Ayr maiden (5f, good; first-time visor) in May, but although not disgraced he hasn't really built on it in four nurseries in the meantime; has run well on good to soft, but anything softer would be a concern; no headgear today. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual turf winner, latest success over C&D last October (good to soft); fair second over 1m at Ripon last time; ideally needs give in the ground. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Scored off this mark at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last October; kept on well on his last two starts at Beverley over 8.5f suggesting that a step back up in trip may be beneficial. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Redcar win (1m2f, good to soft) in October but he's finished down the field in all four subsequent runs; wasn't beaten far over C&D 11 days ago but he's an infrequent winner and others are more persuasive. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner who bounced right back to form when second of ten back here eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that but stall 13 is far from ideal. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three Tapeta wins, including C&D; recent form figures not inspiring but she didn't run too badly when sixth of 14 over C&D on her first run back from wind surgery and an excuse emerged last time (reportedly lost action). |
18/1 |
|
9th 10 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Three Tapeta wins at other venues; finished behind Twilight Diamond at Southwell 24 days ago (first run after a wind operation); may get closer this time. |

Inconsistent but he ran one of his good races when a close third at Nottingham 19 days ago (6f, good to soft); fully effective over C&D; not ruled out for a stable that also run Nordic Glory. |

Turf (good to firm) and AW winner over 6f; best turf RPR came on good to soft but other form on slow ground makes that look an anomaly; plenty to prove based on last three starts. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times last season, the most recent coming at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) in July; respectable third over this C&D on his return in April and kept on for fifth of 11 at Redcar (6f, good) 16 days ago; contender if things drop right. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |

Has been handicapping since August and shown her best form over 5f on this track, just losing out in October and making all last month; not as convincing over 6f so far, however. |

Returned to form when going close on Tapeta debut over 5f here last month and went one better here (5f) last week when making all; unproven at 6f but she wasn't stopping the last twice and is respected under a 6lb penalty. |
