11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Went close in a C&D handicap last July when rated 8lb higher; he has run some fair races in defeat this summer and shouldn't be too far away. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Latest effort suggests he remains in form; still on a long losing sequence but looked an unlucky third, having been forced to switch, over C&D on penultimate start; possibilities off same mark. |

Winless since May 2024 but he took a step back in the right direction with a close third of seven in 5f Pontefract handicap eight days ago; very much one to consider off a reduced mark. |

Has work to do on Listed efforts and she also has ground to make up on Zoum Zoum on their C&D form 15 days ago; others much more likely. |

Inconsistent but she comfortably made all at 25-1 in a handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last month and ran as well as could be expected in a Listed race at Redcar last time (7f, soft; fifth of six); no surprise to see a bold bid now back in a handicap. |

13th Oct 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
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. |

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. |

14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Showed career-best form when winning at Lingfield (6f, soft) two starts ago and is also suited by this C&D but could be a shade vulnerable off a mark this high. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Consistent 5yo who came clear with the second when justifying market support last weekend at Lingfield (6f, soft); carries a 5lb penalty and Myla Coppins claimed 7lb on Saturday, so these terms are tougher; still a likely contender and any rain welcomed. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Modest strike-rate in the last 14 months but he is generally consistent and is versatile as regards surfaces; form figures off current mark read 222; could go one better, with Myla Coppins taking off 7lb. |

Not disgraced in a Listed race (found trouble) before finishing second of seven at Leicester in a 7f handicap that didn't really suit his hold-up tactics; this one might and he's worth a second look. |

12th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not much luck before finally off the mark last time at the expense of a subsequent winner; a 2lb rise is fair enough, especially with the promising Jack Doughty taking off 5lb, and he has a decent chance of following up. |
5/2 |

1st 2 (5) |
26th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Maiden (0-13); regularly placed (5f-7f); hasn't been at his best in three runs this year, although there were some mitigating circumstances at Salisbury (6f) last time; others preferred. |

Six-time AW winner; scored for the first time on turf in a 6f handicap three starts ago; fair sixth at the same venue on his next start, but in rear in the apprentice race won by today's rival Monastere ten days ago. |

Six-time AW winner scored for the first time on turf when winning over C&D last week; raised 9lb for that but a decent claimer takes off 7lb so that helps; not the best draw but still a big player. |

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. |

7th Nov 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

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. |
