3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer with 2-6 strike-rate over hurdles; gave good account when third of eight at Kempton (2m, good) last month and is probably still on a workable mark but has something to prove on the much slower ground here. |
3/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat racer who was 2-3 in novice/maiden hurdles for Paul Nicholls in the spring; tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap hurdle debut and his tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but, nevertheless, he's still very unexposed over jumps. |
5/2 |

1st 1 |
14th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Flat handicaps at about 1m1f (AW) and 1m4f (good; RPR 83) and he's found a new calling over hurdles judged by the way he won at Chepstow (dropped to 2m, good) recently; he shouldn't have a problem with this sharp 2m and is the one to beat. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has been placed a few times and drops to this level for the first time, but ran poorly on his reappearance at Chester (7.7f, good) in June and has been off another 73 days since; blinkers need to make a difference if he is to make it 16th-time lucky. |

23rd Nov 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Comparatively exposed, with record only 1-14, and has edged up the weights; however, he's in good form having gone close in three of his last four outings, latest at Chelmsford (1m2f); could go well again. |
9/1 |

2nd 1 (7) |
11th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

in rear, headway against far rail from over 1f out, went second inside final furlong, kept on |
11/4 |

4th 8 (4) |
27th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Consistent since blinkers went on and will be 3lb higher from tomorrow for last Monday's Kempton near-miss (one of three to come away despite edging left); can miss the break and pull hard but could well get this run to suit, so needs considering. |

13th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won Chepstow nursery (1m, good) in September but has not seen out any of her races since, tailed off at Southwell (visored) when last seen in December; needs to settle better in a first-time hood. |
20/1 |

5th 6 (2) |
27th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Possible that softening ground didn't suit at a short price last time (hung both ways on similar going at Ffos Las in the summer); is exposed now but should fare better. |

26th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Respectable efforts on last two starts, finishing third at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) then fourth of 14 over this C&D (good to firm); 0-11 on turf but has an each-way shout. |
7/1 |
|
4th 5 (11) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual AW winner (1m) but he's 0-10 on turf; on reduced mark and was fair third at Wolverhampton (9.4f) last month but he's struggled in his last five turf runs and has something to prove back in this sphere. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Two AW wins for Marco Botti, the second over 1m at Kempton in January 2025; has rather lost his form since, and after being sold for 26,000gns in January last year, was re-sold to current connections for just 1,000gns in November; needs to step up on recent efforts. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best with his emphatic win at Carlisle (1m, good) in August but he's not easy to predict and was last of nine at Thirsk last time; still unexposed on AW and has won at this track but he needs to bounce again on this return to Tapeta. |
16/1 |
|
9th 7 (7) |
30th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Triple winner at up to 1m2f; arrives on the back of a career-best effort, when the ready winner of a 0-55 handicap at Carlisle (1m, good) recently; has been below par next time after his two previous successes but he's a player again after a 5lb rise, provided he can back up his win. |
4/1 |
|
6 (7) |
5th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
Raced freely and looked to go hard enough in front when below market expectations last time; drops back from 1m2f and will likely have plenty of use made of him again. |

Won a 1m Brighton maiden in October 2023 (good to firm); mixed form at up to 1m2f this term; on a good mark; each-way chance. |

11th Nov 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Not the only runner who posted duck eggs the last twice and needs to rebound; inconsistent since maiden win last autumn but best form gives her a fighting chance off current mark. |
