26th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Better strike-rate on turf than AW and beaten in a C&D classified on latest AW start; two midfield finishes on turf have followed, the latest on Monday, and others appeal more for win purposes. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Has been a grand servant to the yard with two of his nine wins coming over C&D; latest success came at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month and he should not be far away. |

Scored over C&D (fifth course victory) in July and not discredited with fourth of six in 5f classified event at Wolverhampton ten day ago; very much one to consider back here. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Has won 5f classified events at Wolverhampton and Lingfield on last two starts; a possible, but faces a stiffer task with a 5lb penalty in this handicap. |

1st 1 (5) |
25th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Had cheekpieces reapplied when gaining his fourth success on the AW in a classified event at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) eight days ago, winning by 2l; has strong claims in his bid to follow up. |

1st 4 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three of his four wins have been on AW, including one over C&D; didn't fare too badly in a similar event when fourth of seven at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and the return to AW could see him go close. |

27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time. |
5/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
21st Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Recorded his 11th AW win when narrowly beating Shalaa Asker over C&D in October; been absent since then but he's only 2lb higher than for that last win and he has won after a break in the past; dangerous on return. |

5th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often leads; dual C&D winner who has dropped a fair way in the weights since her Southwell win last December; recent efforts on turf and C&D haven't approached that level, though, so she has it to prove for now. |

Multiple turf/AW winner but well beaten both starts following five-month break, including over C&D last time; still to show soft ground is ideal and, although Oisin Murphy rides, others appeal more. |

27th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins on the AW this year, the latest at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) in May; not the easiest to predict, though, and has followed that success with two lesser efforts; not quite sure what to expect. |

1st Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Soft-ground 5f win last April on one of her two visits to this track; three wins in the meantime, latest on Wolverhampton AW (6f) this May; no show on latest start but plenty of 2023 turf form (acts on any going) gives her a big shout. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won seven in a row over 6f on AW at start of this year but has been safely held on all four turf starts (5f-6f) since returning from a break in July; sure to be suited by this return to Tapeta but will needs to be back in prime form to overcome combination of wide draw and current AW mark. |
20/1 |

6th 7 (2) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Won seven in a row over 6f on AW at start of this year but has returned from a break with three down-the-field turf runs, the latest here (6f, good to firm) eight days ago. |
33/1 |
|
11th 6 (12) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Rattled off a seven-timer on the AW earlier this year; rated lower on turf but he's failed to beat a rival at Chester (5f, good) in his last two starts and is now 1-15 on grass; opposable. |
