26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Running well in defeat in recent months, including over C&D; should remain competitive but this is a step back up in class. |

Has seven wins on turf and is edging closer to another judged on his recent seconds at Bath and Nottingham; should go close. |

9st 10lb |
Made a good return to turf when narrowly denied over 5f at Bath (good) 13 days ago; nudged back up 3lb but remains 1lb below the mark he defied on AW last autumn; needs considering. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Confirmed trailblazer who has won 13 races in his career (six on AW), but has finished out of the frame in all six starts over C&D; blinkers go on for the first time on his 86th start; others preferred. |

23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
One of the faster sprinters in training and he belatedly got off the mark for the year with a front-running win at Wolverhampton 17 days ago; 6lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out. |

Trailblazing sprinter who got no peace up front when beaten favourite in a Racing League handicap last time; ran a stormer the time before at Haydock and should give it a good shot from stall 3; has form here. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Hit and miss but it was career win number nine when narrowly scoring at Carlisle 17 days ago (5f, good), coming from off the pace; 4lb higher here. |

1st 10 (8) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Hindered by traffic issues on his return to turf from AW but latest effort is harder to forgive; otherwise remains well treated on best form, albeit now goes back up in grade. |

8th 2 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner off this mark last August (good); also won at Newcastle in February; needs to bounce back after two below-par runs. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
6f wins at Newcastle and Lingfield this winter; not at his best at Newcastle (5f; tried in a visor) last month and the return of his usual cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (9) |
15th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
6f win here in November; back on the scoresheet when landing a 6f handicap at Lingfied four weeks ago; closely matched with a few of these on a C&D run on January 13; new headgear tried today. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
17th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
6f win at Newcastle off this mark in November; not beaten far over 5f back at Newcastle on Tuesday; ability to feature and Billy Loughnane a positive booking for the yard (four wins and five placed runners from 15 rides). |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Cracking 8yo who has won two Polytrack races in every season for the last five years; however, he finished behind Spendmore Lane and Ancient State at Lingfield recently and the return to Tapeta looks a negative. |
20/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
28th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prolific C&D winner, most recently when making all 54 days ago; a 3lb rise won't stop him if in the same form and he may not have to work too hard to lead; major player. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Got the better of the battle for the early lead when beating Beaumadier and Gogo Yubari here on January 14 and he would have strong claims if reproducing that form; he hasn't managed it in two subsequent starts but a full revival would be no surprise. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Has run well fresh in the past but is knocking on and may need this after eight months off; doesn't often go beyond 5f these days and is drawn low, so has a bit to overcome. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dangerous when he can get to the front early as was the case when a close third last week at Lingfield (AW); worrying that he's been well held in three previous runs here. |
7/2 |
|
2 (1) |
23rd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Often makes the running, but was held up from his wide draw when disappointing over C&D 15 days ago; back off the same mark as when dead-heating here in April and drawn well if reverting to positive tactics; stable also runs Gogo Yubari. |
9/2 |
