23rd Oct 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Bounced back from a spell in the doldrums with fair front-running fourth at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) last month; also effective over C&D and a bold bid is possible. |

27th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Only 2lb higher than for his Chester win in June; three heavy defeats have followed though and others look much safer; cheekpieces back today. |

28th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Campaigned at Chester this summer, twice disappointing since his June win; has a solid record (13122) in AW handicaps but the removal of usual cheekpieces presents a question mark. |

26th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 6 |

prominent, pressed leader going best 2f out, pushed along over 1f out, ridden and briefly led inside final furlong, no extra towards finish |
6/4 |

2nd 2 (6) |
18th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Well-bred filly who made a solid start in handicaps when a front-running third at Newcastle (6f; cheekpieces added) two weeks ago; should have more to offer after only four runs and she's in the mix for in-form yard. |
4/1 |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Both wins at Southwell on AW when trained by David Loughnane; beaten a neck in a classified over C&D (good to firm) in July but held in a couple of handicaps since; first-time cheekpieces now go on. |
16/1 |
|
10th 6 (9) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice here for David Loughnane (6f/7f); beaten a neck at Brighton (6f, good to firm) in July but she ran below that level at Windsor (6f, good) 40 days ago; returns to AW with an each-way chance. |
5/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual Tapeta winner (6f/7f) for another yard; suffered near misses the last twice, in Jersey and then in a classified race at Brighton (6f); unlikely to be far away. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 9 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Two of his three wins have been over C&D and he was second of eight here in a classified event in February; below his best in two starts since but he may be capable of bouncing back. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (2) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner who looked unlucky not to finish closer when having Stroxx and A Lady Forever behind here last weekend; not as good now and has a bit to find on these terms but does at least arrive in form. |

8st 11lb |
3lb lower than winning at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in November and was running well when last seen on turf last summer, including a win here (11.5f, good to firm); still capable over this shorter trip and shortlisted. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Well backed when winning a 5f handicap at Pontefract (soft) last October but hasn't matched that since, including beating only one home over C&D three weeks ago; back on the mark he defied at Pontefract but would need to see money for him again. |
16/1 |

7th 8 (2) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Turned things around with a win at Pontefract (5f, good) in October but he's been back in the doldrums in three subsequent runs; has plenty to prove again and needs another bolt from the blue. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Just did enough to win on soft ground at Windsor in April but his form has slumped since, and he was particularly disappointing when tried in blinkers (now removed) this month; arrives here with a point to prove. |

29th May 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner for Nigel Tinkler in November; off the mark on turf with a game effort at Windsor last month (Class 5; 6f, soft); slowly away and below par at Bath last week, but he's better than that and looks set to go well with Rossa Ryan back in the saddle. |

Gained breakthrough win over C&D in April off today's mark; has run creditably in defeat on turf since and should make his presence felt. |

AW winner who is 0-8 on turf but is threatening to put that right, having finished second at Brighton (1m/7f, good/good to firm) the last twice; this in-form contender has to enter calculations. |

18th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable third in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, tongue-tie added) on Boxing Day but he didn't match that form at that same track 16 days ago; record is now 0-8 and he needs more progress at this new trip. |
7/2 |
|
3 (5) |
2nd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Heavily backed on his nursery debut at Lingfield four weeks ago but he was disappointing in sixth, finishing behind a couple of today's rivals; better when tried in a tongue-tie here last week, keeping on for third having been tapped for speed in the straight; progress required to win. |
