1st Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Best form of the season when narrow winner over C&D last time (good to firm; Terries Royale half a length back in third); not certain to confirm that form. |

Both wins on the AW, most recently over 1m at Newcastle in January, but rarely ventures on to turf now and he never showed over this trip at Yarmouth in April. |

Lost out late in a 1m Tapeta handicap for William Haggas last January but she hasn't achieved much in two starts for this yard following nearly a year off the track; one to watch for now. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably. |
7/1 |

6th 10 (9) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been at Newcastle and he produced a strong finish to go close over 7f here last Thursday; only 1lb higher on this step back up in trip and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |

2nd 9 (6) |
12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Two Class 6 wins here (including this trip) in late 2025 but recent efforts no more than respectable, including at Wolverhampton on Monday. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
9-96; just failed to reel in Wyvern over 7f here in December but laboured since; weakened, well down the field at Ripon (1m, good; beaten 17l) latest; is fairly treated but the chances are that age is beginning to catch up with him. |
10/1 |

12th 5 (5) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has three course wins over 1m2f; hasn't figured at Redcar or Ayr since returning to turf last month; best watched. |

6th 7 (8) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Into the veteran stage but on a competitive mark on form as recent as December; recent Redcar run should have sharpened him up but others may have his measure for win purposes. |

On a long losing run; good third over 7f at Chepstow (good) a month ago but hasn't run quite as well on his two outings since. |

Course scorer but he arrives below par, only sixth of nine to Odd Socks Havana in 1m handicap at Newcastle 31 days ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

26th Apr 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Gets away with this trip but it's easy to argue 7f suits ideally; pulled hard on heavy ground last time and is better than that but he'd been turned over as favourite three times on the spin previously and there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark. |

All seven wins have been on Tapeta, including four over C&D; very well treated on his best form last winter but he's been out of sorts in last eight runs and needs a major revival back from four months off. |

Won this race in 2022 and finished second in it last year; much lower rated this time around and last month's third over C&D was more encouraging; should have a part to play. |

Three-time C&D winner including this race off 5lb higher two years ago; losing run up to 15 but could go well if bouncing back to his best form in the returning cheekpieces. |

26th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Done the bulk of his winning over 6f, and hasn't tasted success since March 2021 (Chelmsford); gone off the boil since posting back-to-back third place finishes (over 7f) in mid-February; headgear is yet to deliver. |
13/2 |

6th 8 (2) |
11th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
All ten wins (including one here) have come over 5f-7f; losing run is up to 20 and his stamina for this far remains unproven; different headgear combination will need to make a big difference. |
15/2 |
|
9th 12 (12) |
5th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Placed on consecutive 7f Tapeta starts last month and didn't run badly over 6f here a week ago but this move back up to 1m is not sure to suit and it's now over three years since his last win; swaps blinkers for first-time visor; tongue-tie also fitted for first time. |
