1st Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Course regular who has dropped 1lb lower than when making all over C&D (good) in April; far from disgraced when fourth of 12 back here (good) last month; has form on a soft surface; shortlisted. |
10/1 |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dominated from the front over C&D (good) off today's mark for Stan Moore in April but not quite in that same form on any of three starts for current stable; others have more pressing claims. |

Dual C&D winner (same race in April the past two seasons), both under aggressive rides; again didn't look to see out 1m2f last time but he'd lost his way prior to that anyway. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
His form can be up and down and he failed to shine at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last time; however, prior to that he was a promising fourth on his reappearance there (7f, AW), and he won off this mark at Chepstow (7f, good) last May; capable if bouncing back to form. |

9st 3lb |
Dual course winner (7f/8.6f) who was returning from six months off when beaten 2l into fourth of eight behind Bad Habits over here 17 days ago; could fare better in returning blinkers this time. |
10/1 |

4th 1 (5) |

Two course wins, including when running on well over this trip (Class 6 classified; 9-4 favourite) last March; now rated 1lb lower than when fourth over C&D (25-1) last October; market should guide on seasonal return. |

8st 9lb |
Pulled hard and didn't see it out on his hurdling debut last month; two wins for Roger Teal came in the spring but it's hard to find many other positives on this Tapeta debut in a first-time tongue-tie. |
25/1 |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fair performer at his best in 23-race Flat career (most for Roger Teal; two runs for this yard) which includes two 1m wins; hooded on latest outing and today; probably best watched on hurdles debut. |
20/1 |

Never landed a blow at Lingfield (1m2f) on stable/seasonal debut but may fare better with that outing under his belt; has gained both turf wins over 1m and produced his best AW effort over C&D; hood applied. |

9st 10lb |
Can lead; creditable effort on second start for yard when runner-up at Pontefract (1m2f, good) in June but he's had problems at the stalls otherwise this year and refused to enter them in July; capable but risky. |

Two wins last year, the latter in runaway fashion over 1m4f here in November (6lb higher today); shot up the weights and found it tough since but he is creeping back down again; unraced on Flat beyond 1m4f. |

Went close several times on turf/AW when trained in Ireland but has been well beaten in all three starts for this trainer; on a handy mark but no hint yet that he's about to take advantage. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Some fair efforts on AW during the winter and he hit the frame plenty of times on turf last year; hard to rule out a good run after a short break but he's not won since 2023 and others are preferred. |

Dual winner here on the AW over 1m; bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when third of nine here on the AW over 7f last time but he could do without the rain on this switch back to turf (well beaten in three starts on soft). |

3rd 7 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins have been gained over 1m at this track; last success was off 8lb higher last January but he's been generally disappointing since and was beaten 7l at Kempton (1m) three weeks ago; has a change of headgear but he looks opposable back in trip. |
