22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Just one win from 22 starts but that came at Brighton (6f, good) last May and he was runner-up on AW at Lingfield last month; remains well handicapped on old form and he's in the mix back on turf. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Last season's campaign fizzled out but he made a fairly encouraging return in 6f Wolverhampton classified last month, keeping on steadily from the rear to finish in midfield; now 6lb lower than for last spring's win at Brighton (6f, good); a possible. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
24th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a chance on last season's best, notably a 6f win at Brighton (RPR 59); ended that campaign quietly though and he has a 176-day absence to overcome. |

22nd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Did well last term, winning four times; went close at Beverley on penultimate start and paid for racing freely in cheekpieces a few days later; runs without the headgear this time and could go well. |
13/2 |
|
5th 10 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 15y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Did well last term, winning four times; back in top form, beaten only narrowly, at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on Monday with reappearance under his belt; may remain competitive off same mark, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Went up 28lb for four wins last season, over 5f/6f on good/good to soft; showed he is still competitive with a sound sixth at Musselburgh on reappearance (5f, soft) and should come on for that run; a player. |

5th Mar 2024 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
36,000gns yearling; seventh foal; closely related to 5f winner Valentine Blues (AW; RPR 72), half-brother to 5f winner Celsius (96); unraced dam closely related to 7.4f Listed winner Choose Me; already gelded; has fairly good standard to reach on debut. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual 5f turf winner; would have each-way claims if able to reproduce his Newcastle effort from three starts ago but has taken a couple of backward steps since. |
9/2 |
|
1 (6) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins over 5f, on good to firm and soft; on a good mark now and he has run creditably over 6f but might prefer an easier test at the trip than this, especially with the ground having eased. |
8/1 |
|
1 (3) |
3rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won on good to firm and soft; two good runs out of four since moving yards, including last time at Musselburgh (5f, good) where he would have been closer with a clearer passage; temptingly handicapped. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
In fine form on the AW this winter, landing back-to-back 6f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Southwell recently; very lightly raced on turf but still merits serious consideration in his hat-trick bid. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a sixth victory on Tapeta when going in at Wolverhampton off 3lb lower three weeks ago; never won off a mark quite this high but gives his trainer, who also run He's An Angel, a decent hand. |
7/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All five wins have been on Tapeta and last three have come over C&D; finished a remote third at Southwell 12 days ago but that was behind a handicap blot and he was in good form before that run; shortlisted. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 4f 217y Class 6 |

Won four races on turf last year and resumes after an unsuccessful stint on the AW, 2lb lower than when last successful; fascinating contender. |
11/1 |
|
5th 1 (5) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-18 on AW and can get it wrong at the start; on the plus side, he is dropping into a 0-60 today and you don't have to go back too far to find form that gives him a strong chance. |
11/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Offered more on his second run back from a winter break behind Beauzon on Friday (5lb better off tonight); that made it 0-17 on the AW and there's always a chance he'll fluff the start but he does seem to like it here. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Regressed for Nigel Tinkler last year; having a first run at beyond sprints trips for his new yard, back from seven months off; doesn't make obvious appeal. |
33/1 |
|
5th 2 (4) |
9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win came in a three-runner maiden at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; best effort this year came over C&D two weeks ago but he enjoyed a clear run while several of those in behind got in each other's way; more needed to win. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Two creditable handicap runs have followed her Ripon novice win last month; she'll need to raise her game to defy this mark but, after just six starts, that's quite possible. |

2nd 4 (4) |
31st Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, went second 1f out, carried right inside final furlong, kept on |

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |

Didn't need to improve on her spring seconds to win a weak Ripon novice 12 days ago; she settled better that day, though, and remains relatively unexposed as she goes handicapping at a sensible level. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner at sprint trips; runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford in January and 1m2f hasn't suited on her last two starts; her reduced mark is a plus and cheekpieces are added, but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

11th 4 (7) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Three-time winner at sprint trips; stays further but stamina seemed to run out late when tackling 1m2f for the first time at Chelmsford 19 days ago. |

8th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Three-time winner at sprint trips but it was over 1m when a staying-on second here last time; was no match for the winner but that effort offers hope for her staying this far. |

Verdict
Nigel Tinkler’s TICKTYBOO has been beaten ten times but his latest Newcastle effort was just about his best yet. Caribbean Wind commands respect after two seconds and others to bear in mind include Last Outlaw, Canon’s House, Kodenza and My Awele.[Alistair Jones]
