25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
His form can be up and down but he bolted up at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) last month and ran pretty well behind two 3yos when third at Newbury (1m, good) last time; might not be far away. |

28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins last May-July (including C&D) and won by 7l at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) recently; inconsistent and a 6lb rise takes him to a career-high mark, but he has to be respected in view of that latest dominance. |
3/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three 1m wins (one C&D) on turf last May-July and latest was off just 1lb lower than today; pretty up and down since, a slow-starting favourite when well beaten on latest start but his second at Newbury the time before was a reminder that he's well capable of getting seriously involved. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Overall record of 0-16 but he's fairly useful on the Flat and has shown some promise over hurdles, including when second at Southwell (2m, good) two weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he's been dropped another 2lb and is not ruled out. |
11/4 |

Useful on the Flat but beaten 26l and 16l in two handicaps over hurdles, the latest on good ground here; has to step up but that's realistic. |

19th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Third here (7f, good to soft) on debut in April but pretty disappointing since, last of 11 at Nottingham (1m, good) when she tried cheekpieces on latest outing; now has blinkers. |

Debut third hasn't worked out too well and she hasn't built on it twice since; up in trip for her handicap debut and now tried in cheekpieces but not sure she's thrown in. |

26th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark in 1m novice on Lingfield AW in December but he's found it harder in handicaps this year and his recent runs back at Lingfield leave him with work to do on his Tapeta debut. |

Landed a novice over C&D last December but has blown hot and cold in handicaps in the meantime; drops into a Class 6 and needs the return to this surface to help galvanise him. |

16th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Mostly respectable form in 1m handicaps this season and it was a muddling Class 4 over 1m3f in which he couldn't get seriously involved at Kempton 12 days ago; 1m2f might be ideal; respected. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Best form on AW but has won on turf and it was his best effort on grass when third of six at Newbury (2m, good; plugged on) three weeks ago; each-way shout. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 8 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Has done best on AW, including three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f/2m) in the last six months; well held at Lingfield two weeks ago but has a modest record there; has won twice on turf, latterly on good ground at Bath (1m6f) last June but none of his turf form matches today's mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (12) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Something of a Wolverhampton specialist (3-5) though he has won on Polytrack at Kempton; the drop to 1m4f didn't help last time so the return to a longer distance should help, but his high draw may not be ideal even over this trip. |

14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Safely held on both starts for new stable this season but now 6lb lower than when winning for Clive Cox at Doncaster (7f, good) last summer and is sure to appreciate today's ease in grade; dangerous to ignore. |
10/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
1-9 for Clive Cox, the victory coming in a 7f fillies' handicap at Doncaster last July (good ground); 2lb below that mark now and although she was well beaten at Brighton on last month's stable debut, she could take a good step forward. |
