29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to beat a rival on stable debut at Wolverhampton last month when returning from 137 days off (typically started slowly); tongue-tie returns and is a dual winner on turf (5f; one on good to firm) but hard to support. |
33/1 |
|
12th 10 (5) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won two of his first four starts but his losing run is up to 15 and he was short of his best in three runs early in the year; sold for 5,000gns in February and new yard quick to get him back sprinting; worth a market check off his reduced mark. |
12/1 |

5th 6 (7) |
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. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Doubled his winning tally when beating four rivals (including Too Much Trevor) over C&D (good to firm) 16 days ago; only 2lb higher and may be the one to capitalise if Prefer The Sister runs below form. |
6/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
1-26 but generally consistent; didn't show any obvious improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when third here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and likely to be competing for minor honours. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
1-25 but he went close over 7f at Wolverhampton in March and his Bath third last month (5.7f, good to firm) was another sound effort; should remain competitive with first-time cheekpieces added. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins last season; on a competitive mark and under usual prominent tactics he hung around for a close fourth here 20 days ago; enters the reckoning. |
15/2 |
|
4th 9 (12) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Four wins last season, including C&D on good; 0-6 in 2026 but latest Southwell third creditable and he's back on a winning mark. |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won a 6f fillies' maiden (good to firm) last June on her second start; no progress since handicapping, however, and she was in danger of tailing off when reportedly showing signs of being in season over C&D last time; work to do even if that run is ignored. |
20/1 |
|
9 (1) |
11th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 6f fillies' maiden last June on her second start; no progress since handicapping, however, and she needs to leave last month's reappearance well behind her. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
23rd May 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Found a weak fast-ground maiden when off the mark last June and struggled once handicapping, coming 9lb down the weights; not obviously fancied back from an absence. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
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. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (4) |
31st Aug 2024 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
took keen hold, in touch with leaders, went second 1f out, carried right inside final furlong, kept on |
4/1 |
|
4th 5 (4) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
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. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1-18 on other AW tracks (unraced here) but there's plenty on turf and AW to suggest that he has each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
4th 6 (4) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 6f course winner for Charlie Clover in October; 0-6 for current stable since April but posted sound effort when second of five over C&D (good to firm) in June and is another 1lb lower today. |
15/2 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not had a lot of luck with one thing and another lately and won't mind going back up to an easy 7f as he bids to take his course record to 3-3; higher in the weights than when twice winning easily here for Tom Clover last backend but he's respected. |

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. |

Modest maiden who has struggled for his new stable this year; hard to fancy in maiden company. |

31st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Promising fourth last June on sole 2yo start but has struggled on his four outings this season (5f-8.6f) and needs to turn things around with first-time blinkers replacing a hood. |

Made giant strides once fitted with headgear, winning four times (6f-7f) between September and February; two runs last month suggested his busy spell might have caught up with him but return to Class 6 will help. |
