16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time turf winner who turned things around with a front-running third over C&D (good; hood reapplied) last month; this is a deeper race but he ties in with Emperor's Son on that latest form and has claims if he can build on it. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Recorded his fourth win when taking five-runner Catterick handicap (5f, good to firm) in June but there have been diminishing returns subsequently; possible he prefers this sort of field size and there's nothing wrong with his mark if he can stage a revival. |
12/1 |

10th 8 (10) |
30th Aug 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Successful off this mark at Catterick (5f, good to firm) in June but he hasn't beaten many home in three runs since; has a C&D win to his name but soft ground not sure to suit and others are safer. |

She should be making a big impact off this mark but she hasn't been at her best on her last two starts; others look safer. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice in May 2025 and placed on her only two visits to Ripon, latest a close call three starts back; none of her 16 races were beyond 5f but this trip now looks worth a go; one to consider. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A dual winner (including over C&D) in 2025; quite lightly raced this season and not discredited when third in 5f handicaps at Ripon and Catterick last two runs; one to consider. |

8st 9lb |
1-38, the win gained over 5f at Lingfield (AW) in spring 2025; came second off her basement mark at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in May but recent efforts have been disappointing. |

17th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Sole win from 37 starts came on the AW at Lingfield (5f) last April; runner-up at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in May but she's struggled in four starts since; stablemate of Megaphone. |

1st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole Tapeta effort, when springing a 25-1 surprise off a 5lb lower mark over 6f at Southwell, was a good bit better than any of her five turf efforts; one to consider back on the AW. |
10/1 |
|
8th 7 (2) |
16th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Showed improved form on AW debut (second handicap start, first run at 6f) when a 25-1 winner of a Southwell nursery last time; up 5lb; chance if reproducing that form if as good back on grass. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb better off for a neck with Call Time on their run at Ffos Las (6f, soft) 23 days ago; had earlier won at that track (5f, good) and would seem likely to make another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Gained all four wins over 5f, the latest on ground that was slower than the official good here last month; also suited by soft/heavy and recent 3lb rise ought to be manageable but his record over 6f is not compelling. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Has won here on good ground but appreciates it softer, as he showed when going close over 5f at Chepstow three runs back; he's considered off a good mark. |

18th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Exposed 12-race maiden but she's slipping down the weights and she wasn't beaten far over C&D 17 days ago; still to totally convince over this trip though. |
8/1 |
|
5th 10 (2) |
1st Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Exposed maiden who started the bigger price of her trainer's pair when a well-held third behind Indy's Angel over C&D last Tuesday (first run beyond 5f); hard to find a reason why she'll turn things round. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 (9) |
24th Sep 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ten-race maiden who has raced exclusively at 5f; runner-up a couple of times at Catterick but she's not progressing and hopes rest on the extra furlong having a positive effect; yard runs two. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Made a satisfactory seasonal debut over 5.7f here in June but wasn't seen again until finishing last over that trip 11 days ago; has much more to prove than some of these and would appeal much more on slow ground. |
25/1 |
|
5th 8 (1) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Scored over C&D on heavy in October 2024 and recorded her second win, at Windsor (6f, soft), last September; below that form on her two subsequent starts last year and watching brief advised on this reappearance unless the ground turns in her favour. |
16/1 |
|
10th 7 (10) |
9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took a C&D nursery (heavy) this time last year and September's Windsor score reaffirmed her greater effectiveness on slow ground, so largely drying forecast not ideal; back down 2lb now unpenalised again, at least. |
