29th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Made a winning debut as a 2yo but beaten on his next 23 starts; revitalised by a drop into Class 5 company though, winning 7f handicaps at Haydock and Doncaster (impressed in a good Topspeed figure); up 7lb for last time but still has some handicapping scope. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Ran three sound races in June, notably when 0.75l third over C&D (good to firm) then beaten a head at Bath next time (1m, good); below par on AW latest but has an each-way chance back on turf. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (11) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives in very good form without winning, a clear second of 11 in 1m Bath handicap 25 days ago; drawn wide but this course winner merits serious consideration with Oisin Murphy back up. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 (4) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won two fast-ground C&D handicaps last season, both off higher marks than today's; threatening a win in recent starts and Jack Callan takes off a handy 3lb; unraced on slower than good ground. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
The handicapper has been in command since his runaway win at Leicester (6f, good) in April; today's return to sprinting is in his favour but he's likely to be vulnerable at this level. |
40/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 3 |

Raced exclusively at shorter, gaining most wins over 6f; looks likely to be outstayed and outclassed upped in trip/grade. |
66/1 |
|
8th 4 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Kept trying when third at Doncaster last time (6f) but was beaten over 3l and he's not looked well handicapped since scoring by 6l in April; he's also only 1-16 over 7f. |

3rd 9 (8) |
5th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
He's not consistent but he won over C&D last November and ran really well when second of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago; major player if he's once more on song. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 10 (16) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Has gained all wins at shorter, including three times off higher marks at Doncaster; however, not disgraced over 8.5f last time and enters calculations back here. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
27th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Should be making a big impact at this level and he is 1lb lower than for his Southwell win (7f) in November; still to convince he wants this far though. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Scored at Ripon (6f) last June but yet to hit top form this season, undergoing wind surgery before coming in seventh of ten in 6f Pontefract handicap four days ago; others appeal more. |
33/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ripon winner off a 3lb higher mark last June (6f, good); not in top form this season but should fare better on first run after having wind surgery |
20/1 |

14th 13 (1) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Back to his last winning mark and his first two runs in 2026 were respectable; eligible for weaker races than this and easy enough to look elsewhere. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Without a win since summer 2024 but her second at Leicester (7f, good) in April was a good effort and she didn't run badly when sixth from awkward draw at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) this month; 2-3 at this track (both wins over C&D in 2022) and may well be the answer. |
13/2 |
|
6th 5 (12) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Left low-key seasonal debut behind when second at Leicester (7f, good; well backed) in April; remains on a good mark but was safely held when back at Leicester last month and is drawn wide here. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over 1m at Southwell last year; struggled on her first four outings this term but returned to some form when fourth of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month; needs to build on that. |
9/1 |

4th 18 (1) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Gained sole turf win at Doncaster but returns here with a big doubt over her current form, highlighted by those duck eggs next to her name. |
33/1 |

12th 10 (17) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Blows hot and cold and she's struggled on Tapeta this spring in her three runs after a break; plenty to prove and probably more potent at 1m these days. |

Ex-Richard Hannon; not at his best this year and although well handicapped as a result, has plenty to find on recent efforts; tongue-tie now tried. |

17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |

6f novice winner for Richard Hannon in July 2022 (good to firm); has not shown a great deal lately but is on a career-low mark as a result. |

Winless since 2023 and she's been off the track since beating one in 5f Pontefract handicap 11 months ago; needs to hit the ground running on her Tapeta debut. |
9/1 |

2 (3) |
8th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Record of 0-8 in handicaps but has some encouraging form, notably close second over C&D in April; disappointing favourite back here last time and needs to rebound. |

Five wins at Southwell but didn't run much of a race there last time and it's a long time since he was successful on turf; others appeal more. |
20/1 |

2 (11) |
4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Five-time course winner at 7f and 6f who has run well at Doncaster on his last two starts, most recently when fourth (beaten a length) 19 days ago; just 1lb higher than his win here in February and has claims. |
11/2 |
|
4th 8 (3) |
16th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's a prolific winner who bounced back with a fair fifth over C&D (good) three weeks ago; has possibilities if he can back that up and last success was off a similar mark. |

11th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win over 6f as 3yo; stays 7f but his form seesaws and he didn't do enough when upped to 1m at Southwell recently to fancy for this much longer trip. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (3) |
30th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Sole win over 6f at Windsor last summer; in and out of form since and this year's efforts have been poor (without and with headgear; none today); hard to enthuse on first 1m attempt. |
25/1 |
|
12th 7 (8) |
17th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 6f Windsor handicap in June 2023 (good to firm); patchy form since and well below form on his only completed start this term; pulled up (jockey thought something was amiss) on latest start; others appeal more. |
