7th 9 (1) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Veteran with ten wins to his name; behind some of these on two visits to York this summer but wasn't disgraced in a C&D handicap 15 days ago on a rare foray over this far; could have some part to play. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 (6) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
In the veteran stage now but his two runs at York this term prove he still retains ability, latterly when sticking on into midfield in valuable 10.5f event a fortnight ago; his sole start at 1m4f (in December 2024) returned his best RPR and this second attempt is well worth another go. |
16/1 |
|
11th 14 (22) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Did well to finish fifth of 16 over C&D (good) on reappearance four weeks ago having been hampered soon after the start and raced wide; however, he goes well fresh so may not improve for that outing, and it's likely this 9yo will be vulnerable against numerous unexposed contenders. |

22nd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 99y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Solid effort on his Tapeta debut in August, when going close off a 2lb lower mark in first-time cheekpieces (switches to blinkers today); below that level on turf last time and has still to conclusively prove his stamina over a demanding, extended 1m4f. |
4/1 |
|
7th 7 (8) |
14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Maiden winner who is still lightly raced and this headgear combination did him no harm when runner-up at Southwell (1m3f, AW) in August; could have done without the 3lb rise in this stronger company. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (10) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Nottingham maiden winner (1m, good) a year ago, but out of the frame in all three handicaps; still unexposed, but needs the switch to the AW and addition of a tongue-tie to give him a lift. |

5th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Consistent 4yo who kept on well for third in quite valuable Racing League handicap here (1m3f) in August; nudged up 2lb to career-high mark since but useful 3lb claimer Kaiya Fraser is enlisted; probably won't be far away. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (6) |
29th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Has proved consistent in his career especially on the AW (32113); still 4lb above his last winning mark but no surprise if he goes well again. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (3) |
10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Sole run on ground firmer than good was last June; off the mark at sixth attempt that season and solid efforts in handicaps this term, including a close call over 1m2f at Newbury (good) and clashes with The Goat over 1m4f on Kempton AW both starts since (won first of them); has to be considered. |

Seven Flat wins include over C&D, and more recently on the AW in December; trip inadequate on seasonal return here in April and has since been pulled up over hurdles; champion jockey booked but veteran appears vulnerable. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Seven-time Flat winner won a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in March 2023 (2m, good to yielding) but generally moderate form over hurdles since then; the same can be said of his recent outing on the level at Leopardstown last month. |

Twice well held at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) since winning from 1lb lower over C&D (well behind Metallo on the first occasion); needs to bounce back in the first-time cheekpieces. |

Registered a Class 4 success at Chelmsford last month on third start for new yard, taking his 1m2f form figures to 421; upped a couple of grades but may have more to offer at this distance. |

10st 2lb |
A tongue-tie was added to cheekpieces when off the mark for this yard, getting up late at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) in July; weak in the market under a penalty when beaten 5l in amateur riders' event over C&D (good) the following week; combination of this trip and slow ground will be new to him. |
8/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-Ian Williams; first win for current yard with first-time tongue-tie at Epsom last week (1m4f, good to firm), quickening up well after not getting best of runs; could go well with a 4lb penalty although below par two previous runs at 1m6f. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |

Signed off for Ian Williams with below-par AW run in the autumn and finished last on both turf starts for new stable this year; on good mark now but needs first-time tongue-tie to aid a return to form. |

10yo with a 9-57 record on turf compared to 0-9 (three seconds) on AW; still a force on turf last season (won off 5lb higher) and 2025 reappearance was okay but he took a backward step at Ripon next time. |
