25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
8yo who has been in and out this year and was soundly beaten at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last time but prior to that he won over today's C&D (soft) and can't be ruled out off this 4lb higher mark. |
10/1 |

6th 3 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Retains ability aged eight and bagged a Class 2 prize at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) most recently, taking record to 10-56; back on career-high mark but drops back in grade; may well remain competitive. |
9/2 |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
In top form when racking up a hat-trick last summer and back at that level when third over 1m2f at Newcastle (AW) and Chepstow (good to soft) this summer; never a threat after a slow start at Southwell last time but more than capable off this mark and Oisin Murphy takes the reins. |

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. |
14/1 |

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. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 3 |

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. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten on his last 13 starts going back to last May but he's been a good second on two of his last three starts, most recently in a big field at York (1m4f, good) this month; every chance he'll again be bang there. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Won this (good to firm) on return last year by a neck off 4lb higher than today; subsequent efforts have never quite lived up to that, albeit runner-up on Kempton AW last September and this March; first 1m2f run for ages when disappointing on latest start; could bounce back with each-way claims. |
15/2 |

8th 10 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Had dropped 3lb below his last winning mark when second of nine behind course-specialist Whitcombe Rockstar at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) last month, his first start in 75 days; races off the same mark, but he hasn't tackled a trip this short in three years; stable runs three. |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

All six of his wins have been on turf but he has form on AW; won by a head at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) in May before a lesser effort on his final start for Richard Fahey; failed to beat a rival on yard debut at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) and the visor now returns. |

Infrequent winner but he's on a dangerous mark and has reached the frame at Nottingham (8.3f, good) and Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) in his last two starts; now drops back in trip but he should get a good pace to aim at and is not ruled out. |

Has an each-way shout, having shown signs of a revival with placed effort at Nottingham (1m) last Saturday returned to turf; whether he can win is another matter, with his strike-rate still poor. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

3yo who has an up-and-down profile and was tailed off at Southwell last time; however, he won at Kempton (1m4f) two starts ago and is also effective over this C&D; not discounted. |

The only 3yo in this field and made the most of a sliding mark when winning by a neck at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) this month; the fourth won here on Monday and he can't be dismissed easily from a 3lb higher mark. |
