1st 7 (4) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Six AW wins for Stuart Kittow including over C&D in his final run last season; returns for Zoe Hawkins after 238 days off but he's only 3lb higher than last time and has claims if he can pick up where he left off; market should be useful. |
6/1 |

1st 8 (1) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three of top five RPRs achieved here; shaped better than finishing position suggests at Southwell on Sunday and didn't get the breaks when fourth to Arctic Dawn the time before (C&D); won't really benefit from stall 1 given his style of racing and there isn't loads of pace on paper; wears just a tongue-tie. |
12/1 |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have come over 7f on the AW, including here, but he has run well over this far; losing run up to 12, but has dropped to a fair mark (1lb higher than when last successful) and could sneak into the frame; visor now given a go. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has come a stone down the weights this year and been expensive to follow lately; this is easier than he's used to, on his Tapeta debut, as the tongue-tie comes off and blinkers go back on, and a revival wouldn't be a shock. |
4/1 |

8th 6 (15) |
16th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since Newmarket last June when 10lb higher in the ratings; had some off-days in the meantime and stopped quickly at Ascot a month ago. |

12th 2 (17) |
13th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Eight wins, the latest at Newmarket last summer (7f, good to soft) coming off 8lb higher; had some off-days in the meantime but last two efforts on ground that would have been on the fast side weren't too shoddy. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Smooth win at Newcastle (7f) in December and now rated 2lb lower; that is a result of beating just one horse home in four subsequent starts; jury out for now. |
14/1 |
|
9th 4 (9) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Justified favouritism over C&D in December; not in anything like the same form, beating a total of just one rival, in three outings since. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Justified favouritism at Newcastle (7f) but failed to match the form in two starts on consecutive days later in December; yet to win over this trip; others preferred. |

17th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Front-runner and dual C&D winner, the latest from 5lb higher just under a year ago; 0-16 in the meantime, though, and needs to do better than when returned to the AW at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; stable also runs Novak. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
3rd Sep 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not been in much form off his lower turf mark this season, coming 12lb down the weights; is 3lb lower than when last seen on the AW but it may just be he's on the downgrade now. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (1) |
29th Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner whose mark continues to fall and he showed some good AW form earlier this year; however, he's without a win on turf since 2019 and he's been unable to threaten on grass on his recent starts. |

5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Winning for the third time at Wolverhampton, and his first over further than 7f, when landing a C&D handicap in March; his stamina looked stretched by 9.4f when fourth 18 days ago; not ruled out back down in distance. |
5/2 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His third win here when holding on grimly last month (8.6f), ending a two-year losing streak; only 2lb higher but he wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up and has never raced over quite this far. |
12/1 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All four wins at 7f, two on this track, but he lost out only narrowly over C&D in January (Lhebayeb third); found less over 1m at Newcastle (favourite) last month but is of more interest back at Wolverhampton. |

Does most racing now at Newcastle, the scene of his last three wins; off for six weeks since finishing well held behind Captain Pickles over C&D. |
