11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
String of consistent efforts on Tapeta since sporting headgear, culminating in last weekend's Wolverhampton win off 5lb lower; not a lot of luck round Newcastle prior to that and it would come as no surprise to see him follow up. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Wetherby juvenile winner for Sam England last October (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); some fair form since, and an interesting contender after his 2l-third to Spartan Times (who is now 4lb worse off) in a C&D handicap two weeks ago. |

3rd 15 |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Landed a juvenile hurdle for Sam England last October; sold to join new yard for 1,400gns in February but finished last of ten to complete on stable debut at Stratford (2m, good) in March; hard to fancy. |

24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Maiden; respectable fifth over 1m3f at Kempton 17 days ago but Sonnerie Power and Voix De Bocelli were ahead of him; first-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are now replaced by blinkers. |
11/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden; showed broadly progressive form as a 2yo but has gone the other way this season; may be helped by this drop in grade off a reduced mark. |
12/1 |
|
7 (3) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Suffered a near miss on handicap debut at Kempton (7f) but has finished a well-held sixth in two runs since being gelded and this could be tougher again; what might help is now going beyond 1m, being a son of Ulysses. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Losing run stands at 18 but she has run well in 7f classified events on Tapeta on her last two starts, the latest here last week; strong claims in this field. |
2/1 |
|
14 (14) |
27th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Gained both wins on Newcastle AW last November; 0-12 on turf but has frame possibilities on some of her recent form; drop back to Class 6 looks a plus. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins and a second from three runs on Tapeta, the second coming when clear with a progressive winner over C&D last August; turned over twice as favourite on turf this spring but holds decent claims once more. |
3/1 |
|
5th 9 (14) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 (1m2f/1m4f) saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top at Doncaster (1m2f) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today and made a respectable return to action at Doncaster two weeks ago; return to 1m4f should be okay and he's one for the shortlist. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 13 (12) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Last five races in 2025 saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top over C&D (good to soft) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today (from 2lb out of the handicap) and makes plenty of appeal if returning in a similar vein for this first start since September. |

10th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Debut winner at Pontefract (5f, soft) early last season and knocking on the door on AW at Newcastle and Southwell (7f) later in the year; excuses for poor Chester run - drawn wide and hampered - latest but does need to bounce back in a newly applied hood; easing mark a plus. |
16/1 |

13th 11 (11) |
13th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Winless since her debut at Pontefract last April but not disgraced given she was set a lot to do when a close eighth of 12 in 7f Newcastle handicap last month; possibilities off a 2lb lower mark. |
25/1 |
|
8th 8 (10) |
11th May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made a winning debut at Pontefract (5f, soft) just over a year ago and went down only narrowly in two Tapeta nurseries in the autumn (the first over C&D); will need to step foward from her reappearance here in March, though. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won over C&D in November but that is her sole win from 20 starts and she's been out of sort in four runs for current yard; continues to drop down the weights but she needs a major revival; cheekpieces back on. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (6) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Record of 1-19 and she's on her fourth trainer; recent AW efforts were uninspiring. |
25/1 |

10th 9 (4) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ordinary form of late, but is 1lb lower than when dead-heating over C&D in November on her final start for Alice Haynes; possibilities if bouncing back. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Only five ran when third at Catterick two runs back and then tailed off at Ripon (1m); could improve for going further but hard to be confident. |
10/1 |
|
3 (5) |
29th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Failed to build on her C&D reappearance fifth when beaten just under 9l into third at Catterick (7f, good) on Saturday; the return to 1m may help but others are still preferred. |
