All three wins under rules on AW Flat; returns from a break and best watched unless the market speaks favourably. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Placed in both Flat outings this year, beaten only narrowly returned to AW latest; has form figures of 221 over C&D; solid claims. |

2nd 1 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Two-time AW winner (including on Tapeta) who was fit from hurdling when a close third at Doncaster (1m6f) in July; not at his best over hurdles three weeks ago but lost a shoe and he could be thereabouts today. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Dual 2m winner last year; two heavy defeats over hurdles before perking up somewhat on return to Flat in January, but absent since; well handicapped on plenty of turf and AW form, so needs a close look, but the last time he raced over a trip this short was February 2024. |

22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |

Returns to the Flat after two heavy defeats over hurdles; ran below market expectations on last attempt under this code but is competitively treated on best AW/turf form. |

28th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Twice won easily here (1m6f/16.5f) around this time last year and is back off the same mark as when successful at Ffos Las (2m, good) in August; makes plenty of appeal. |

3rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-10 but he was placed in five handicaps (1m2f-1m6f) before being pulled up at Wolverhampton 15 days ago after his saddle slipped; that's worth forgiving and the drop back to 1m4f should be fine; respected on his first go in a classified event. |

19th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Not yet off the mark, but he's been placed in his last five handicaps and had little hope against a subsequent wide-margin winner at Chelmsford (1m6f) when back from a break; has stamina still to prove on Tapeta debut but this is realistic. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

18-race maiden; placed on five occasions, notably when third to Rubellite and Havachoc at Wolverhampton last month (1m6f); each-way chance. |

3rd 6 (8) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |

0-17 and he blows hot and cold but there have been some good runs in defeat on AW this year; finished behind Havachoc at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and may do so again. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 5 (3) |
8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
0-16 but he was third in March and backed that up with another good effort, finishing second of 11 (also Southwell, 1m6f) last month; below that level over 2m at that track three days later but he may be capable of bouncing back returned to this shorter trip. |

18th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break. |
7/1 |

5th 3 (4) |
26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |

Prevailed narrowly at Chelmsford (1m6f) last time to complete a hat-trick; climbing back up the weights but warrants respect in current form. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Likeable sort who is back in fine form of late and arrives on a hat-trick after bagging a pair of 1m6f/1m4f handicaps at Southwell; up another 3lb but he rates a big player once more. |

Unplaced all eight Flat starts for Rae Guest and tailed off (albeit on soft ground) in a juvenile hurdle for new stable in December; sports first-time blinkers on this Flat return; improvement required. |
