12th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Half-sister to the yard's leading sprinter Big Evs; built on her debut experience when winning at Newcastle (6f, AW) in November; off since but she's open to further improvement now stepping back up in trip on handicap debut. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual Southwell winner off lower marks early in the year who ran poorly there when last seen and has been off for almost four months since; would need a career-best in order to take this. |
20/1 |
|
7th 4 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner twice in February, before only just failing to catch the winner back here in hat-trick bid; work to do with Jimmy Speaking from Doncaster (fifth), with recent Thirsk effort - last of 12 - hardly a ringing endorsement. |
5/1 |
|
12th 8 (1) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives in good form, winning twice at Southwell in February and finding only another thriving rival too strong in his hat-trick bid last month; only fifth of 16 back on turf at Doncaster three weeks ago (behind It'sneverjustone); perhaps too high in the weights for now. |

27th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-16 and he failed to beat a rival in 6f Windsor handicap last time after a very slow start; not one to rely on. |
8/1 |
|
12th 5 (1) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-15, albeit with competitive form off higher marks; easily best show this season was his Chepstow second on penultimate start; tried blinkers latest and now reverts to last season's cheekpieces; his yard won this race last year and a case can be made but others are more compelling. |
9/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-14 but has competitive form off higher marks and was runner-up over 5f here two weeks ago; won't be hindered by returning to 6f and blinkers might give him a lift. |

13th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ran well on her handicap debut at Southwell last month (6f) and another creditable effort when third in a Wolverhampton novice 16 days ago; a stiff 5f could prompt extra but it needs to. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (8) |
25th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Couldn't cope with an unexposed and well-handicapped opponent at Southwell on her nursery debut ten days ago but her second still represented improvement; solid candidate back at this level. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 9 (6) |
15th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
took keen hold, prominent early, in touch with leaders after 1f, outpaced 2f out, headway over 1f out, went second towards finish, no match for winner |

Some decent runs in Britain last winter over 6f though didn't progress; market can help after a long absence. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Bettered underwhelming stable debut when rallying third in maiden handicap at Carlisle (nearly 7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; recent 3lb drop is helpful and this return to Tapeta should suit; shortlisted. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (9) |
19th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 195y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Well treated on his best form for Seb Spencer but he's been out of sorts in his last four runs including when last of eight on stable debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; overall record is now 0-10 and he needs a major revival. |
12/1 |
|
8th 4 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |

Nine-race maiden; showed some promise for Seb Spencer but well beaten on last three starts; makes stable debut after a 173-day break. |
