6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner who resumes from eight months off on a career-high mark; gone well fresh before but is used to plying his trade in lesser company and may need some help from the handicapper. |
12/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Scored four times on AW last winter; opened his turf account with Brighton success (7f, good to firm) latest start, taking record here to 27221; likely player, provided he copes with drop in trip. |

19th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner who twice went close over C&D earlier in the summer; has had his moments at the stalls, can pull hard and will always need races to set up given his run style, but he's one to consider; blinkers return. |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Well suited by a left-hand turn, winning twice here over 5f last summer; promising seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) but he wasn't in the same form at Musselburgh (5f, good) nine days ago; handy draw and he can't be discounted. |
11/2 |

6th 1 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five wins, all around a left-hand bend (5f-5.5f), in a productive 2025 campaign; his near miss on 6f Catterick reappearance (good) last Wednesday suggests he's unlikely to be long in opening his account for 2026; same mark today. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Five wins, all around a left-hand bend (5f-5.5f; has form over much further), in a productive 2025 campaign; effective at this track and not impossibly treated returning from 170 days off; one to consider. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider. |
8/1 |

1st 4 (11) |
7th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
13yo whose most recent success came at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in November and he ran well when runner-up there when last seen 157 days ago; contender if ready to go on his return. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
All 24 of his races have been on AW (won three of them) but he's finished down the field in two starts this summer, including over C&D 34 days ago; bit to prove. |
10/1 |

7 (10) |
1st Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Below par at Chelmsford last month but that was his first outing since finishing third over C&D in January and he could strip fitter now. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
27-race maiden but he's had three seconds since August and things didn't go his way behind an improver at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last time; should get a good tow into this race and has claims if he gets the breaks. |
9/1 |
|
2 (8) |
22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
26-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in his last three starts including over C&D (cheekpieces reapplied) on Saturday; had some traffic issues in that race and he should be in the mix again if turned out quickly. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
20th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Still a maiden after 25 starts but has twice finished second over 6f in recent weeks and wil be suited by today's return to 7f on Tapeta; sports refitted cheekpieces; probably won't be far away. |

9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 44y |
9st 12lb |
0-11 and shown nothing in two turf runs; they've both come on soft ground and a drying surface may help but it was a low-key yard debut at Cork last month. |
16/1 |
|
5 (3) |
10th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
10-race maiden; went close at Chelmsford in December but didn't back that up in two subsequent AW runs and bought for just 4,500gns since; off 239 days and others appeal more. |
20/1 |

7th 8 (9) |
14th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

2nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

1-20 with his win coming over C&D in February; 1lb lower than when beaten less than a length into second of 13 here in April and very much a player if reproducing that form. |
6/1 |

6 (7) |
9th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

1-19 with the win coming in a Wolverhampton handicap (6f, AW) in February; five starts on turf leave something to be desired, but he does drop to this level for the first time; respected. |

8th 10 (13) |
16th Jul 2025 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time 7f winner here (well suited by a good test over that trip) who's currently 0-17 over C&D; patchy since a win here off 1lb lower in February and others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |
|
18th 1 (22) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Still on a realistic mark and several good AW runs to his name already this year; 0-13 on turf and 0-31 at 1m+ so he will need to break new ground to come out on top today; Simon Walker booked but others might be seeing it out more strongly. |
10/1 |

5th 11 (1) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Dual course winner (1m/7f) this year, following a layoff; managed only sixth when favourite here (1m) 11 days ago but has a big role to play from the inside stall if quickly back in the groove. |

0-8; runner-up in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton before finding 6f too sharp a test there when tried in blinkers (retained); returning to 7f can help and she's the highest rated of these on BHA figures. |

9st 0lb |
The extended 5f at Brighton (good to firm) last May brought his only win from 27 races; his most competitive shows since were on AW this March but he was second favourite on return to turf at Bath last Friday, only to be hampered; not entirely dismissed. |
10/1 |
