16th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Justified favouritism in a couple of AW novice events this winter, latest comfortably at Wolverhampton (7f); promising sort but needs big improvement at this level, being clear bottom on ratings. |

8th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Even-money favourite for his Newcastle debut six weeks ago (6f) and his supporters rarely had an anxious moment, as he tanked through the race and settling matters quickly over 1f out; bred to be well suited by 7f and he's a major player with further progress likely. |

24th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
His progress looked to have stalled after winning at Chester in July but he was back to his best when third at Goodwood 12 days ago, not really getting a clear run at things until it was too late; runs off the same mark here but he will have to prove himself on soft ground. |
8/1 |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Down the field at Doncaster four weeks ago but that was his first attempt at 7f and it was in a more competitive race than this; he had a 3-8 strike-rate previously (including 6f wins on good/good to soft) and this 3yo could bounce back with a bold show for his top yard. |
6/1 |
|
13th 8 (8) |
14th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 3-8, with one of those wins on good to soft; endured a wide trip when placed at Chester last time but was beaten 4l and whether he wants 7f remains to be seen (confined to sprinting thus far). |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Steady progress last season, winning at 7f and 1m; flopped in the Spring Mile first time back but showed his true colours when emerging from off the pace to beat a Beckett improver over 1m here recently (4lb lower); he should stay this far. |
13/2 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Made steady progress switched to handicaps last autumn, winning over 7f at Ascot (good to soft) and 1m at Newcastle (AW); that makes his reappearance effort in the Doncaster Spring Mile disappointing but last year's exploits show he's better than that. |
10/1 |
|
18th 15 (20) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 51531 since handicapping includes a couple of respectable efforts at Doncaster (7f, heavy); held on by only a whisker at Newcastle (AW) upped to 1m but may have further improvement in him. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Two 6f wins on AW and he's continued in reasonable form since the latest of them in October; has a 5lb lower turf mark but he didn't come up with much on grass last summer and this is the first time he's worn headgear. |
11/2 |

C&D winner off 1lb higher last autumn; not beaten far at Newcastle of late, most recently when forced to challenge on the far flank; non-runner when due to wear headgear here last time; no aids this evening. |

30th May 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Only run on Tapeta to date and has achieved little, including in a hood (off today) when last seen ten weeks ago; trainer, who also saddles Jackchester, is best known for older horses and boasts an ordinary record with 3yos in recent times. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Scored twice at 1m last autumn but she's yet to fire in 1m handicaps at Doncaster and Ripon this season; needs to take a major step forward. |
12/1 |
|
10th 6 (8) |
17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a brace at Ayr and Nottingham around 1m last October on heavy; still lightly raced and should be better for the run when tenth of 22 in amateurs' handicap at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March; one to keep an eye on. |
7/1 |
|
10th 19 (14) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Too early to pigeonhole her as a mudlark but her form did take off when faced with soft and heavy going last autumn, winning at Ayr and Nottingham (both around 1m); only sixth on good ground when last seen; likely she has more to offer this year but perhaps when underfoot conditions are more demanding. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Contrasting efforts over C&D since returning from layoff and switched to handicaps, finishing third then well held; may progress if rebound materialises. |

13th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Unexposed after just four runs; looked green as a 2yo and appeared a much improved model when third of eight over C&D (good ground) 18 days ago, fading after eight months off; the hood (omitted on return) goes back on today; in good hands and has far more potential than most of today's rivals. |

Lacked the pace to pose a significant threat over 6f here on handicap debut a fortnight ago but remains unexposed and could quite plausibly be seen to better effect over today's longer trip. |

31st May 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
