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). |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Progressive last autumn and rediscovered that thread to win at Redcar (1m, good) in May; hasn't been running badly over about 1m2f subsequently but needs something extra if he's to take this. |
50/1 |
|
5th 9 (2) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Secured the latest of his three wins when taking Redcar handicap (1m, good) in May; couple of respectable efforts over 1m2f on turf since and he hasn't finished out of the first three in four AW starts (all here); another who can't be dismissed. |
12/1 |
|
6th 10 (15) |
12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Secured the latest of his three wins when taking Redcar handicap (1m, good) in May; stepped up to this trip for the first time when staying-on fifth in the Zetland Gold Cup back there 18 days ago and this fairly progressive sort should have more to offer. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on AW; two good runs at Carlisle this summer, second in May and third on Saturday, but they were over 6f and his stamina for this trip is the obvious concern. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Two AW wins to his name and his close second over C&D (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in May was up with his best turf form; back on that latter mark after two lesser efforts so can't be readily dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual 6f winner on the AW; decent efforts last two turf runs, notably when neck second on good to soft at Carlisle last month (6f; cheekpieces on for first time); fair fifth in first-time blinkers at Thirsk last time (6f, good); cheekpieces the preferred option this time; could go well. |

12th 10 (4) |
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. |
12/1 |

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 |
