18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not seen on turf since 2024 but is well treated on best Newcastle AW form and has won over this C&D; admittedly needs to stage a revival judged on 2026 efforts. |

Prolific here during the 2024/25 AW season but he's beaten one rival in two starts after an absence; couldn't support with any confidence. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a bang back at 7f when readily landing a C&D handicap 23 days ago (front two clear of Havana Prince); up 6lb but remains of interest. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
2nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Did best of those in the stands' side group at York (6f, good to firm) in July and then kept on for third of nine at Southwell (6f, AW) 27 days ago despite not getting the best of passages; now down to a career-low mark and this dual C&D winner should appreciate stepping back up in trip. |
7/2 |

3rd 1 (7) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's struggled to get competitive on turf on his four starts since May, albeit he fared best in the near-side group at York a fortnight ago; Tapeta seems to be his preferred surface and he's 5lb lower than when going close at Wolverhampton (7f) in February; no surprise to see a big run. |

Scored over C&D (second course win) last month off 3lb lower; ran below that level subsequently at Ayr on soft; should be more at home back here. |
7/1 |

8th 10 (12) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

C&D winner in May and also runner-up here in June/July (all good to firm; won on soft in Ireland earlier in career); has ended the summer in equally good form, including getting his head back in front at Newcastle (1m) 12 days ago but he's yet to win back to back in his 54-race career. |

Four wins on AW but 0-7 on turf; has shown promise on good to soft but others bring more pressing claims. |

5th 11 (8) |
27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Newcastle regular (four wins) but well held in both visits here; still 4lb above his last winning mark and others make greater appeal. |
14/1 |

8th 14 (7) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (7f) in May, and good second at Chester (7f, good to soft) in June; however, only fifth of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has to leave that run behind if he's to get off the mark on turf at the seventh attempt. |

27th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Enhanced his excellent record over C&D when extending his lead at the line 13 days ago with three of these rivals left trailing in his wake; up another 6lb but Warren Fentiman claims a useful 7lb (different claimer took away 3lb last time); very solid. |
7/4 |

7 (10) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has form figures of 1111351 over C&D and he hit a personal best with that latest win 13 days ago; 6lb higher back up in grade but he still looks feasibly treated and should be in the thick of things again. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty. |
5/2 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success. |
5/4 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Has won three times over C&D; clear of the remainder when runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; sound chance down in grade. |

Record of 11137 since switched to this C&D, latest effort best forgiven (race wasn't run to suit); this hold-up mare could prove dangerous, provided the pace fractions are back in her favour. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Sole win in 7f AW novice; has run respectably over this trip on grass but no soft-ground form to speak of and others are more likely to handle the conditions; first-time tongue-tie latest, now discarded. |
25/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Her only win came over C&D and she made a pleasing return from three months off at Pontefract in June (6f, good); another break to contend with this time and connections now turn to a tongue-tie. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

7th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has run a number of good races in defeat this season and he got back on the scoresheet when justifying favouritism at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; up 5lb but that was a comfortable success and he has won over C&D in the past; shortlisted. |
8/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has run a number of good in defeat races this season, including fourth over C&D last month; went down only to a progressive 3yo at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the third and fourth have franked that form; bold show likely. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner who bounced right back to form when second of ten back here eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that but stall 13 is far from ideal. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three Tapeta wins, including C&D; recent form figures not inspiring but she didn't run too badly when sixth of 14 over C&D on her first run back from wind surgery and an excuse emerged last time (reportedly lost action). |
18/1 |
|
9th 10 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three Tapeta wins at other venues; finished behind Twilight Diamond at Southwell 24 days ago (first run after a wind operation); may get closer this time. |
