21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Winless on turf since 2021 but showed more on his second run back from a break last time, is now 2lb lower and this is easier than the handicaps he's used to contesting; tends to be held up and a speed-favouring 5f in a small field may not be optimal but he's capable. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Well handicapped on the pick of last year's AW form and he may have needed his comeback run at Thirsk in May; however, this 9yo was well beaten and is without a win on turf since September 2021; others are more compelling. |

Veteran with a mind of his own and refused to leave the parade ring on last intended start in November; however, perfectly capable of a big run off this mark and he's gone well fresh in the past. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

Mixed results in higher grades on turf of late; has a better strike-rate (4-10) on AW and looks interesting returned to this sphere off 1lb below last winning mark. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Never in contention in the Ayr Silver Cup last week; mark not beyond him judged on this year's best but he has few secrets now. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

No problem with fast turf but he has a much better strike-rate on AW; midfield finish at Doncaster last month didn't suggest he is the answer here. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Both visits here came in the summer of 2024 and yielded a third followed by a win, both at 6f on good to firm; that was his last success on turf but he scored on AW three starts back and last month's return to grass from the widest stall at Chester can be ignored; not ruled out. |
18/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |

His last three wins have come on the AW at Newcastle but he is effective on turf and this mark shouldn't be beyond him; stall 15 is a severe hindrance though. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Won over this trip at Newmarket last autumn for Mick Appleby but three turf runs for current yard have been well below par; bit to prove. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Reappeared for new yard with a near-miss at Kempton (6f, AW) in March but he's struggled at 50-1 back on turf in last two runs; got hampered early on at Ascot last time but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

No impact in two York sprints last month but he's slipped to a good mark and a revival wouldn't be a complete bolt from the blue. |

25th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won first two starts at 5f on heavy and good to soft but things haven't been easy for him since, on turf or the AW, and has yet to prove 6f suits. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Ended losing run with an emphatic success at Wolverhampton (5f) six weeks ago and the runner-up has done his bit for the form since; still seeking a first turf win though and following up off 7lb higher won't be easy. |
7/2 |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts. |
4/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Yet to win in ten starts for current stable but he has been placed in seven of them, including back on turf at Wetherby 13 days ago (5.5f, good to firm); should run his race but this looks a tough race in which to end his losing streak. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Seven-time AW winner but sole turf win was in 2023 and he was tailed off back in this sphere at Catterick (7f, good) in May; has something to prove after another break and others are preferred. |
20/1 |

12th 4 (8) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and he has a 9lb lower mark to work with on turf; however, he's been inconsistent this year and his sole turf win (from 15 attempts) came back in 2023. |
8/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Back from a 91-day break to get off the mark in a five-runner C&D handicap last week; has a stiffer task with a penalty but still has possibilities. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |

Placed twice at Southwell (5f) in late 2025 but he has failed to fire on his last four starts; should be well treated but he is not one for maximum faith. |
