2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Six Tapeta wins include four over C&D; on dangerous mark but he bled from the nose at Southwell on his penultimate run and also had a small amount of blood in his mouth before a tame effort over C&D two weeks ago; continues to edge down the weights but he has a patchy profile and others are preferred; cheekpieces added. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Six Tapeta wins include four here; has come back down to a realistic mark and reportedly bled from the nose when well beaten after a break at Southwell. |

27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won six 7f Tapeta handicaps in the opening months of last year, two over C&D, going two stone up the weights; didn't see out 1m when last seen and holds each-way claims back on his favoured surface. |

6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regularly misses the break; form has nosedived since winning at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January, including when beaten nearly 15l in a similar event over C&D one month ago; can't be recommended at present. |
50/1 |

3 (9) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regularly misses the break; second to Fact Or Fable in this race last year and won at this track (7f, good to firm) in September; back on the scoresheet at Southwell (7f, AW; first-time blinkers) in January but quiet since and he ran poorly at Brighton last time when back from a break. |

C&D win in January; not in the same form in three runs since April and minor money perhaps his best hope. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Multiple winner down the years; solid effort on turf three weeks ago and won't mind getting back on AW; looks the likeliest of Phil Mcentee's three runners. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Just held on to win 8.6f classified here in March and can handle today's drop back in trip but this is his first run since May and he might find this race too competitive. |
14/1 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
5th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Winning for the third time at Wolverhampton, and his first over further than 7f, when landing a C&D handicap in March; his stamina looked stretched by 9.4f when fourth 18 days ago; not ruled out back down in distance. |
5/2 |
|
4th 8 (5) |
17th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
His third win here when holding on grimly last month (8.6f), ending a two-year losing streak; only 2lb higher but he wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up and has never raced over quite this far. |

Veteran who is without a win since September 2023 and looks out of form; faces tough terms as well. |

15th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Turf maiden (0-13) who has gained four 7f wins on AW, the most recent of which was at Lingfield in March; twice placed during the summer, losing out by a neck (third) at Salisbury on penultimate start; returns from a break. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (3) |
2nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time winner on the AW and 0-12 on turf, but was only beaten a head and a short head into third of 13 in an amateur riders' event at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; 1lb higher, but still shortlisted. |
3/1 |

23rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Can lead; four AW wins at 7f but 0-11 on turf and the way he was finishing at Brighton in May suggests he won't be one of the stronger finishers with extra emphasis on stamina on this track. |

23rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won a classified race at Lingfield (7f, AW) last summer; short of her best in three runs this winter though and she needs a full revival. |
25/1 |
|
8th 1 (9) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not as her best in handicaps lately, but she was successful the last time she raced at this level at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) in August; has run well over C&D and a player; stable also runs Embarked. |
6/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
27th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Dual 7f winner on the AW but a modest strike-rate overall and last win was in a classified race; could still run well off a realistic mark. |

9st 4lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Dundalk (1m, Polytrack) last month but he was always out the back in his follow-up bid here (7f) on Saturday; now steps back up in trip but he has something to prove again on this quick turnaround. |
9/1 |
