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. |

8th 7 (2) |
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. |
9/1 |

12th 9 (5) |
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. |

1st May 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Arrives at the top of his game, scoring twice over 1m here before a good second of 12 in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago; firmly in the picture off the same mark. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (11) |
19th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner just under a year ago and comes into this on a hat-trick after two wins at Southwell (1m, Tapeta), the latest a narrow success under Andrea Pinna 11 days ago; up another 2lb and although his wide draw isn't ideal, he has to be respected in his current mood. |

2-39, but made the frame over 6f/7f here in her first three starts of the year; not the greatest surprise if she did so again (had excuses last time). |

On a long losing run but she has run some fair races in defeat this year; more minor money perhaps her best hope. |

Four wins last year included one over C&D; enough good runs this year to bring her right into the reckoning. |

4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Not far behind Spartan Fighter here last month and now 11lb better off; not so good at Southwell last time when the cheekpieces were left off; headgear back on today. |
6/1 |
|
9th 8 (8) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Often slowly away, as when winning over C&D last February; three 6f runs since October have all been creditable and the step back up in trip could give him a lift. |
8/1 |

2 (10) |
18th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Three AW wins, the most recent over 7f at Southwell in February; respectable fourth, running on, over C&D last time when back from layoff; in the mix. |

Close second in a 6f course classified last month but not in the same form at Southwell twice since, taking her record to 2-39; Liam Bailey in form but others are still preferred |
12/1 |

11th 6 (12) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner two years ago but that remains her last success; close second at this level at Newcastle last month (6f) but faded into sixth over C&D a fortnight ago; capable of a prominent showing. |
7/1 |

6th 5 (6) |
24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Won a C&D fillies' handicap in March 2024; hasn't won since, but was a creditable second in a 6f classified at Newcastle last week; has an each-way chance back up in trip. |

9st 4lb |
Has done all his winning over C&D, most recently off 4lb higher in February; midfield in the latest of his two starts since returning from summer break; good chance if staging a full revival. |
14/1 |

9th 4 (8) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Five-time 7f winner here and on his last winning mark (February); wasn't in great form back in the spring but has gone well after a break. |
16/1 |

8th 4 (7) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Five-time 7f winner here (well suited by a good test over that trip) who's currently 0-17 over C&D; patchy since a win here off 1lb lower in February and others have more pressing claims. |

Finished off strongly for third in a 6f handicap at Newcastle last February; has a chance if near that level but her return to action in January was a low-key one. |
