9st 9lb |
Seven Newcastle wins last year, latterly off 8lb higher; didn't shape with obvious promise when sixth back on AW at Southwell latest but the second/third from that race have won since and he could revive back here. |

26th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Seven Newcastle wins to his name last year (fine here too), latterly off 6lb higher; will appreciate the return to Tapeta, having been cut a bit of slack by the handicapper following a few runs on turf; one to consider. |

13th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Soft ground was probably against him on latest outing; won six times on AW last year and, although he's taken minor honours on all three starts at this track, including two this summer, he does not look the percentage call with his 1-27 strike-rate on turf. |

Should be making a big impact off this mark and although he has been a shade underwhelming on turf this summer he has too much ability to leave out of calculations at this level. |

Into the veteran stage but he retains enthusiasm and ran well when a close third at Newcastle on last month's return to action (5f); stopped quickly back there 12 days ago and today's trip is a major query. |

Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |

15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |

Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |

Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |

2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

Back-to-back wins on good ground over 5f at Navan and Down Royal in summer of 2024; not been close to that form over last two years and continues to slide in the weights. |

Won here over 5f two years ago on fast ground, later winning at Down Royal (both times for today's rider); lightly raced in recent years, entitled to come on for last month's Naas comeback run. |

Won the corresponding race 12 months ago off a 2lb higher mark; came into that race in good form, however, whereas this time around he was a remote last of seven at Beverley; revival not impossible but others are more solid; stable also run Lion's House. |
