4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Four-time winner who acts on most surfaces and was very consistent on turf (6f/7f) last term; opened this year's account when making all in amateur riders' race over C&D (good to soft) under Amy Collier last month; not far off that form when fourth off this mark a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts. |

Back to winning ways in 6f Carlisle handicap 11 days ago, cosily making all; up 4lb but this dual course scorer must enter calculations. |

All three wins have been at 7f, although has plenty of good runs at 6f; good third to a subsequent winner at Redcar last time (6f, good); should go well. |

Close second at Southwell three weeks ago on her first attempt at 7f (cheekpieces first time, retained); that form isn't working out though and others appeal more for win purposes. |

21st Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Maiden; picked up for 1,000gns out of Eve Johnson Houghton's yard in January; sent off favourite when third in C&D handicap on last week's stable debut (took keen hold); had been off for 55 days; may build on that but he carried his head high under pressure so doesn't look one to trust; maybe the refitted tongue-tie will help. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-9 for Eve Johnston Houghton, one his best efforts when fourth of 11 over C&D in November; changed hands for 1,000gns last month and improvement needed on debut for David Evans; no headgear today. |
12/1 |

8th 9 (3) |
21st Dec 2024 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Still a maiden but this keen-going sort was fitted with cheekpieces when an encouraging fourth of 11 on his Tapeta debut at Southwell (7f) last month; he's one to consider eased 2lb now if his stamina holds out. |

Two wins for Peter Niven this year, the second of them a wide-margin success over C&D in April; unplaced in two turf runs for Roger Fell but could fare better back on AW. |

Two wins at around 1m on AW this year; 1-22 on turf but he was only beaten a short head at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April (his final start for Peter Niven); seventh of 12 in this grade at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) on stable debut 22 days ago; place chance. |

9st 8lb |
Two wins (0-65 and classified) to show from eight C&D starts, but has offered too little back here either side of March's Newcastle classified success and it's three years now since her most recent handicap score. |

Two-time C&D winner; off the mark for the year with a snug win in a 7f classified event at Newcastle 17 days ago, asserting in the final 100 yards; more on her plate back in a handicap but holds each-way claims. |

3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Two of her three wins have come on turf, but seen much more often on the AW these days; latest efforts have been respectable, but a losing run of 26 sounds a note of caution. |

Sprightly 9yo who completed a quick hat-trick of front-running C&D wins last month and lost out only by a neck off today's mark here on Wednesday; upped in grade but likely to give another good account. |

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. |

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. |

Low-level form in two runs on Tapeta in October (7f and 6f); improvement required and the stable may hold stronger claims with Popular Dream. |
