1st 3 (20) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
All wins at 7f/1m but he was placed twice over 5f in Bahrain during the winter; met trouble when second favourite at Chester (extended 7f) on his return to Britain 17 days ago; harder to pin down than some of these and certainly not discounted. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All wins have been over 7f and 1m so it arguably bodes well for his prospects here that he's performed well over sprint trips in Bahrain this year; very good second in this race (good ground) last year from an outside stall and this front-runner has fared a lot better with the draw this time; top of the list. |
11/2 |

1st 6 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who has won three times this year and latest was over C&D in June; couldn't hang in there at Galway (sixth of 15) last time but that was a respectable effort from a tough draw and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous dropped back in grade. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f; first-time cheekpieces) last month and he followed up with a dominant display on his return visit two weeks later; 7lb higher here but he remains well handicapped on his old form including a win over C&D; key player. |
11/4 |
|
1st 4 (4) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Caught the eye on penultimate start; justified market support over C&D subsequently (in newly applied cheekpieces), that his first win since September 2023; a 4lb rise looks fair, so he's entitled to be on the premises assuming the headgear continues to have the desired effect. |
2/1 |

1st 6 (6) |
6th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
No win since September 2023 (1m, Kempton; from 9lb higher); caught the eye making late headway (sixth; 16-1) over 8.5f here seven weeks ago; interesting to see if added cheekpieces can instigate a revival; market helpful. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
13-race maiden who has form figures of 044487577 in handicaps; has dropped down the weights but slow starts have been a recurring theme and she never got involved on Redcar reappearance (7f, good to firm) last month; down the list. |
20/1 |

7th 14 (10) |
20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
She's shown ability and has dropped to a basement mark; however, her slow starts tend to be costly and she's 0-12; comes with risks attached on this first outing since last August. |
16/1 |

7th 4 (13) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

0-11; can be slowly away and did well in the circumstances when fifth of 14 here (7f, good to firm) last month; drops into her first classified and would have claims if getting out on terms. |

Ended 2024 with a pair of AW wins (1m/8.6f) and he hasn't been beaten far in three starts this year; more to prove on fast turf. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
2-2 over C&D, with the most recent of those wins coming last May off the same mark as today; solid efforts on the AW when last seen and he's since undergone wind surgery for the second time; contender back at this track. |
9/1 |
|
5 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-20 and his last success was off a similar mark in May; didn't shine at Newcastle last time but that was a muddling race and he didn't get much luck over C&D (close third) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good strike-rate and confirmed his wellbeing when keeping on well for third at Chelmsford last week, meeting trouble and nearest at the finish; closely matched with Riot, who also had a miserable trip through that Chelmsford event, and he shaped well in one previous run on Tapeta. |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

First piece of worthwhile form was her recent decisive win over C&D and can only presume the heavy ground made all the difference; penalised accordingly but unexposed under these conditions. |
