1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran well in a higher level on the AW two weeks ago (125-1) and that was after a lengthy break; might be sharper this time and has competitive form here off this sort of mark. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Generally struggled early in the year and returns from a break of five months; wins have all come after a recent outing and does most of his racing at a lower level now, so has a bit to overcome. |

Good third over a mile here last month but he failed to back it up over that same distance 11 days ago; perhaps vulnerable once again. |

8th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Has shown most of his handicap form over 7f, winning twice on AW; however, both 2026 efforts suggest this return to 6f is worth exploring; effective on turf and he's on a handy mark. |

19th May 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Sole win in 7f AW novice; has run respectably over this trip on grass but no soft-ground form to speak of and others are more likely to handle the conditions; first-time tongue-tie latest, now discarded. |
25/1 |
|
9th 9 (2) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Her only win came over C&D and she made a pleasing return from three months off at Pontefract in June (6f, good); another break to contend with this time and connections now turn to a tongue-tie. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Well treated on old form but last win was two years ago and she's not posed a threat in her three runs this season; now drops back into a Class 6 event but she needs to find some extra spark. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Another seemingly exposed sort to be galvanised by a move to James Owen, winning fast-ground handicaps here (7f), Yarmouth (1m) and Newmarket (7f); beaten favourite at Chepstow last time when running off a 9lb lower mark than today's; drops back to 6f with her hood discarded. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (1) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has been flying since joining this yard (231211), her last two wins coming in this headgear combination with Mason Paetel aboard; races off a 5lb lower mark than when landing a Newmarket apprentice handicap (7f, good to firm) a week ago (9lb well in) and should take all the beating. |
4/7 |

1st 1 (7) |

Has been revitalised since joining this yard with form figures of 23121; latest win came in this headgear combination at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) last Wednesday; drop back to 7f is no problem and she's a leading candidate under the penalty. |

Dual course winner (6f/7f) and 3lb lower than when successful at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) last September, but he can't be entertained on his performances in the meantime. |

Winner of 13 races and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but quiet in two starts at Southwell (6f, AW) since returning in February; needs to step up. |

9st 11lb |
Battled well to win from the front over C&D (good) 17 days ago, his second success this season; ought to give another good account but recent 2lb nudge could be enough to leave him vulnerable. |
6/1 |

1st 1 (1) |
4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Recorded his seventh win, at Salisbury (6f, good) in May off 3lb lower and has performed with credit on his last two starts; cheekpieces return although he has never won in them; has won off higher marks than this and should run his race. |
11/4 |

3rd 2 (7) |
15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

His heyday was two winters back but he still won last July (1m1f on turf) and is often thereabouts, including on Tapeta; not totally ruled out despite the 106-day absence. |

18th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 6 |

Landed a sixth success when winning a 12-runner handicap at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in July; kept at in when fourth at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) under a penalty six days later and excuses both starts since; very much respected. |

3rd 4 (9) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner off 11lb higher last spring whose mark tumbled on the AW over the winter; back in form when second to Dion Baker here last time, in headgear (retained) for the first time in two years, and a 7lb swing entitles him to at least close the gap. |

2nd 6 (7) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |

First visit here proved a winning one when taking handicap over this trip (good to firm) last May; flopped on his second go one month later and only bits and pieces of form since; career-low mark and cheekpieces (0-3) make a return after two-year absence. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

C&D winner who bounced right back to form when second of ten back here eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that but stall 13 is far from ideal. |

2nd 8 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Three Tapeta wins, including C&D; recent form figures not inspiring but she didn't run too badly when sixth of 14 over C&D on her first run back from wind surgery and an excuse emerged last time (reportedly lost action). |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a long losing run in a classified event at Ffos Las (7.3f, good) in June but he was a remote third there (1m) last time; that was a tough task behind a handicap blot but he's not easy to predict and his two runs on slow ground have been underwhelming. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Bagged a pair of 6f handicaps at Catterick and Epsom in early summer; comes here on the back of a very good nose second of eight in 6f Epsom handicap a week ago; another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark. |
100/30 |

2nd 2 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Began this season with two wins, latterly when holding on by a short head to make all over C&D (good) in early July; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but returns here after a respectable eighth of 26 at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago. |
5/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Reappeared with a win at Catterick (6f, good) in April and then made all at Epsom (6f, good) this month; faded late on to finish sixth of seven at Hamilton since but he can be made to look well treated on the Epsom form (beat Amazing Journey) and his yard is no stranger to sprint handicap success at this meeting. |
