2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All five wins have been on the AW, the latest over 9.5f here in March last year; placed in a seller (9.5f) and a handicap (1m4f) here in April; poor run back on turf after a break last time; blinkers replace visor. |

7th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
On lengthy losing run but he's been placed at Wolverhampton (9.4f/1m4f) in last two starts and three of his five wins have come over C&D; has each-way claims again back at this track. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Handy sort; has done most of his winning at Chelmsford, but he does act here (244232172); hasn't had many goes over this far, but finished second of 11 in his only previous attempt over C&D; interesting back up in trip at this level. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last month, but has run well off this mark and higher in her two outings since; has finished first and second in his two starts under Myla Coppins; stable also runs Dogged; major player. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning two races at about 1m3f (firm and good to firm); had a 7lb higher mark to contend with when outpointed back at Bath since but the winner wasn't badly treated on past Flat form and autumn hurdle wins; now 3lb lower; major player. |

Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected. |

All five of his wins have come over C&D, the latest in April off 4lb lower; absent since a modest effort here in June but he has gone well fresh in the past. |

10th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Not the easiest but he does like this track (all five wins have come over C&D) and he again ran well when beaten half a length by Educate here six weeks ago; 2lb better off and this race may be more truly run which should suit him; respected. |

21st Apr 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Missed the whole of 2023 but has been consistent in handicaps since last summer; didn't enjoy a clear run when third of six over C&D last month, but was still well held and that didn't really prove her stamina. |

Lightly raced for her age; proving consistent for this yard, again making the frame when fourth of seven over 9.4f here in January; chance hinges on her staying this much longer trip (some encouragement from pedigree). |

Now at the veteran stage but has won five times and been placed on nine occasions around here; twice finished runner-up in similar events over C&D at the start of the year and another big effort seems likely. |

25th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time Tapeta winner who has finished runner-up in classified events at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in his last two starts; still looks feasibly treated back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can transfer his form back to Polytrack. |

Second of 12 on her second start for Charlie Fellowes at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) in November 2023, but showed nothing in five outings after reappearing a year ago; changed hands for 15,000gns in October and has plenty to prove upped in trip on stable/Tapeta debut after eight months off. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Back to form in refitted cheekpieces lately and has been placed on her last three starts; should be thereabouts once again. |

2nd 5 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Back in form since returned to cheekpieces of late, latterly when beaten a nose by Belle Of Kt at Bath a fortnight ago; 6lb better off with her old rival and her last win came round here off 3lb higher, so there are reasons for optimism. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Seven wins at up to 1m4f; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over this far and not very reliable nowadays but gave pretty good account when third in refitted cheekpieces here (11.6f, firm) 16 days ago. |

Kept on for third at Worcester (2m, good) in August and should be fine over today's longer trip, but was well beaten (albeit in a higher-grade race) at Chepstow last week and has become unreliable. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |

8st 9lb |
Scored at Bath in May and was one of two to pull clear of the others when close second of four off today's mark at Nottingham (also 1m6f, good to firm) last month; didn't fire on latest outing but this drop back in trip won't be a problem if he's back on song. |

His six wins, including two here, have all been gained over further; won at Redcar (2m) on his penultimate start and his latest fifth over 1m6f wasn't a bad effort; this is winnable if he handles the drop back in trip. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 218y Class 6 |

Beat his three rivals fairly comfortably when back on turf here (2m, good to firm) three weeks ago and is evidently in good nick but a recent 4lb rise might be enough to leave this 10yo vulnerable. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 217y Class 6 |

A four-time scorer (including here in 2025); in good nick without winning this season, finding drop to 1m4f against him when a staying-on sixth of 12 at Newcastle last time; this veteran needs considering back up in trip. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
0-24 on the Flat and 0-5 over hurdles; not seen over jumps since 38l defeat in 2m2f handicap here in October and his tendency to race too freely is always a worry. |
