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 |

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. |
7/2 |

2nd 4 (6) |
9th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

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. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Returned from break with 1m4f AW win in February, but didn't fire when back on turf this month and her tendency to race too freely is always a worry; others appeal more. |

11th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner who has finished fourth and first in two C&D starts, latterly when making all last August (good to firm); has added two more wins since, on turf and AW, most recently in February, and while not obviously ahead of her mark she shouldn't be far away. |

11st 12lb |
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 |

Versatile 8yo who is not very consistent but ran fairly well in first-time cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month and is now only 2lb higher than when winning over fences at Southwell (2m, good) in the autumn. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |

Kept to AW in the main nowadays and winless since last March; however, he ran well last August when he last tackled turf and the return of cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may well be in his favour; also has a first-time tongue-tie; could be involved. |

Won on fast ground last May at Salisbury (1m6f) and Bath (11.5f); tailed off later that month but his recent reappearance here was a step back in the right direction; each-way claims if he's come on from that run. |

10yo whose easily most successful season was 2025, with four wins; the latest was at this track (2m) in December and he's held his form, including over C&D, so has each-way claims once again. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
