13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced as 2yo but was quick out of the blocks in the spring, winning twice on Tapeta (6f and 7f); has continued in form since and his recent sixth in a big field at York (7f, good; just behind Miss Collada) was encouraging; close up again. |

31st May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
A model of consistency in five runs to date, winning twice on AW (6f/7f) and forced to race wide when third of seven at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; should be in the thick of things again. |

22nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1-13 on turf but has performed well in stronger races than this in 2025, perhaps most notably when fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May; slightly disappointing when last in action but can cope with today's drop back to 6f and has slipped to a good mark. |
8/1 |

5th 8 (4) |
2nd Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
3yo who was a creditable fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Sandown when third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; could be thereabouts. |
9/2 |

21st Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Nursery win (AW) last backend came over 7f and she's run her last three races over that trip, but the drop back may help as she's often inclined to pull hard; capable of better. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) off 7lb lower in July; went close at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and a stumble at the start may have lit him up when midfield at Doncaster 12 days ago; career-high mark but he's not ruled out. |
12/1 |

8th 7 (6) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) in July; never got involved at Ripon next time but was clear of the rest when narrowly denied by an improver at Southwell (1m3f, AW) 11 days ago; due to be 3lb higher in future but slow ground would be a concern. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
C&D winner last July who's never run on the AW off a mark quite this high (been in good form on turf lately, including a Nottingham win off 5lb lower); needs to find a bit more again. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Following a two-month break he returned to form and landed a gamble in reapplied cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last Thursday; he's never finished better than seventh on turf and the surface switch is a concern, but he'll be tough to beat if reproducing anything like his latest form. |
4/6 |

30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Both wins have been over 6f at Kempton when trained by Heather Main; yet to build on his debut for this yard but is now down to a career-low mark; steps back up in trip and cheekpieces return (worn once previously). |

5th Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Disappointed at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) last month and had a wind operation three days later; has won over 6f but possible 7f suits better. |
20/1 |
|
9th 1 (2) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Successful over C&D on his seasonal/stable debut in April off a 2lb lower mark; similar form when fourth of ten here 81 days ago; can go well fresh and he is one to take seriously. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (8) |
16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Made a winning start for Michael Dods over C&D in April but he failed to beat a rival in 7f Mussleburgh handicap 26 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
12lb lower than when winning a three-runner affair over C&D (good to firm) for Alice Haynes just over a year ago, but hasn't been threatening to take advantage of her sliding mark including in three starts for this yard; look elsewhere. |
20/1 |
|
12th 5 (7) |
29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
6f win here as a 2yo; her only handicap win came in a three-runner affair at Chepstow (7f, good to firm) last summer; she hasn't found her best form in three runs since leaving Alice Haynes and cheekpieces are now reached for. |
16/1 |
|
6th 10 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |

C&D scorer for Alice Haynes last July; yet to fire for her new yard though in 1m handicaps at Kempton and Southwell in April; lots more is required. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win (from 19 attempts) came here (7f, good to firm) in May and he's finished runner-up on three of his last five starts, most recently at Hamilton (5f, soft) eight days ago; he could again be involved. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 6 (6) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Off the mark over 7f at Ayr (good to firm; probably handles soft) in May and mostly in good form since; not obviously ahead of his mark but Paul Mulrennan is back in the saddle and the drop to 5f is worth investigating. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Still a maiden but he has performed encouragingly in two runs, albeit both on Lingfield AW in December, since having wind surgery; returns to turf for this reappearance. |
10/1 |
|
6th 11 (4) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Still a maiden after 15 starts but he's well treated on his peak form and was best of the rest behind Harryella over C&D 13 days off; has a big swing in the weights with his old rival and could be dangerous if he can back that up. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 4 (10) |
26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
14-race maiden who has gone backwards since May, notably so the last twice, and can't be recommended at present; wore a visor latest start, which is ditched for this AW debut. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Won over 1m at Windsor in July and stepped up again returned to AW at Southwell last time; drops in trip but should give another good account. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 11 (9) |
2nd Sep 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Beat a subsequent maiden winner when off the mark at Windsor (1m; first-time blinkers) in July but her profile isn't particularly progressive and she has more to do in this company off a 4lb higher mark. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Six-race maiden who has worn various headgear since handicapping, producing form figures of 548; the switch to a tongue-tie needs to prompt progress. |
16/1 |
|
11 (4) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Big prices and well held in both handicaps at about 1m this spring, on AW and at Doncaster but the return to 7f, even if it's a stiff one, looks the way to go; has worn other forms of headgear, visored this time. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Running consistently off his higher AW mark (almost a stone lower on turf), including for new yard five weeks ago; has only gone beyond 1m once before, though, and the longer trip on grass is the double concern. |
8/1 |
|
7th 8 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Tapeta win early last year came off 5lb lower and he's looked to find this mark just beyond him this season; needs a career-best effort for his new yard, having been picked up from Brian Meehan recently for £12,500. |
