10st 0lb |
Now 2lb lower than when keeping on well for close second behind course specialist in quite valuable Brighton Mile this summer, but recent Tapeta form has been underwhelming and he remains without a win since 2023. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Three-time winner, the most recent coming at Carlisle (1m, good to firm) in June 2024; placed in each of his last four starts, albeit he was below his best last time, and once again has an each-way chance. |
7/2 |

3rd 7 (1) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Last of his three wins came over C&D (good to firm) just over two years ago but he arrives off the back of three solid placed efforts, including when second over C&D ten days ago; mark is creeping back up but he needs considering. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 7 (6) |
24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four runs here have yielded two seconds and a win in this race in 2024; down the field in last year's renewal but after some modest efforts he's rediscovered his level of late, going close at Hamilton last month and finishing a close third at Ripon three weeks ago; yard going well and he's in the mix again. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Good C&D record includes a win in this race (good to firm) off 1lb higher last year; good second at Southwell (7f) in January but always behind over C&D four months later; may well have needed that outing but needed to see more to be confident. |
14/1 |
|
21th 14 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Most of his 14 races at York have been over 7f, including wins in this race in 2024 and another last June; absent since second on AW in January and that's the longest break he's had for two years, which asks a question, but he has to be considered off his last winning mark. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Easy to make a case on last year's peak form but signed off with two quiet runs and now back from three months off; not without hope if the break has done him good; has form here. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
8yo who capitalised on a reduced mark to win over C&D (good) last month before 7l second to easy winner in amateur jockeys' race at Pontefract (1m2f, good); he's not ruled out back here. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Ripon (1m2f, good) last time, recording first win since 2024; no spring chicken, being an 8yo, but he's technically still unexposed over this trip and remains well treated on historical data; should remain competitive. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No win since August 2024, and he's yet to score beyond 7.5f, with a Flat record of 0-5 at 8.5f plus; this easing mark is helpful though, and he wasn't too far behind the reopposing King Of Fury at Carlisle (1m1f, soft; 6-1) ten days ago; stablemate of the veteran Poets Dawn. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth and fifth in his two big-field C&D races last term; Newcastle win in March ensures a career-high mark today but it's hard to judge him harshly on last week's C&D result as he didn't see daylight at various stages. |
20/1 |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Couple of sound performances on Newcastle AW this year, winning over 7f latest; back on career-high mark but he's a five-time turf scorer who has form over C&D and appears to hold solid claims. |
10/1 |

1st 11 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Spring has been quite a productive time for him which provides hope that he can build on a promising reappearance third over 6f here 15 days ago; has raced mainly at 7f/1m in recent years so the step back up in trip should help if anything. |

Back in form and threatening to regain the winning thread, having finished a creditable second in last two starts, latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) on Oaks day; back up another 2lb but can't be ruled out. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 16 (12) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Acts on soft going; picked up a maiden here (7f, good) in July 2024 on his debut; fair run of form last year came to a crashing halt when virtually tailed off over C&D (good to soft) in September; subsequently gelded and he was back to near his best when second of 13 at Thirsk (1m, good) last time; far from dismissed. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |

Often leads; won this race (soft) off this mark last year but his form has dipped noticeably since two creditable thirds in June; last time's Racing League appearance can be forgiven, however, and he's not totally dismissed back here. |

Kicked off this campaign with two wins in a row (7f, good to soft/AW) before solid second at Newmarket (1m, good); didn't run badly in mid-division in Class 2 at Epsom (8.5f, good to soft) last time and he could be in the mix back down in grade. |

Acts on soft ground; better than ever this season, winning at Doncaster (good to soft) and following up at Southwell (again 7f, AW); solid second to Sterling Knight (1m, good) last time but he'll need more from the same mark. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |

Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Still capable of winning off 30lb higher exactly two years ago, but basically consistent at a lower level these days, and still well suited by a galloping turf track; this step up to 1m4f looks long overdue. |

8yo who has been beaten on his last 17 starts going back to October 2023 but he's been runner-up on his last two outings (1m, good/soft), most recently here when beaten a neck; he should be fine now back up to 1m2f and he has a strong record here; could be thereabouts. |

Beaten 17 times since she last won, here (1m1f, good to soft) in September 2024; however, she's run a lot of good races in the meantime and was third of nine at Carlisle (1m, soft) recently; might not be far away. |
