27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
On a 16-race losing run but down the weights as a result and he was on the heels of the winner when third of 12 at Thirsk (7f) 11 days ago; having his first race here; thereabouts if he takes to it. |
9/2 |

3rd 14 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 8lb |
On a 15-race losing run but he's well handicapped as a result and his stable is in fine form; almost certainly needed the run when seventh of 13 over C&D four weeks ago, fading; likely to build on that and more persuasive than most. |
12/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Failed to win in 2025 but he ran some solid races in defeat and he makes his seasonal return off a dangerous mark; interesting to see how he fares in the betting. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
2-2 over C&D, with the most recent of those wins coming last May off the same mark as today; solid efforts on the AW when last seen and he's since undergone wind surgery for the second time; contender back at this track. |
9/1 |
|
5 (4) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 5-20 and his last success was off a similar mark in May; didn't shine at Newcastle last time but that was a muddling race and he didn't get much luck over C&D (close third) on his penultimate run; has claims if he can recapture that form and he's an interesting contender. |
5/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Good strike-rate and confirmed his wellbeing when keeping on well for third at Chelmsford last week, meeting trouble and nearest at the finish; closely matched with Riot, who also had a miserable trip through that Chelmsford event, and he shaped well in one previous run on Tapeta. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Kempton (7f, AW) in February and has a lower turf mark; however, well beaten on his last two starts, most recently at Ascot, and this 9yo is now 0-23 on grass; others are preferred. |
16/1 |

3 (12) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Five-time winner on Kempton AW, most recently in February (below par there since); has form over C&D but the 9yo is 0-22 on turf and not the percentage call. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

On a career-high mark but he won well from the front at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in November when last seen and may remain competitive; dual scorer on turf and doesn't necessarily need to dominate. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner for Hugo Palmer (6f/7f); third the best he managed for Robert Eddery; failed to see out 1m in two previous attempts so looks best watched on debut for John Butler, who runs two others, back from 292 days off. |
20/1 |
|
13th 12 (3) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two AW wins when trained by Hugo Palmer; he has found the handicapper in command since joining this stable and although his penultimate third at Yarmouth was better, he doesn't look the obvious answer here; stable also run Spring Bloom. |
33/1 |
|
5 (4) |
25th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Not totally solid on his form for current yard but has possibilities off current mark provided latest effort (third at Yarmouth) is backed up; well treated on peak figures. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner who has finished placed over C&D in his last two starts; drawn out wide this time but he's tactically versatile and remains feasibly treated off his last winning mark; in the mix. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 10 (3) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has done most of his winning over 7f, most recently off current mark at Kempton in January; however, posted best effort since when keeping-on third over C&D last time; fighting chance. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 (5) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Returned from a break to win a 7f handicap here, his third course success, in January; not in the same form since but he is now back to his last winning mark. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Stays 1m but all eight of his wins have come over 7f, the latest at Kempton 18 days ago; should get a good pace to aim at and he holds each-way claims again. |
11/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Well held after a slow start here (1m) 12 days ago but that was after two solid placed efforts at Lingfield (7f/1m); losing run is now up to 15 but he's on a dangerous mark and could get involved if he gets a good pace and some luck; cheekpieces removed. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Out of the frame in her last ten starts, but is 4lb lower than when making all over C&D this time last year; by no means written off. |
11/1 |
|
5th 6 (5) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Her four wins have included one over this C&D (good to soft) and she's now 1lb below the most recent of those successes; left the impression her first start for 192 days was needed when weakening at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago and she should appreciate this drop in grade; contender. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up three times in a row over 7f on AW in the winter and returned to form with a win at Kempton (7f, AW) last month; unproven over 6f and 0-10 on turf, but placed on grass a few times and is not ruled out. |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Often placed but has never passed the post first in any of his 23 starts, his sole success courtesy of the stewards; return to this trip should suit, but others preferred for win purposes. |

Well treated on his warm spell (finishing positions 112) last summer; not in anything like the same form this year for new yard, however, and is best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

11th 9 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Two 7f wins for Mick Appleby last summer; back to his last winning mark but that is a result of showing little in three starts for current connections; only of interest if attracting support. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |

Three wins last year, at 6f and 7f; needs to get himself back on track and this is only his second attempt at 5f. |
8/1 |
|
8th 1 (7) |
29th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On the back foot early due to issues at the start a couple of times of late but has also disappointed; weighted to go well if Oliver Hoodless, who rode a 33-1 winner in February, can get a good tune out of him. |
12/1 |
|
8th 5 (10) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Not much has gone to plan since the turn of the year and he's drawn wide today but he moves back up to his optimum trip after two 6f runs (lost ground at the start both times) and is well handicapped if judged on his 7f Wolverhampton form from the autumn. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Strike-rate of 6-16 so he knows how to win and only 3lb higher than for his half-length reappearance success at Kempton (7f, AW); every chance. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won four on turf last spring/summer (7f-1m), climbing the weights by more than a stone, before losing his way latterly; resumes 4lb above his highest successful mark, back from seven months off, but this is easier back on the AW (won his nursery here). |
6/1 |
|
9th 10 (5) |
28th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Had initial form figures of 11211 (including C&D win) since his return in April but he's gone off the boil on last two starts; handicapper may have finally got him for now. |
