16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his seven wins have come over C&D; successful off this mark at Wolverhampton in March but not in the same form in four runs since; others look more persuasive. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and has remained in good form since; only faded out of contention in closing stages when fifth over C&D (good to soft; behind Too Much Trevor and Connie's Rose) last week and ought to be better suited by today's faster ground; one to consider. |

10th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Several good runs in Class 6 turf events this summer, winning at Chepstow (7f, good) in August; not at her best last time and others look stronger. |
10/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Had been threatening for a while before winning for Taryn Langley over 7f here, back in the cheekpieces, off 4lb lower 11 days ago; there's little wiggle room off this mark but the extra furlong's fine round a course she likes, and she's a player. |

14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Largely consistent mare who was placed over 1m here (good to firm) last month and went down fighting when very close second to Romanovich over C&D (good) a fortnight later; wears headgear for first time since 2023; likely to make her presence felt again. |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Pulled hard and didn't see it out on his hurdling debut last month; two wins for Roger Teal came in the spring but it's hard to find many other positives on this Tapeta debut in a first-time tongue-tie. |
25/1 |

6th 3 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Fair performer at his best in 23-race Flat career (most for Roger Teal; two runs for this yard) which includes two 1m wins; hooded on latest outing and today; probably best watched on hurdles debut. |
20/1 |

5th 7 (10) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Never landed a blow at Lingfield (1m2f) on stable/seasonal debut but may fare better with that outing under his belt; has gained both turf wins over 1m and produced his best AW effort over C&D; hood applied. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Plenty of near-misses before finally off the mark over 5f at Bath four weeks ago; the cheekpieces have had a positive effect and the extra furlong looks fine; upped 5lb; needs considering. |
6/1 |

1st 4 (15) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Is 0-18 but she arrives in good nick, cheekpieces fitted when fourth of 13 in 6f Brighton handicap 15 days ago; not out of things with headgear retained. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-17 record includes a near miss over 7f last summer and two over 6f early this year; Windsor 6f fourth three weeks ago confirms her place claims but it's not surprising that connections now reach for cheekpieces. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Winner here early in the year who's been held a few times since; running in a sprint for just the second time and, for all that she's a keen-goer, whether she'll have the required toe round here is the question. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 (6) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
2-21; said to have "benefited for the break" when returning to spring a 16-1 surprise at Lingfield (7f, Class 6) in January; wasn't far off those same levels when fourth (beaten 3l) back there next time but latest Kempton effort was only a modest one. |
8/1 |
|
8th 1 (13) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Reappeared to win Lingfield handicap in January and respectable third of eight back there (also 7f) since; the widest stall could be tricky but she brings much more compelling form claims than most. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time 7f winner, the latest when getting first run on Dream Illusion at Haydock 17 days ago; couldn't cope with a penalty at Chester one week later but she races off 3lb lower today; has the ability to feature but she hasn't shone in previous Leicester runs. |
5/1 |
|
4th 7 (3) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Returned to form with win at Haydock (7f, good) one week ago, despite racing a bit too freely and encountering some traffic; 5lb penalty and due to go up only 2lb but suited by this C&D and can pose a threat. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 (7) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won over C&D last July and back on the scoresheet at Wolverhampton in February; however, her three runs on turf this summer haven't been great. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Enjoying a fine season and his fifth win (including over C&D) of the campaign came at Wolverhampton (7f) two days ago when completing a quick hat-trick; leading claims turned out under a 5lb penalty. |
6/5 |
|
1st 3 (2) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Arrives seeking a hat-trick after 7f turf wins at Musselburgh (good) and Catterick (good to firm), the latter with ease and his best effort for almost two years; still well treated on this first AW start since March and a repeat of either of his last two efforts would make him tough to beat. |
6/5 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Hamilton (5f, good) in May and he was back on the scoresheet at Musselburgh (7f, good) last Tuesday, making virtually all under Jack Nicholls; yard continues in flying form and he's respected under a penalty. |
