16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Eight C&D wins, the most recent off current mark in August; not in the same form since and was behind a few of today's rivals last time. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 5 |

Has struggled on his last three starts but always a force to be reckoned with at this track having registered an eighth win here on his last visit in August (1m, good; ridden by Oliver Carmichael); only 2lb higher. |

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. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Has only won a novice when aged two; has threatened in handicaps from 7f to 1m3f but now has to get himself back on track after three lesser shows. |
20/1 |
|
12th 1 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 1 (1) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Sole win was in a Haydock novice two years ago; plenty of good runs for new yard this season but he was disappointing at Windsor on Saturday and needs to bounce back on this quick turnaround. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Gelded before winning at Windsor (good to firm) last May and finished that season with further wins at Sandown (also 1m, soft) and Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm); on the premises when he suffered chance-ending interference at Newbury last time and this tactically versatile sort is well drawn to sit handy; interesting. |
13/2 |
|
5th 13 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Won three of his seven handicaps (1m-1m1f) last term, including the last two; just fourth of 13 to Spanish Voice when favourite at Newmarket on reappearance but that was respectable; player on peak 2025 effort. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
On a roll when last seen, winning at Sandown (1m, soft) and on this course (1m1f, good to firm) in second half of last season; that form looks solid and he's been nudged up only 3lb for the second success; leading claims if ready to roll after seven months off. |

7/2 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Best known as a Brighton specialist but also runs this track well; needs to rebound from disappointing C&D run four weeks ago but looked in good nick when scoring at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) in June; shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
7th 1 (8) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Five-time winner who has been placed in half of his six visits here, including when third in this race in 2024; carries a 5lb penalty for winning at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but Toby Moore's 7lb claim will aid his bid to go back-to-back; considered. |

9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner who has finished second four consecutive (twice over C&D on good to firm) since swapping cheekpieces for blinkers in May; likely to be right in the thick of things again. |
15/8 |
|
2nd 8 (6) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins have been over 7f/1m on good/good to firm at Brighton; has finished second over 7f/1m there in blinkers on last three runs; each-way chance. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 7f/1m here; runner-up in his last two starts back at this venue including when beaten half a length by Dion Baker eight days ago; a 4lb pull plus Jack Callan's 3lb claim gives him every chance of reversing the form. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Placed in two of his last three starts (1m2f/1m3f, AW) for this yard and he won on good to soft at Goodwood (1m) last June for the Moores; tackles stiffer opposition this time but can't be ruled out. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 (2) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent gelding who's with his third yard; better effort at Lingfield in February but gave himself no chance of seeing out 1m4f on his first crack at beyond 1m2f latest thanks to pulling hard; needs to settle early if he's to have a chance. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
On same mark as for his Goodwood win (1m) for Gary and Josh Moore last summer; made a low-key start for new yard last month but he returned to form with a creditable third here (1m2f) last time; was strong at the finish in that race and he's in the mix at this new trip. |

|
3 (4) |
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. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Brings good stats as he's 2-3 since wearing cheekpieces and gained those wins over C&D (good/good to firm) to take his Epsom record to 2311; respected in the retained headgear. |
2/1 |
|
4 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 113y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring over C&D (cheekpieces added) last month but he finished ninth of 12 in his follow-up bid at Brighton; now drops back in grade but he's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached. |
13/2 |
|
9th 11 (7) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole run here wasn't his best at two but that was on soft; resurgent the last twice, a close third (good) followed by a stylish win (also Epsom, 8.5f; good to firm) last month in first-time cheekpieces; seems to love that track which bodes well for Brighton; back up 5lb which looks perfectly fair. |

24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Prominent racer; the pick of his form in the first half of the year brings him right into the reckoning but more recent efforts haven't quite been at that level; dropping into a Class 6 will help. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 209y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on his wins at Bath (1m2f) and Epsom (8.5f) last year, but he hasn't threatened back on the Flat in his last two starts; needs to raise his game and it would be a concern if rain arrives (all wins have been on good/good to firm). |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
10th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Pretty consistent on the Flat and over hurdles this year and has dropped 1lb since his recent fourth at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm); visor (worn for last four races) is left off here; probably won't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Scored over 8.5f here (good) last summer and kept on for respectable fourth at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) on latest Flat start in May; returns to this code on a workable mark and after a recent second over hurdles; likely contender. |

3rd Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wore visor the last twice, winning at Salisbury (1m) then leaving the impression something was amiss at Brighton; has form on AW and, assuming he's back on song, could go well switched to blinkers. |
13/2 |
|
12th 8 (10) |
6th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Had gone close a couple of times before making his breakthrough at the ninth attempt when scoring at Salisbury (1m, good to firm) 42 days ago; first-time visor likely helped that day and he needs a bit more back up 3lb. |
11/2 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Eight-race maiden despite his many minor honours; 1m2f back on AW for latest outing did not work out and he finished just behind Invincible Duke at Goodwood (1m) the time before despite less trouble in running; frustrating sort who now sports headgear for the first time. |
