11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material. |
20/1 |

4th 7 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
Below par on AW last time; largely respectable form on turf otherwise this season, notably Windsor success in August; possibly has very little in hand off current mark, however. |
14/1 |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark. |

Ex-Henry de Bromhead; Ffos Las winner for current yard in June last year (1m, good to soft), but has beaten just two horses home in his two runs this term. |
50/1 |
|
11th 1 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
In fine form last summer, scoring at Ffos Las (1m) and signing off with an excellent second over 1m2f here; set a lot to do on his return from eight months off when tenth in 7f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; should strip sharper now and he's very much one to consider back up in trip. |
8/1 |

Did well once cheekpieces were added last summer, winning at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) and in the frame on four other occasions; can get it wrong at the start and that may be an issue dropping back to 7f. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable third in both starts since making a successful reappearance; remains in form but is getting no respite from the assessor, as another 1lb rise reflects; has done all her winning off marks in the 60s. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Course winner who made a successful reappearance at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April and again ran well to finish third of seven in a 0-90 back there last month (fourth and fifth won next time); up another 1lb, but still of serious interest back at this level and has won over this trip on the AW. |
4/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Now 311 over C&D after beating four rivals with ease a month ago (good); this 5lb higher mark has proved troublesome in the past but those runs were elsewhere. |

Registered his last win off 1lb higher at Windsor a year ago; consistent since, mostly making the frame; successful in two of his last three attempts in Class 5; solid claims back down in grade. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Four-time winner who seems fine on any ground and wouldn't be far away with a repeat of his second at Nottingham (1m6f, good), though he didn't appear to run to the same level here a month ago. |
6/1 |
|
6th 8 |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time winner who last scored over 1m2f at Windsor (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in July; runner-up over C&D in October, however, and confirmed this trip holds no fears when second again at Nottingham (also good) 18 days ago; player. |

13th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark fitted with cheekpieces for the first time at Redcar in July (1m2f, good); hasn't built on that win in three runs since and hopes appear to rest on new headgear piquing his interest. |
10/1 |
|
8 (4) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
0-2 on the AW but hasn't performed badly; it was over this trip when successful at Redcar in July (first-time cheekpieces; 3lb lower) and his subsequent fifths were fairly close ones; each-way claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 7 (1) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt when landing a C&D handicap (good; first-time cheekpieces) in July; held in fifth of 12 at Windsor last time but he was only beaten around 2l and that was a a creditable effort in a Racing League event; should go well again and he's in the mix. |

2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple turf winner at up to 11.5f; less effective on AW surfaces but her best such effort was when last tried at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in May; if able to repeat that form she would have claims from this 5lb lower mark but she's not easy to predict. |
12/1 |
|
10th 2 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1m2f win here in April in a consistent season, bar one blip; raced freely in the lead when she last tried this sort of trip (penultimate start) but she did well over 11.4f on soft when held up last October; each-way player. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Bar one blip she's been running well for George Scott and won over this trip at Haydock in April off the very same mark; last two runs weren't bad at all, having not got the run of things at Ripon and she raced freely when third at Catterick (1m4f). |

14th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Exposed six-time winner who has performed moderately in her last two races over 1m; on the plus side, she hasn't had many chances at 7f over which she was a close fourth on her comeback. |
14/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Two of her four wins have came at this track, one over today's distance; fourth in both starts this year but may be vulnerable to younger rivals. |
6/1 |
|
4th 8 (12) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Gained last season's win over 1m2f and made an encouraging reappearance when finishing strongly for close fourth over 7f at Chepstow (good to soft) last month; sure to be suited by this move back up in trip and remains on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap. |
100/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Had a lot of racing but she arrives here in a fine run of form and kept on well for second in a Class 4 at Chester four weeks ago (good); effective on good to soft; chance. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Led close home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and has held her form well since (7f-9.4f); should be fine back on turf but current mark demands a career-best performance on this first attempt at 1m4f. |

Six-race maiden who has shown bits of promise; never figured last time, however, and needs some improvement to get off the mark. |
14/1 |

9th 12 (1) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Made some late headway into fourth on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) and again failed to land a telling blow from off the pace at Wolverhampton (8.6f); still early days in handicaps and now tries cheekpieces over a trip that could suit. |
12/1 |

5th 9 (6) |
31st Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |

Unexposed sort who made some late headway into fourth on his handicap debut at Yarmouth (7f, good) two weeks ago; going back up in trip should suit and he's an interesting contender. |

Only 1-11 on the Flat but won his final race for Jane Chapple Hyam, over 1m2f on the AW in January; quite useful in that scene and changed hands for 82,000gns; now gelded. |

9st 9lb |
0-8; second of 10 at Doncaster (1m2f, good) in July but below that level since, including when third of four over 1m2f here five weeks ago; the first-time visor needs to spark him back up. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
18th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Seven-race maiden; posted best form when close second in Class 4 Doncaster handicap (1m2f, good) in July and has good claims if judged on that performance but dropped out as though something was amiss at Windsor last month; cheekpieces removed after one use; AW debut. |
5/1 |

11th 10 (2) |
14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

No wins in six but a three-time runner-up and only narrowly missed out last time at Doncaster (1m2f, good); 2lb higher here but cheekpieces might give her a lift. |

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. |
