5th 9 (15) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including twice off higher marks in the month of April; unlucky third, having found daylight too late, in this race 12 months ago; soft ground was against him here last weekend; likely player if the cards drop right. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Below best on latest course start in October but has a strong C&D record otherwise, three wins include this race (good to soft) last year; now 2lb lower and primed for a good run if he avoids trouble in running. |
9/2 |
|
7th 10 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
4th 7 (6) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Strong at the finish when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; the subsequent 4lb rise looks less of a concern than the additional furlong. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |

Won for a second time at Epsom (6f) before a near miss over 5f at Doncaster (off this mark); faced a stiffer task here last time when never in with a shout. |
7/1 |
|
9th 9 (10) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Made it 2-3 round Epsom off a 3lb lower mark a month ago and ran to a similar level in defeat last time; might have been better drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has tended to be reliable once striking form in the past; should go well again. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Scored off a career-low mark to land his eighth success, at Epsom (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; back up 2lb but has recorded back-to-back wins previously so cannot be discounted. |

9th 10 |
29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Has won on all three Tapeta tracks, most recently over C&D in December, not as good since and although he ran better back here in April, he found little at Newcastle next time; others more likely. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (1) |

9st 4lb |
Successful over 5f at Southwell in November and showed he's still equally effective at 6f when runner-up there off this mark 24 days ago, both under today's rider Jack Nicholls; another to consider. |
11/2 |
|
7th 8 (7) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
6f turf winner as a 2yo who was returning from 340 days off having been gelded when beaten just over a length into fifth of 14 over C&D last month, doing very well to finish that close after meeting all sorts of trouble; respected with a clearer run. |
8/1 |
|
5th 9 (7) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced 3yo; 6f winner on racecourse debut and similar form when third of ten in a soft-ground nursery at Catterick last October; absent since a lesser run on heavy two weeks later; market useful after absence on his AW debut; gelded since last seen. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit. |
5/1 |
|
7th 6 (9) |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground. |
5/1 |
|
6th 6 (3) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Exposed but very consistent and deserved to snap a losing streak over C&D recently when racing prominently and keeping on; back up 4lb. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) and is 5lb lower than for the latest in January; hasn't enjoyed the smoothest of runs in two of his last three starts and could go well from the inside stall granted a kinder trip. |
8/1 |
|
7th 7 (6) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All ten runs over 5f on AW, winning a novice and a Class 5 handicap at Chelmsford; cheekpieces didn't have a positive effect back at Chelmsford last month though and others are more appealing; first run at Southwell. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Back in fine form this summer since stepped up to 7f and he narrowly completed a hat-trick under a 7lb penalty at Ayr 19 days ago; this strong traveller merits serious consideration despite a further 3lb rise. |
100/30 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Comes into this in good form having won over C&D on last two starts (good to firm), last week scoring by 3.5l when an 8-15 shot; 7b higher here, but should go well again. |
5/4 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Shot up the weights for winning three races in five starts and he finished down the field at Glorious Goodwood (6f); others might be better in. |
10/1 |
|
15th 4 (9) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made it three wins in his last five starts when seeing off five rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; at the top of his game but this asks a different question of one who has gained all six career successes in single-figure fields. |
10/1 |

1st 1 (3) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Two wins this season (6f/5f, good/good to soft), including here, and when fourth of five here (6f, good) recently he wasn't beaten far following an awkward start; major player if the stalls break isn't an issue this time. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

8 (10) |
5th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Front-runner who has dropped down the weights and run well in defeat on his last two starts (5f, good to firm); his turf wins in Ireland came on soft/yielding going; could build on his recent form now back on easier ground. |

C&D winner (good) in May, but she's not hit the same level since and was a long way below form at Redcar last time; now drops back in trip but she has something to prove and yard also runs Canaria Queen. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 5 |

Resumed winning ways at Ripon (5f) in May and comes here on the back of a good second of five there (5f) 19 days ago; this course scorer needs considering. |

2nd 3 (1) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Won over C&D (good) in May and perhaps the return to Ripon will be a positive; however, she's been unplaced on her three starts since, most recently fourth to Zoustar Dreams at Nottingham, and she needs something extra. |

Dropped to 5f and sporting blinkers for the first time he produced an impressive display at Newcastle 13 days ago, travelling strongly and looking a cut above Class 6 level; up 6lb against stronger opposition this time but could well have more to offer at the trip. |
