29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
There's a question mark regarding ground slower than good to soft and he was below par at Thirsk a fortnight ago (even allowing for slight interference); however, he was in good form previously, finishing second over C&D (good to soft) then winning at Musselburgh (7f, good); not discounted. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Gained a deserved first success of 2026 in 7f handicap at Musselburgh 20 days ago; back up 3lb but this reliable sort can go well again. |

Gained last five wins on AW but has proved consistent in Scotland since returned to turf; finished 1l second at Ayr (7f) most recently; reasonably solid contender in current form. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has been kept busy since winning over C&D off a 2lb lower mark in December; went in again at Southwell on Tuesday evening and needs respect. |

1st 4 (2) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in). |

Four wins on AW but 0-7 on turf; has shown promise on good to soft but others bring more pressing claims. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Newcastle regular (four wins) but well held in both visits here; still 4lb above his last winning mark and others make greater appeal. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Four-time AW winner, the latest at Newcastle (7f) in May, and good second at Chester (7f, good to soft) in June; however, only fifth of ten at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time and has to leave that run behind if he's to get off the mark on turf at the seventh attempt. |

11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Got up late to win a 6f handicap at Brighton last month; disappointed at Catterick on Tuesday and this is tougher from 3lb out of the weights; has been rated much higher in the past though. |
14/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |

Three Polytrack wins came over 7f-1m and found stamina kicking in late when winning off 3lb lower in a big field over this trip at Brighton recently; will want a similarly good test round here, and not too much rain (since taken out on good to soft ground). |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won two in a row on heavy ground last autumn and he's well handicapped on the pick of his efforts in the first half of this summer; however, he hasn't shone more recently and needs to raise his game this afternoon. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (8) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Reasonably consistent this season until losing his form in last few outings; registered only wins for current stable when completing a Doncaster 7f double last autumn and may be more interesting when back there. |

6th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Merely midfield at the Galway festival on last two starts but he's run some really good races in defeat here this year; close third in this race last year and versatile ground-wise; very capable of being in the mix. |

21st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins this season, the latest off a 10lb higher mark at Beverley (7.4f) in July; although he has been unplaced in all five AW runs, he has shown some aptitude for this surface; shouldn't be far away. |
6/1 |

17th 5 (15) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
All six wins have been on good ground or quicker, the most recent at Beverley (7.5f) in July, but he was third of 11 there on heavy ground last time (8.5f; cheekpieces back on); step up to 1m2f isn't sure to suit. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Has lost his form since a consistent spell and still has a poor strike-rate, with sole success in 2023; no certainty to take advantage of his reduced mark. |

28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Just one win from 26 starts and he hasn't been firing on all cylinders of late, including when fitted with blinkers at Redcar on Wednesday; full revival required. |

24th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win from 25 starts came in a novice at Southwell in December 2023; ran well when fourth there last month but he needs to bounce back from two disappointing runs since; blinkers now replace cheekpieces. |

Four handicap wins on the Southwell AW in the first part of the year but has come up short in Listed/Group 3 races on turf on her five starts since June; a similar outcome seems likely here. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
C&D winner who bounced right back to form when second of ten back here eight days ago; already due a 2lb rise for that but stall 13 is far from ideal. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 8 (5) |
16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Three Tapeta wins, including C&D; recent form figures not inspiring but she didn't run too badly when sixth of 14 over C&D on her first run back from wind surgery and an excuse emerged last time (reportedly lost action). |
18/1 |
|
9th 10 (7) |
28th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three Tapeta wins at other venues; finished behind Twilight Diamond at Southwell 24 days ago (first run after a wind operation); may get closer this time. |
