16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Couple of 6f wins at Brighton last term; proved resurgent over C&D (good to soft) last week, going down by only a whisker; now 2lb lower and due to go back up 6lb in future; leading player. |
7/2 |

2nd 9 (1) |
7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won twice here (6f) last year but on a downward trajectory since then; shaped okay here (fifth) on return from a 266-day absence in early September but his more recent AW efforts (6f-7f) have failed to offer further encouragement. |
20/1 |

11th 12 (1) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Scored three times off higher marks last year but has a doubt over current form, having posted two substandard efforts since belatedly returning to action. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Hasn't the best of strike-rates (only turf win came in June 2023) but should improve on last month's sixth at Catterick (6f, good to soft) when returning from a 247-day break; acts on soft. |
7/1 |

6th 4 (4) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won his novice after an absence, which is a plus back from nine months off, but he's regressive and hard to win with; some way down the pecking order for a yard also responsible for Pit Boss. |

1st 10 (5) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Over two years since his last success but he retains some ability and begins life with his new stable off a lowly mark (left Julie Camacho for £7,000 last month); others appeal more. |

20th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Only 4-46 but two of those wins have come in his last four races; stayed on best over 5f at Nottingham last week (good to soft) and returning to 6f if anything is a positive; Toby Moore takes over, so effectively he's 4lb lower; clear claims, especially should it get wet (fine on good). |
4/1 |
|
1st 10 (6) |
14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ended a long losing run when running away with a 6f classified event here (soft) in June; suffered a troubled run through over 6f here last week, his first start for 114 days, and he should be in the thick of the action here granted any luck in running. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All six wins have been in Class 6s but he was close up in a Class 5 at Newmarket last time off 1lb higher; he was keeping on that day over 5f and now returns to 6f; respected. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 2 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
0-7 on the AW between September and April, but he has won his last five races on turf; patiently ridden as usual and led late at Brighton (5f, good to firm) six weeks ago; edging up the weights only slowly and in the mix once more. |
100/30 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Mark eased after a fruitless spell on the AW and made it four wins on the spin on turf when going in off 5lb lower five weeks ago; currently 2-2 round here and it's hard to find any negatives. |

2nd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Eight-race maiden who was safely held on first three starts for current stable, most recently when fifth of six over C&D a fortnight ago; has a tendency to race too freely and it's very hard to predict whether the addition of blinkers will have a positive effect today. |
20/1 |
|
5th 3 (6) |
17th Feb 2026 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Hasn't proved any more tractable for the addition of a hood on her last two starts, dropping away in handicaps here (8.6f) and at Chelmsford (6f); continues to edge down the weights and the new tongue-tie could help. |
7/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
15th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Some promise in three handicap runs, including her stable debut last month (8.6f, raced too freely), and this return to 6f should suit; others have more obvious claims though. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

Acts on soft ground and is on a good mark; fair run on third run for new yard at Catterick last time and a possible with cheekpieces refitted (has won in them). |
8/1 |
|
4th 6 (10) |
8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Inconsistent for Joseph Parr, been well held in two runs back for this yard and there's again no sign of the cheekpieces worn for his only win; plenty of rain may help, though, and he's worth a market check. |
33/1 |
|
10th 1 (2) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Consistency wasn't his strong suit for his former yard and his recent stable debut was hardly chock full of promise; drops in grade but comes with risks attached. |

3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner here early in the season, all over 1m, who's lost his form of late, the switch from blinkers to cheekpieces not helping; runs in a sprint for the first time this year. |
25/1 |
|
13th 3 (10) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Found a rich vein of form earlier in the year, with five wins between February and June (including 7f here), but has been operating below that level in recent starts. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his five AW wins have been at this track and the other at Wolverhampton; only 1lb higher than for June's Wetherby win but hasn't been at best on his last two starts; better is needed back on the AW but he's capable. |

9st 0lb |
Dual C&D winner in early part of year, latterly off today's mark; out of form over 7f on turf when last seen in spring/summer, though, and has more to prove than some; wore cheekpieces last time; usual blinkers refitted. |
20/1 |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win on turf came over two years ago and his last two efforts have been moderate; this mark is fine if first-time cheekpieces spark him back to life, however. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins at Newcastle (6f, AW) this year, but not very consistent and was well beaten at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month; 2lb out of the weights; stable also runs White Ladder. |

11th 4 (7) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Has failed to back up debut effort in two subsequent starts but this switch to handicap level may prompt a turnaround; bred to do better, being a sibling to five winners. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
4th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Shaped well on her debut when sixth of ten at Newbury (7f, good) in April but produced a lesser effort when eighth of nine at Doncaster (7f, good) 25 days ago; drops in distance and she has potential but needs to take a step forward. |

19th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Landed a classified at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) in August but has been found out by a jolt up the handicap in two runs since and needs to come down the weights. |
25/1 |

5th 10 (3) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Returned to form with a win at Yarmouth (6f classified) in August but he failed to back that up at Brighton ten days later; this return to Tapeta is no problem but he's hard to predict and others are preferred. |
16/1 |

8th 3 (8) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Always been best on the AW but off the mark on turf in a 0-50 classified event ten days ago; did a lot of racing over this trip in the past but does seem more effective over 6f these days and history suggests he's no good thing to back up Yarmouth. |

10th 10 (1) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 21 starts but he was twice a runner-up over C&D last autumn and he is now 4lb lower than for the second of those efforts; recent runs need bettering if he is to take this though. |
16/1 |

6th 6 (4) |
1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Just one win from 17 starts (5.5f, good to firm; off 3lb lower mark) but he comes here on the back of two good second-place finishes at Southwell; clear of the third on latter occasion and a 2lb rise justified; should be in the thick of it. |
