11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good) last month when back on turf and back down in trip and she followed up over 1m6f here; clearly thriving and has strong claims. |
9/4 |

1st 4 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Won at Newcastle in October and solid fourth there (also 1m4f, AW) in February; didn't stay 2m back at that track last month but a return to 1m4f did the trick when taking a course handicap (good) a fortnight ago; big player if her stamina lasts out. |

1st 7 (3) |
8th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
8st 6lb |
Won at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October and close fourth there (1m4f, AW) in February; didn't see out 2m there last month; also effective on turf and she's one to consider now back down in trip. |

4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
0-9 for Andrew Balding, but runner-up in three of his last four starts; up in trip for this stable debut after seven months off and holds each-way claims if ready to go; no headgear today. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 but he's finished placed in three of his five handicaps and had some traffic issues when sixth at Kempton (1m4f) last time; wasn't beaten far in that race and he's in the mix back on Tapeta. |
13/2 |

6th 1 (4) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Maiden who has run three sound races at about this trip since headgear was fitted, just run down late by an in-form rival over 1m3f here last week; should find a race before long and solid to go well again. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Richard Fahey; seven-time AW winner, including two over C&D early last year; off the mark for current trainer at Wolverhampton last time (1m6f; form fair); up 2lb; should go well again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 2 (2) |
8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three-time course winner, including one over C&D; runner-up to a progressive rival at Southwell (1m6f) on her stable debut in March and was a bit better than the bare result here over 1m4f 17 days ago having been short of room at a crucial stage; back up in trip. |
9/4 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

6-38, the bulk of them for Stella Barclay; with Richard Fahey for some of 2025, winning over 1m4f here (3lb lower) last September; runner-up to progressive rival at Southwell (1m6f) latest on debut for this trainer; a possible. |

21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Having a fine year, winning for the fourth time when scoring at Ripon 13 days ago (1m2f, good); still feasibly weighted but previous 1m4f efforts haven't seen her convince with her stamina. |
5/2 |
|
1st 7 (6) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins on AW at Newcastle (1m2f) since January including a cosy success last Friday; this is tougher under a penalty but she's still lightly raced on turf and was third in a big field at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) on her penultimate run; shortlisted. |
4/1 |
|
1st 11 (8) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 10lb |
Two C&D wins already this year, latterly off 4lb lower, and continues in form, the drop to 1m working against her when she came home nicely at Doncaster five weeks ago; goes on the shortlist. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
300,000euros yearling; well held in her first two runs but she showed promise when a staying-on fourth in Windsor novice (1m, good) last month; this is a big step up in trip on handicap debut but she has a striking pedigree and needs a close look in the market. |
3/1 |
|
12 (7) |
8th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Fifth of six in spring C&D event won by very useful sort; only a modest fourth at Chelmsford since but may be capable of progress returned to turf; frame possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
11 (6) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
From a good family that includes 6f 2yo Group 1 winner Sudirman; stumbled soon after start and could not get seriously competitive when fifth of six at Windsor (1m) in May but that quite valuable novice race has worked out pretty well; no surprise if she gets close to the target here. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ex-Jim Bolger; close second at Newcastle last November (1m4f) but poor efforts since, including back on turf after a break over 1m4f here last time; blinkers replace cheekpieces; tries this trip for the first time but hard to fancy. |
25/1 |
|
14th 3 (12) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a career-low mark and he's one to watch in the betting following a break; went close when 11-2 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last November but it's disconcerting he was tailed off there on his next two outings. |
16/1 |
|
10th 9 (5) |
22nd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

First impact since joining Adam Nicol when beaten only a head over C&D in November but stopped quickly back here 15 days later; freshened up since. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider. |
100/30 |
|
4th 8 (1) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip. |

27th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made a winning yard debut at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last April and he's since won over hurdles at Musselburgh in November; bounced back from a lesser effort when second of six at Redcar (1m6f, good) 20 days ago and won't mind this drop back in trip. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 218y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made all to win a small-field handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last April off a 2lb higher mark, and made a winning debut over hurdles in November; stayed on for third in a 1m4f handicap at Newcastle in March (visored first time) but looked stretched by 2m latest; this trip should be in range and he can't be ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
5th 7 (3) |
2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
AW/hurdles winner; ran well in first-time visor at Newcastle (12.5f) returned to this code most recently; place possibilities in the retained headgear, provided he's as effective back up in distance. |
6/1 |
