23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Mixed results in higher grades on turf of late; has a better strike-rate (4-10) on AW and looks interesting returned to this sphere off 1lb below last winning mark. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |

Never in contention in the Ayr Silver Cup last week; mark not beyond him judged on this year's best but he has few secrets now. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today. |

10st 2lb |
Drawn away from the action on his return to turf but was then said to have been unsuited by the undulations of Catterick last time, which would be a concern round here; 2lb above his last winning mark and has a bit to prove back from a short break. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Commenced her career in progressive fashion, posting form figures of 211 in C&D novice events; 0-3 in handicaps elsewhere since but ran creditably last time; may have more to offer back in this scenario. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Won two novice events (6f) on Tapeta at Southwell but she's finished down the field in two turf handicaps; still unexposed and is closely related to a 7f winner but she needs more progress at this new trip. |
10/1 |

30th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 4 |

Travelled strongly but had the door shut in her face and couldn't recover on 6f turf/handicap debut at Chester in May; useful form for two 6f novice wins on Southwell Tapeta previously; still open to progress. |

6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Four wins from ten starts over C&D but looked on the downgrade during a limited campaign last year and turned in an ordinary comeback here two months ago; some way down the pecking order. |
25/1 |
|
7th 1 (2) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
His last four wins have been over C&D but latest was in August 2024; well handicapped on old form but he's been out of sorts in three runs for his current yard and was beaten 12l here (6f) in December; returns after a break and needs a major revival back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Below par on turf last time (stable debut, back from break); has a better strike-rate on AW but seems ideally suited by Kempton; gained last four wins there. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |

Second to Jenever over C&D last October but held by that rival at the revised weights; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he's capable of a prominent showing. |
5/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
First crack at shy of 6f when well held at Brighton (5.3f) last time; still only has a Tapeta maiden win to his name and has had his moments at the stalls; another furlong would have looked optimal round here. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
His sole success from 12 attempts came in a small-field 6f AW maiden last March; plenty of solid runs in handicaps (turf and AW) since and belatedly dropping to 5f, albeit an extended one, could give him a lift. |

4th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Coped well with the return to 6f when making all at Wolverhampton five weeks ago; that was only a claimer and he didn't need to be at his very best but he's landed a good draw from which to attack. |

1st 8 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

A bit to prove in the reapplied visor and back over 6f, with his last win coming at 7f; badly drawn last time at Chester but disappointed the run before as well. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |

Ended a long losing run when scoring over 7f here (good to soft) last month but he wasn't in the same form at Epsom last week; has bit to prove again after that and he hasn't had much luck with the draw. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Set a course record when justifying favouritism by a neck at Chester (5.5f, good) on penultimate start; didn't see it out, in a race which has yielded various winners, at Hamilton (6f) three weeks ago; sits close to career-high mark. |
8/1 |

7th 9 (3) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Won a C&D maiden in 2024; ran well here on his first two starts this year and won a handicap by a neck at Chester (5.5f, good) last month; form figures at this track read 14232 and he makes the shortlist. |
7/1 |

1st 6 (2) |
10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |

Prominent racer who has run two good races at Hamilton (6f, good and 5f, good to soft) this season; unraced on faster than good but a key player if underfoot conditions are suitable. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice on AW (6f) for Robert Cowell last autumn and he is thrown in on that form; not at his best for new yard this year and hopes rest on the return to sprinting reviving his fortunes. |

6th 5 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
0-7 for new stable this season; outran 28-1 odds when placed at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in June and is now 4lb below that mark but his more recent efforts have been underwhelming; others preferred. |
25/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |

All five wins have been for previous trainers over 6f/7f; his two runs over 1m have not proved his stamina for the distance, but this does represent a class drop so all is not lost. |

Came good for current stable at third attempt, with fairly comfortable success at Ripon (6f, good) in June, and recovered from awkward start to take third off today's mark at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last month; must be considered. |

3rd 4 (4) |

Hasn't won for two years but made an encouraging return from his second wind op and a six-month layoff when runner-up at Carlisle (6f, soft) last month; holds claims if he can back up that run. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached. |

3rd 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |

No longer the force of old but bettered his poor seasonal debut when fifth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to lurk on a dangerous mark and is well worth another crack at this sort of trip; no surprise if he features. |
