28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Course regular; his latest third (8.6f) was a remote one behind an easy winner but it was still a creditable effort; no sign of age denting his enthusiasm and he should make another bold bid. |

3rd 5 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Three wins here in the winter to take his course tally to 11 but he's rather lost the plot since and doesn't often go beyond 7f these days; needs a revival. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 7f this year, two of them here, and he turned in another solid effort at Southwell 38 days ago (6f); no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well once again. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner, but has raced exclusively over 7f since December and was successful over that distance here four weeks ago; has to prove he still has the speed for this trip, but his course record makes him hard to dismiss. |
4/1 |

1st 6 (4) |

Eight wins on the AW include three at this track (6f/7f), the last win coming off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton last month; ran well when runner-up here 16 days ago and there's no reason why he can't go well again. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Won on turf as a 2yo for Clive Cox; dual AW winner (1m/7f) for this yard in January but poor last time when the race reportedly came too soon; has been freshened up and might bounce back. |
5/1 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner in January, when 12lb lower; followed up at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta); went close from this mark when fourth back there (8.5f) on his penultimate start; respectable second at Lingfield latest but if back in the form of that penultimate effort, he'd have strong claims. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two Tapeta wins in January, over 1m and 7f, and better form when a close fourth (off this mark) at Wolverhampton 11 days ago (8.6f); the second and third there have both won since and he is a solid contender back down into a Class 6. |

4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at 6f and over C&D for James Owen at the start of the year, then over 1m here on yard debut in March, but his last three runs have been nothing like as good; has plenty to prove back at 7f. |
25/1 |
|
10th 6 (12) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Enjoyed a revival for James Owen and this yard earlier in the year, with three wins, including two round here; up in the weights now, though, and finished well behind a couple of these over C&D a month ago; needs more from somewhere. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Looked in excellent nick on last month's stable debut, gaining clearcut C&D win in first-time cheekpieces; not quite in same form when fourth off new mark here three weeks later but still considered. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Four of his seven wins have come over C&D; successful off this mark at Wolverhampton in March but not in the same form in four runs since; others look more persuasive. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Won off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and has remained in good form since; only faded out of contention in closing stages when fifth over C&D (good to soft; behind Too Much Trevor and Connie's Rose) last week and ought to be better suited by today's faster ground; one to consider. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Tapeta specialist who returned from a short break with an eye-catching third at Newcastle (1m) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up, but he's 0-11 on turf and has had only one run in this sphere in his last 14 starts; mixed messages. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
20th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four wins in the early part of 2025 including three over C&D; down to a handy mark again but he generally struggled during the winter and was beaten 11l at Wolverhampton (7f) last time; has something to prove after a short break and he needs a major revival back up in trip. |
7/1 |

6th 8 (9) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Four wins in the early part of 2025 (7f and 1m); down to a handy mark again and his penultimate effort was a step back in the right direction; disappointed 12 days ago (slowly away) but a revival isn't out of the question. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |

Course winner (6f) who won decisively on AW (7f) in November off a 3lb higher mark; recent return to action should have sharpened him up; one of two strong contenders for his trainer. |
8/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
1st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went down by only a head over C&D (firm) in April; things didn't go his way (slightly hampered) when fourth of 11 at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago; likely to go well. |
