4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |

Wins have all come on Tapeta and does most racing now at Newcastle; decent second there last time, back up from 5f, but this is stronger and he's far from certain to repeat the effort. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Well handicapped on some of his winter AW form but was safely held when back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last week and remains without a win since summer 2024; others preferred. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win on AW and his rare turf handicap runs haven't seen him to best advantage, admittedly when higher in the weights than he is now; beaten favourite four times from last six runs though and others higher up the list. |

4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Poor strike-rate and hasn't always looked the most eager under pressure; conditions no problem and on a dangerous mark so can't rule out another prominent showing. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Four-time turf winner who won off today's mark at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February; however, he's finished down the field on his last four starts and a major turnaround is necessary. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Won three 5f AW handicaps through the winter but his last three efforts were nothing to shout about; capable on turf but needs to turn a corner. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has gained both wins on AW, including at Newcastle in latest start when wearing a hood and attempting 6f for the first time; far from solid on her turf form but otherwise may have more to offer at this distance in the retained headgear. |

1st 4 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
1m winner for the Gosdens in May 2024; best effort for this yard came when a close third in a 5f Southwell handicap in January but not so good over 5f here since; steps back up in trip with a hood fitted. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Having slipped in the weights he returned to form with a close third at Southwell five weeks ago; won't be inconvenienced by this stiffer test and he is one to take seriously. |

3rd 9 (1) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Shaped well on his return from a 258-day absence when fourth at Newcastle in December; yet to kick on from that and others look more persuasive. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

Has won on all three Tapeta tracks, most recently over C&D in December, not as good since and although he ran better back here in April, he found little at Newcastle next time; others more likely. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Four 5f wins on Tapeta, two of them at this track; attracted support and returned to form with a closing third at Wolverhampton nine days ago; 1lb lower today; considered. |

Beat Candy Warhol over C&D in December off this mark; unplaced in five runs since but he is well drawn and a revival wouldn't be a huge shock; stable also runs Toomuchforme. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Back to winning ways at Wolverhampton (5f) in January and suffered a poor run when sixth of ten over C&D last time; ought to be thereabouts. |

6th 2 (4) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Took advantage of a favourable mark when scoring at Wolverhampton (5f) four weeks ago, but he was well below that form at Southwell last time; remains well handicapped on old form but he needs to step up again after that last run. |

6th 1 (8) |
21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Dropped out over 5f two starts ago but good efforts at 6f either side of that and he's 11lb lower than a close fifth of ten over 5f on this track in January; can be on the premises. |

C&D scorer but his recent form is far from encouraging, beating only two in 5f Southwell handicap 17 days ago; hood goes back on; work to do. |

20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Possibly needed latest run (when back from a break); losing sequence is mounting up but this drop in class may do the trick; interesting at this level off 11lb below last winning mark. |

21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Needs things to fall just right for him but he is on a lowly mark and some of this summer's form gives him leading claims; wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Leicester run and he holds each-way claims again. |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |

Speedy sort; yet to strike for current stable; ran two good races at Southwell in late 2025 but his last three starts leave him with a point to prove. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Placed over C&D in November and December and now 5lb lower than for both those efforts; he hasn't beaten a rival in his last two starts but not out of the question that he'll bounce back. |
20/1 |

11th 7 (4) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

On a long losing sequence and he failed to beat a rival in 5f Southwell handicap 40 days ago; he's not easy to make a case for. |
