15th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Garnered a remarkable seventh AW 6f victory of 2026 at Newcastle in March but off since his last of nine in 6f Pontefract handicap in April; this tough front-runner needs to hit the ground running after the layoff. |

Gained a superb ninth success of the winter in 6f Newcastle handicap 25 days ago; gamely making all; reverts to turf now off a career-high mark but he's a big player once more. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Scored by a neck at Newcastle (6f, AW) in February and he repeated the feat over that C&D in March; very low-key return when last of nine here three weeks ago and he's probably still building back up to an AW campaign. |
33/1 |

8th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Not run on turf since down the field behind Dream Deal in this race last year; turned in a string of consistent efforts round Newcastle last winter, winning twice, and this may set him up for a return to Tapeta. |
5/1 |

3rd 8 (8) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Won over C&D last month and placed on next four starts prior to winning over C&D last Saturday; it was an apprentice handicap last time, so he escapes a penalty today; solid contender. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected. |

Good efforts in all three 6f runs this year, placed behind the prolific Yorkshire Glory twice and readily seeing off five rivals at Southwell eight days ago; 1lb well in under a penalty; should go well. |

All three wins have come over 6f including one here; not very consistent, though, and a suspicion that this trip stretches him. |

9st 8lb |
C&D winner in March 2025 and has since added 7f handicaps at Redcar, where she again made the frame last time (7f); solid contender back here, for all that an extra furlong may be ideal these days. |

Two of her three wins have come over this C&D, winning the same race in May for the last two years; proved a disappointing favourite back here when last seen in June, however, which tempers confidence. |

50-1 winner over C&D off 11lb higher in February last year; back on a good mark but hasn't been in top form recently. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 (2) |
4th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Well short of her best this winter but that is reflected in her mark and she has too much ability to discount now dropping into a 0-60; betting should be revealing. |
12/1 |

11th 8 (10) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Backwards since winning at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good) in August; kept on from behind to finish fifth of ten at Southwell (5f; 33-1) a fortnight ago; the handicapper continues to give her assistance from a career-low mark. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
First win for the yard over 7f on the AW in April but less going for her on subsequent turf starts, racing freely and tailed off at Hamilton (6f) ten days ago; looks one to watch in first-time hood back over 7f. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Won a weak 6f event at Newcastle on his handicap debut in February; not so good in either run since, especially when beaten a long way at Ripon 12 days ago on his return to turf; only of interest if backed. |

7th 6 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Unexposed; won a Newcastle handicap in February on only fourth start; has been absent since a disappointing run there ten days later; fair run only previous outing on turf (on debut in Ireland); interesting. |
10/1 |
|
8th 6 (10) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Unexposed 4yo who won over C&D on handicap debut earlier this month on first run over 6f (previous runs had been at 7f/1m); this looks a tougher race and is 5lb higher, but should improve. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
9yo who caused a 80-1 surprise over C&D four weeks ago following a six-month break, making all to notch his 12th course success; isn't certain to have things his own way in front this time but can't be dismissed off 2lb higher. |

Won four times over 6f here early in the year to take his career total to ten; none of those victories came when fresh, though, and he returns from six months off looking high in the weights. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Won three 6f handicaps at Newcastle over the winter when trained by Richard Spencer; two heavy defeats since joining this yard and risky, for all he's dropping in class this time. |

11th 12 (6) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Three Newcastle wins for Richard Spencer over the winter, latterly off 5lb lower, and remained competitive before changing hands for 5,000gns; usual tongue-tie/blinkers absent for his new yard latest (same again here), when well below par on turf. |
