7th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from a wind operation in December with a C&D success in February; scored over 1m at Southwell in April too when just 2lb lower; not so good on his next three starts but this is an ease in grade and he can't be discounted. |

24th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Another who is enjoying a fine winter, winning for the fifth time when seeing off ten rivals at Southwell last month; steadily-run race no good to him at Newcastle on Saturday and he's capable of bouncing back quickly. |
9/2 |
|
9th 3 (7) |
21st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive gelding who has won four of his last eight starts and was a close second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off only 1lb higher than for that last run and he's a big player again on this drop back in trip. |

2nd 6 (2) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Justified favouritism at Southwell most recently, making it three wins from his last four starts and taking strike-rate since November to 5-11; has a particularly good record at Wolverhampton in that period; progressing well with age and warrants respect off bottom weight upped further in class. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Went handicapping off a high mark after two good runs in AW maiden and novice events; on this career-low mark for last two starts at Wolverhampton (about 1m) and involved in a tight finish there last week; not far away. |

3rd 8 (3) |
17th Feb 2026 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

0-14, but appears to have reached a mark he can win from judging by his second of nine behind a subsequent winner over C&D six weeks ago; a player if building on that. |

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. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Beat Donna Nook over C&D in May when rated 1lb higher; put a couple of lesser efforts behind him when chasing home Runninsonofagun here last week; 7lb better off for 2l defeat so has a handicapping chance; new visor replaces cheekpieces; others still more appealing. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (9) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in May (good to firm) and decent third at Hamilton later in the month (8.5f, good to firm); disappointing in two runs since, first-time cheekpieces latest (retained); could go well back on good to firm ground. |
13/2 |

8th 1 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Just held on to score over C&D (good to firm) in May and looked unlucky at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) two starts ago (persistently denied clear run) but has become rather inconsistent and it's hard to predict whether the first-time cheekpieces will get the best out out him. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Currently 2-2 over C&D and 2-2 in cheekpieces (again off tonight) following wins here in April; excuses off his revised mark since and he is one to consider back on Tapeta. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (1) |
6th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Seemingly boosted by cheekpieces when winning twice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in April and endured a wide trip before keeping on steadily for sixth at Kempton (1m, AW; no headgear, as today) last month; versatile ground-wise on turf; can't be ignored. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Not the force of old but gained his fifth success, at Kempton (1m, AW) in May; beaten 4l at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) last month in an 18-runner contest but this smaller field should play to his strengths (all five wins have been in races with less than ten runners). |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |

Has a better strike-rate on AW than on turf but went close in most recent attempt in this sphere; scored at Kempton (1m) last time; may well remain competitive. |
9/2 |

1st 3 (8) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner who showed signs of a revival at Wolverhampton in March and he went close back on turf at Nottingham (8.3f, good) last month; 2lb higher here but he was a well-backed favourite last time and he remains very well treated on old form; big player. |

7f winner at Southwell for Marco Botti last summer off 5lb higher; patchy for this yard since, although 9.5f at Wolverhampton seemed to stretch his stamina last time and this test is more suitable. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Wildly inconsistent these days but boasts a decent record round here (five wins from 19 starts); back around the mark off which he won here in March (awarded the race) and he is quite capable of bouncing back from two poor efforts on turf. |

Not particularly solid on his AW form (at up to 9.5f) for current stable; gained sole win on turf (6f; off 3lb higher) but has something to prove over this new trip. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

6f win for George Scott on turf last summer; edging down the weights for current stable while suggesting he retains a fair level of ability; Rossa Ryan replaces an apprentice this time; not discounted. |
