12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
In good form on the AW this year including two wins over 6f; 0-12 on turf, but has gone close on a couple of occasions and should have no problem with this sharp 7f; player. |
4/1 |
|
5th 7 (2) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Hold-up performer who was successful over 6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell last month; proved himself at 7f when his strong finish only just failed to reel in the thriving Goldmoyne (won three times since) back at Southwell last time; it's likely he's still on a good mark. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (4) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Competitive coming from off the pace over 6f on all five starts this year, winning in clearcut style at Wolverhampton and Southwell on last two occasions; he's now getting close to his career-best form, with more to prove on this third attempt (first on AW) at 7f but he's been finishing well. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Heavy-ground turf win last October and he comes here on the back of second-place finishes at Newcastle (5f) and here (6f); sneaking back up the weights but should give it another good go. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 10 (5) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Both of his wins have been on turf, with the most recent coming at Bath (5.7f, heavy) in October; went from the front when beaten a neck at Newcastle (5f, AW) 20 days ago and won't have an issue with the return to this trip. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats before finally off the mark on his seventeenth start in a Newcastle maiden a few weeks ago; hard to know the merits of that but he returns to handicap company on a workable mark and confidence will have been boosted. |
3/1 |

1st 1 (2) |
19th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Largely consistent sort; placed in 6f handicaps at Southwell on last two starts, close second latest; easily the most exposed contender, being 0-16, but is one of the main players on form. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Had a luckless passage at Bath last month but had a clearer run through when winning at Leicester (6f, good to firm) five days ago, travelling strongly and doing it comfortably; carries a 4lb penalty for that success and looks the one to beat. |
7/4 |
|
1st 6 (2) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Tough sort who last won on turf more than a year ago but he had a luckless run at Bath recently (extended 5f, good; no aids, as today); acts on this track and versatile regarding the ground; can't rule out. |
13/2 |
|
6th 11 (8) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Hold-up performer who won four times last year including off 4lb higher at Brighton (7f, good to firm); two solid efforts on AW since rejoining Tony Carroll last month and he could be a big factor if he gets the breaks back on turf; tongue-tie and blinkers are removed but he has won without headgear. |

29th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
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. |
16/1 |

6th 3 (1) |
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. |

3rd 4 (1) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |

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. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
AW maiden winner; 0-14 in handicaps but is in a consistent vein of form, reaching the frame three times this spring, including third to Herakles at Nottingham (5f, good); met trouble when a beaten favourite at Carlisle last week and can have that effort ignored. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 (7) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Won a maiden at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) last spring and he's run four solid races on AW this year; now returns to turf but he's still lightly raced in this sphere and has possibilities off a sliding mark. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled his tally when landing a C&D handicap in December and followed up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) on his next start; respectable effort when stepped up to this grade there 32 days ago, but first-time the blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to bring out a bit more. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive sprinter who arrives here chasing a hat-trick after wins at Southwell and over C&D last month; up 4lb in a higher class but improvers are thin on the ground here and he holds strong claims. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 10 (9) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark at Chepstow (5f, good) in August but is 0-3 on AW; beaten a neck at Bath (5.5f, good to firm) in September and may still have more improvement in him if he can translate that form to artificial surfaces. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
A dual C&D scorer last autumn; yet to hit top form this term but he wasn't best drawn when eighth of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap in February; possibilities from an easing mark after a break. |
8/1 |
|
8th 2 (11) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice over 6f at Yarmouth last year and was a close third at Newcastle (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in November; held in sixth at Chelmsford (6f, AW) on his return from a break last time, and better is needed. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian; hasn't progressed and plenty to prove after some modest efforts this year, including back on turf at Thirsk last time (6f, good). |

13th 16 (10) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

8lb lower than for his Newcastle third in December (6f) but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; hopes rest on the return to turf perking him up. |

9th 8 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Close third over 6f here in December and now 6lb lower; however, four lesser performances have followed and the return to 7f is of dubious benefit, with his three wins having been at 6f. |

5th 5 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

7th 7 (12) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |

Two wins and several near-misses to his name over C&D; had plenty of chances off a sliding mark of late and will need the breaks if dropped in as anticipated from the outside stall. |
