18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with four AW wins (three here over 7f) in recent times for James Owen, from whom he was picked up for 5,000gns recently; fine on turf and has a handy draw. |
8/1 |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In fine form in 2026, bagging a quickfire C&D hat-trick in March; ran another good race dropped to 6f here when third of 12 last time, bumped start; a player once more back at his ideal trip. |
5/2 |

3rd 5 (4) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Won three over 7f here of late and looked a bit unlucky not to make it four last Friday, when having Way To Dubai just behind; the drop to 6f shouldn't hurt and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |

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. |

25th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Short-headed at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January and runs off 6lb lower here, but below best more recently and has to turn things around. |

28th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only 3-35 so hard to win with and since going close on the AW in January she's lost her way; others preferred. |

14th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner who wasn't disgraced when third of seven to Profit Street over C&D 45 days ago; not discounted off an easing mark. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Rated much higher when joining this yard in autumn 2024; remained consistent enough off a sliding mark during the winter but needs more if he's to snap the losing run. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Both wins when trained by Hugo Palmer; now finding it difficult to get his head in front and has dropped to a career-low mark; may get in the firing line but doesn't appeal for win purposes. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (9) |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His last win was in September 2024 but that was off 19lb higher at Chester, and he ran well to finish third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still lightly raced on turf and has possibilities if he handles the conditions back in this sphere (best form has been on soft ground). |

26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three AW wins at 1m and 7f in midwinter and he wasn't too far off his best at Wolverhampton recently but his two turf runs, most recently at Yarmouth in May, leave him with some questions hanging. |
16/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won three times on the Lingfield Polytrack (7f/1m) during the winter and just 1lb higher than for the latest, but not at his best lately; others more solid. |
16/1 |

7th 5 (6) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins at Lingfield (7f-1m) over the winter; his form has cooled more recently and he returns to turf (well held in one attempt) with a point to prove; can blow the start. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-14 but she finished runner-up twice here (1m/1m1f) last month and had another close call at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; on same mark as for her last two runs and she should make another bold bid; cheekpieces added. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (3) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive maiden who's found her level for this yard, twice finishing second on turf last month, including over this sort of trip for the first time latest; needs to improve on previous AW work if she's to make it 14th time lucky. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-9 last year for Ed Walker; new yard this year and her half-length second of 14 here (good) last time was her closest finish, over 1m but she ran on well from rear; 1m1f, at the least, will be within range on that evidence. |
