3rd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three-time winner here early in the season, all over 1m, who's lost his form of late, the switch from blinkers to cheekpieces not helping; runs in a sprint for the first time this year. |
25/1 |

13th 3 (10) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Found a rich vein of form earlier in the year, with five wins between February and June (including 7f here), but has been operating below that level in recent starts. |

5th 6 (6) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four of his five AW wins have been at this track and the other at Wolverhampton; only 1lb higher than for June's Wetherby win but hasn't been at best on his last two starts; better is needed back on the AW but he's capable. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Had been expensive to follow but he got off the mark at the 17th attempt at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) this month and has since been runner-up there (9.4f); also effective here and he's an each-way player. |
10/1 |

2nd 8 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
String of defeats at short prices before finally off the mark over 8.6f here a fortnight ago off a 2lb lower mark in 0-60 company; has not always looked the easiest and has to prove his stamina going into a deeper race. |
4/1 |

1st 3 (1) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
String of defeats at short prices this spring, remains a maiden and hasn't always looked the easiest; the return to Tapeta and step back up from 7f will help, though, and he holds claims under Tom Marquand. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective on turf and AW; competitively treated, having won off current mark at Doncaster in July, but needs a revival having been out of sorts since; mixed claims. |
25/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
2nd Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three AW wins and only 1lb higher than for the 1m success on turf in July; however, opposable on subsequent efforts. |
14/1 |
|
9th 3 (9) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three AW wins include a C&D classified event in January; he added a turf win in July (also 1m) but not in the same form back in handicap company since and might be a shade high in the weights for now. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three of his four wins have come over 1m here, the latest 11 days ago; 4lb penalty still leaves him 1lb below his previous winning mark, but his record over this trip around here isn't quite as compelling (770408) and that would be a concern. |
9/4 |
|
1st 9 (6) |
16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
First 27 starts came on the AW with three wins, including two over C&D last October; rather patchy this year but he was third of 13 when making his turf debut at Doncaster (7f) in May and probably not discredited in a two-runner turf race in June when last seen; in the mix. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
First 27 starts came on the AW (three wins) and was making his turf debut when third of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) last month (fourth has won twice since); 5lb below last winning mark and much respected for stable that won this in 2024. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
1m Polytrack winner last November, when with Hughie Morrison; up 4lb for that and last of nine at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack; first-time hood) latest; return to further looks a positive but she has a bit to prove now. |
16/1 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt when scoring at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in November; left Hughie Morrison for 5,000gns since; this is a different test dropped to 6f for new yard but she travelled smoothly last time and she still has potential; possibilities with hood added. |
8/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
1st Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Inconsistent maiden who didn't see out 9.5f in first-time blinkers (off tonight) on Tapeta early last month; previously offered more off a 3lb higher mark over this trip and it's still early days with her. |

18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Gave willingly to brush off a 5lb penalty at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) 11 days ago; steps up in grade (from 4lb higher) in pursuit of the hat-trick for an in-form trainer; no issue with this track, so obvious claims with Oisin Murphy aboard. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Came from off the pace to collar odds-on favourite and cause 25-1 surprise at Ayr (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; only to due to go up 4lb for that but takes her chance under a 5lb penalty here and remains well handicapped on older form. |
100/30 |

1st 7 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins have been on AW (7f/1m); fair second to in-form rival at Musselburgh in May (1m1f, good) but a bit more needed. |

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. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has dropped 1lb lower than when winning a handicap at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) for Richard Fahey last November, but will need to show a lot more than when tailed off on stable debut at Southwell (1m, AW) in March. |
25/1 |

8th 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
7f Tapeta winner last November, when 1lb lower; has taken some backward steps since then; has left Richard Fahey since being comfortably held at Newcastle latest; drops another 1lb; each-way player. |
12/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
31st Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Came good with C&D win in November, her seventh start, and was placed off mark 1lb higher than today's on both subsequent appearances (7f/1m); likely to be right in the thick of things again. |
