15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Has raced on only the AW, with her wins at Southwell (1m) in October and on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in March both coming after five-month layoffs; it's unclear how she will cope with turf but she is undoubtedly progressive. |
10/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Went close here last May and 154 days later she quickened up best off slow fractions in a 1m Southwell maiden; should do better over this longer trip and Owen Burrows remains her trainer despite the sale in December by former owners for 95,000gns. |

Both starts in spring, better effort when going close at Chelmsford (1m) latest; this Shadwell filly could well take another step forward; warrants respect. |

30th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1-15 in handicaps, with the win on Lingfield AW (AW) last November but he's often been thereabouts, including on turf; bang there on Wolverhampton AW on both outings this term, the latest just three days ago; player. |
9/2 |
|
4th 5 (6) |
27th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Won twice, including over C&D; most encouraging when runner-up over C&D four weeks ago on his return from a break and should go close here. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 (12) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |

Novice winner who doubled his tally by a head over Lingfield's 1m2f in November; could go well off 3lb higher if ready to rock after his break. |

17th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Sole success came in April 2025 when trained by Darryl Holland; has performed with credit on several occasions since, resulting in him being still 6lb higher than his winning mark; place claims. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Won Nottingham handicap (8.5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) for Darryll Holland last year; mostly very consistent for this yard and has placed in three of his four starts (9.5f to 1m6f) this term; handicapper appears to be in charge but maybe first-time blinkers and Billy Loughnane can eke out more. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Solid enough run behind the favourite last time at Goodwood (1m6f, good) but he's 7lb higher than for his only handicap win and there are doubts about him on soft ground. |

Has yet to score this year but is getting close, finishing second of eight over C&D (good to firm) last Tuesday; 8lb lower than for his two wins last autumn. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
At the veteran stage and has finished unplaced in his last ten starts, but now 8lb below his last winning mark; could still have a big effort in him. |
7/2 |

5th 3 (8) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Won twice on turf in the autumn of 2025, including C&D; well handicapped on that form and his last two efforts have been respectable; should go well with Rossa Ryan up for the first time. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Has four wins at this track, mostly over today's distance; 3lb higher than his last success in March but cannot be dismissed here. |
12/1 |
|
5th 8 (11) |
30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
It was a narrow verdict over 8.6f here four weeks ago and he went up only 3lb; with that run under his belt and being a triple C&D winner, he should feature again if able to overcome a wider than ideal draw. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won three times over 9.4f here last year and ended that year with a keeping-on second over that trip; returns from two-month break on fairly tough mark, though, and this drop back to 8.6f is not ideal. |

4-8 at Wolverhampton and never ideally positioned in a slowly run race here 17 days ago; never ruled out around here. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Newcastle run and he had bumped into a progressive one at Southwell beforehand; this C&D winner has the assistance of Billy Loughnane in the saddle today; contender. |
7/2 |

6th 6 (8) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |

Had a good spell in late 2025, winning three Tapeta handicaps at around this trip; good second to a well-handicapped opponent at Southwell last week; one to take seriously. |

Seven wins on the AW; consistent in the main and ran okay over the 8.6f here ten days ago, leaving the impression that this longer trip is worth another go. |

4th 3 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |

Seven times an AW winner, twice over C&D; back to his last winning mark and Jack Mitchell takes over from a 7lb claimer; one to take seriously. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Last won when sharing the spoils at Southwell (1m4f, AW) over 15 months ago but he was in good form this spring and can be excused his latest effort on account of soft ground; ran well on his only previous visit here too; considered. |
5/1 |
|
4th 2 (8) |
11th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
3-13 on the AW and 0-12 on turf, though he was only beaten half a length by Yokohama at Newbury (1m4f, good) last month (third has won since); 4lb rise for that does make things a bit harder, though. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 6 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Consistency seems far less evident in the last year or so but one trend has developed, as he's 3-13 on AW compared to 0-11 on turf; AW second last time was his best effort for a while but he's not the percentage call here. |

5/1 |
|
5th 2 (9) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile but he won at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in March and was a strong-finishing second at Pontefract (1m, good) last Wednesday; on same mark here and he's a key player on this step back up in trip. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 1 (9) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made all on good to firm at Newbury (1m; first-time cheekpieces, kept since) in July and doubled his tally when picking up AW handicap (1m2f) in March; raced freely when underwhelming on last two starts but drops in grade and has already dipped below his last winning mark. |

His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender. |
9/2 |

8th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |

Maiden who had a reasonably solid record last term but proved far less consistent this year; otherwise capable of taking a serious hand, provided he turns up in good form. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

11-race maiden who returned to form with a near-miss over 1m2f on the AW 14 days ago, despite being slow to break; first-time headgear might do something for him; effective on grass. |

Dual Dundalk winner at 1m; left Ireland out of form (changed hands for 6,000gns) and he was tailed off at big odds for stable debut at Southwell. |

11th 12 (12) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won twice at Dundalk (1m, AW) last winter but he was out of sorts in final five runs in Ireland; left David Marnane for 6,000gns last September; has plenty to prove on return for new yard and he's untried on Tapeta; stablemate of Tribal Wisdom. |
20/1 |

Both wins and most runs at Dundalk; 0-5 on turf, bit more encouraging behind Star Mind at Naas on latest but good bit more required here. |
