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. |
7/1 |

Two AW wins this year; met plenty of trouble when down the field at Newcastle last week but still makes only limited appeal tonight. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Sole turf success came at Redcar (1m, good to firm) in August; he is now 16lb higher after a productive spell on AW and finished 12l adrift when returned to turf over C&D last month; down the list despite his yard being in fine form. |
33/1 |
|
8th 10 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three 1m wins on Southwell AW this year; has also won on turf but he's 15lb higher than when last seen on grass in the autumn so needs to show his form on this surface can keep pace with the AW improvement. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Record over C&D currently reads 22115112; didn't look to have any excuses in a race run to suit here three weeks ago and it's possible he's reached his ceiling mark now, but he's ultra consistent and looks set to get involved once again. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 but she ran well for a long way when third of six in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that trip seemed to stretch her and she could make a bold bid on this drop back to 1m2f; first-time blinkers. |
100/30 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Only had the seven races and could improve for going this far judged on her keeping-on fifth over 1m2f at Pontefract; was beaten only 2.5l that day. |
2/1 |
|
5th 4 (4) |
2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Newmarket raider; six-race maiden who is proving reasonably consistent and whose handicap efforts, all at about 1m, suggest this step up in distance may well prompt progress; first success is conceivable. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Sole success came over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he isn't very consistent and ran particularly poorly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last time; has questions to answer. |
14/1 |
|
8th 6 (2) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Beat 13 rivals to win at Redcar (7f, good to firm) last month on his second start of the season; failed to back that up when sixth there (7f, good) last time and this is his first crack at 6f, but he's not discounted. |
6/1 |
|
6th 6 (8) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Built on an encouraging AW reappearance when gaining a breakthrough win in 14-runner C&D handicap (good to firm; Mayo County third) 17 days ago; they were quite well strung out in behind (over 4l back to the fourth) so a 3lb rise looks manageable. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (4) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his fourth win at his track when coming from off the pace to win by a neck here in January; kept on into fifth behind Avatar Jet over C&D 12 days ago and has each-way claims if this is run to suit. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time course winner, all in the winter months, latterly off this mark in January; usually misses the break and again hung left when behind Marry The Night over C&D last time; a stronger pace would help for last year's winning yard. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Four-time Tapeta winner, including three times this year, all off lower marks; turned in a career best on turf five weeks ago (7f, good to firm) and holds claims on that for a yard among the winners. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 4 (2) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Gained all four wins on Tapeta, the last three over 1m this year; well down the field when back on turf last month, though, and this drop back to 7f may not be ideal. |

8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Gained second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and has continued in good form, refitted in cheekpieces when fourth of seven at Musselburgh (1m) 16 days ago; that form has been franked so he can go well again. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Gained his second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and posted a good third of 12 in 1m Carlisle handicap a week ago; this course winner rates a player off an unchanged mark. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 1 (11) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Just 1lb higher than for this season's two wins, the latest a last-gasp success at Leicester last month (1m, good to firm); unplaced twice since; others appeal more. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Struggled since winning a Polytrack maiden for the Crisford team last August and has come more than a stone down the weights for his current yard this season; goes beyond an extended 1m for the first time and is hard to recommend. |
25/1 |
|
14th 11 (12) |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 213y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
AW winner for previous yard; inconsistent for new stable but ran encouragingly at Redcar (1m) in most recent turf attempt; could go well. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Wildly inconsistent for the Crisford yard and his current trainer; one of his better efforts back on turf last time but he's no certainty to build on it and his four previous efforts on Tapeta were ordinary. |
12/1 |
