5th 5 (3) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ended a losing run with a front-running 6f win at Thirsk in April; not so good since but he is well drawn to attack and this track suits his aggressive racing style; one to take seriously. |
7/1 |
|
8th 8 (9) |
4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Seemingly perked up by change of headgear when winning from the front at Thirsk (6f, good; first-time visor) in April and again ran well when third of 17 over that C&D last month; high on the list. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 11 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
A switch of headgear saw him end a losing run when making most in a big-field handicap over C&D last month; not in the same form when third at Southwell 16 days ago; no surprise to see him bounce back. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner but likes the stiffer finish of Hamilton and got a tad outpaced before running on over C&D last month; however, she's closely matched with the winner Night Emperor and has to enter the reckoning. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 1 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner; form dipped at Thirsk four weeks ago but she's the type to bounce back quickly; can get it wrong at the start but she is still more appealing than many. |
4/1 |
|
13th 1 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
She has run some good races in big-field handicaps over C&D and this is her level; not far off her recent best at Carlisle 16 days ago; each-way shout if getting it right at the start. |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Doesn't win very often but had her day in the sun when making all over C&D in June off 4lb lower; largely consistent since but win record of 1-20 on turf is offputting. |
7/2 |
|
4th 6 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Made all to win a C&D handicap last month; in and out since but she wasn't beaten far at Ayr on Monday and this mark is unlikely to prove beyond her; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
4th 3 (9) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made all at Musselburgh (5f, good) in June but she's been up and down since and was a well-held fourth at Hamilton last time; overall record is now 2-30 and she comes with risks attached; one of three runners for the yard. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Some creditable efforts in handicaps including when third at Redcar (6f, good) last month, but his form nosedived at Ayr two weeks ago and he's now 0-10. |
33/1 |
|
10th 8 (9) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Still seeking his first win (0-9); one of two to race on the far side when third at Redcar (6f, good; 5-1) a fortnight ago; should find a winning opportunity eventually but there are at least a couple of others who make more appeal here. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 8 (2) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
From a family the stable has enjoyed success with and he ran on to take a never-dangerous fourth (of 17) on his Thirsk return 19 days ago; has time to do better but he didn't look overly enthusiastic at Thirsk. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
In fine form on the AW this winter, landing back-to-back 6f handicaps at Wolverhampton and Southwell recently; very lightly raced on turf but still merits serious consideration in his hat-trick bid. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (8) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Landed a sixth victory on Tapeta when going in at Wolverhampton off 3lb lower three weeks ago; never won off a mark quite this high but gives his trainer, who also run He's An Angel, a decent hand. |
7/2 |
|
1st 6 (1) |
23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

All five wins have been on Tapeta and last three have come over C&D; finished a remote third at Southwell 12 days ago but that was behind a handicap blot and he was in good form before that run; shortlisted. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Started off well for Ruth Carr, although did appear to throw away (hung right) a winning opportunity when runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good) in May; better than bare facts - denied a clear run - when sixth of nine at Thirsk latest; fairly treated, so isn't discounted. |
15/2 |
|
6th 2 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner last April when trained by Declan Carroll; runner-up in two of his six starts since joining this stable and shaped as if still in form when sixth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago; can go well if things drop right (usually held up). |

26th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All eight wins have been on good ground on slower; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk (6f, good) in May and has posted two good efforts since, the most recent coming when third of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; off since but has to be respected. |
11/8 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
All eight wins have been on good or slower and last six have been over 6f; made it 2-2 in blinkers when beating 16 rivals at Thirsk last month and she ran well again when fourth in hat-trick bid at Nottingham (6f, good) on Wednesday; should be in the thick of things again and it would be a positive if rain arrives. |
7/2 |
|
4th 5 (12) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Had blinkers on for the first time when winning at Redcar (6f, good; has won on soft) last month and followed up at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago, beating 16 rivals; back up another 7lb but can't be dismissed in her bid for the hat-trick. |

8st 7lb |
Won two in a row in May (6f, good to firm/good) and finished close up on final two runs for Ben Haslam (6f, good to soft); changed hands for 14,000gns recently and he should be fine back up to 7f on his stable debut; might not be far away in a first-time visor. |
33/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who has thrived since sent handicapping, landing 6f handicaps at Ayr (good to firm) and Ripon (good) last month; another good run when third at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) last night; not taken at all lightly. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
9th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |

Comes into this in good form having won over 6f at Ayr (good to firm) and Ripon (good) last month; up 10lb (5lb higher than last time) and a contender, but softer ground a concern. |

7th 3 (6) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

11-time winner who scored twice last year but he's been generally disappointing in six runs this season; handles most ground but he needs to raise his game to make a serious impact. |
15/2 |

4th 8 (1) |
18th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

5th 12 (9) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

Eight-race maiden who has dropped 11lb in the weights since introduced to handicapping; attracted market support when a creditable fourth to Irish Dancer at Catterick (5f, good) last week; return to 6f should suit; dangerous to dismiss. |

Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |

Game effort to win over C&D in February off 1lb lower; only run since came at Thirsk 12 days ago when easy to back and dropping right away in the race won by Eldeyaar; racecourse evidence suggests he will be much happier now back on AW. |
