7th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Best form on good to soft or slower but won twice on good ground in June and he's only 1lb higher than for the Ffos Las win (6f); beaten on AW twice since but the return to turf is a plus. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner who ran as well as could have been expected in a Tapeta claimer on tough terms last time; that effort confirmed him still in form but there's not much wiggle room off this mark. |

Unfavourably treated on these terms but he's in form after back-to-back handicap wins at 6f; should give his running. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Narrow winner of a 6f handicap here (good to soft) in May and that has been followed by three similar efforts in defeat; creeping up the weights so she will need a bit more now back up to 7f. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 4 (7) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Back to form when scoring over C&D (good to soft) last month and has made the frame twice since over C&D; she looks sure to be thereabouts. |
15/8 |

2nd 4 (1) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Back to winning ways when leading late in a C&D handicap last month (good to soft); not quite so good when fourth to Too Much Trevor nine days ago but it was still a fair effort; shouldn't be far away. |

1st 8 (11) |
20th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Five-race maiden who has finished third in both starts since switching to handicap company, most recently at Wolverhampton over 7f last month; didn't look to be crying out for this step up to 1m but has each-way claims if seeing it out. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (3) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Moderate form in her three qualifying starts but improved on entering this sphere at Chepstow (6f, good) latest, when she raced prominently but didn't quite have the pace late on; the step up in trip looks positive for her first start on Tapeta; drops 2lb; not ruled out. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 (5) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Modest form in her three runs in 6f novice/maiden company (peak RPR of 45); Rossa Ryan booked for her handicap debut and this isn't a deep race; worth a market check. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Three course wins already this year, the latest by a neck over 7f (good to firm) 13 days ago (won on soft ground in June); placed four times from six starts over C&D and could go well again despite being 3lb out of the weights. |
12/1 |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 5 |

C&D winner in July off 2lb lower; below that level since and he's the most exposed of these (2-36). |

3rd 3 (11) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Only 2lb higher than when fending off Ajrad and Scarfo here last month (7f) but never threatened to follow up 16 days ago, again here; however, consistent in the main and couldn't rule out. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Not disgraced when fourth of eight at Ffos Las (7f, good) last time and although 1lb out of the weights, is still 2lb lower than when gaining her sole success over C&D (soft; first-time cheekpieces) a year ago; worth a second look. |
10/1 |

4th 4 (4) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Inconsistent filly who offered more on her second run back a fortnight ago, when finding 6f an inadequate test (sole win came over this trip on soft ground); bit to find at the weights but is capable if on a going day. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (6) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
7f win on soft ground here last September; 2lb lower today and she should be sharper with last month's reappearance behind her; others look safer. |

Seven wins include three here (5f/6f), but not operating at the same level these days; needs a resurgence. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven wins include two at this track over 6f (good to soft/good to firm) but her last success came in October 2024; beat only one rival home on her reappearance here over 6f last month and now drops back in trip on her return to classified company. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Mudlark who starts her campaign off a lowly mark; she has a nine-month absence to overcome, however, and that hasn't been the time to catch her in previous seasons. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
