21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Second to Jenever over C&D last October but held by that rival at the revised weights; his form has dipped on his last two starts but he's capable of a prominent showing. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
First crack at shy of 6f when well held at Brighton (5.3f) last time; still only has a Tapeta maiden win to his name and has had his moments at the stalls; another furlong would have looked optimal round here. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 (6) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
His sole success from 12 attempts came in a small-field 6f AW maiden last March; plenty of solid runs in handicaps (turf and AW) since and belatedly dropping to 5f, albeit an extended one, could give him a lift. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two runner-up finishes for his new yard prior to scrambling home in a 6f handicap at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago; 4lb rise not obviously generous but the new cheekpieces could help; promise on good to soft as a 2yo. |
9/2 |
|
1st 6 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Started nurseries on an unrealistic mark for Richard Hannon but has found his level again now, narrowly being denied off 1lb lower last time (best of the group that started out racing near side at Nottingham); this half-brother to a C&D winner is shortlisted. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won a Newmarket novice (6f, good) last May, his third start, but beaten 11 times since including all four runs for John Butler; his penultimate second at Thirsk was a good run though and when down the field at York last time it was a Class 4; not out of it. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Yet to score this season but largely running well, posting a solid fourth of eight in 6f Carlisle handicap 16 days ago; this C&D winner can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Yet to win this season but has dropped to a good mark and was close third in refitted visor at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; blinkers are the headgear of choice today; might be the answer. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 (1) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Like many from the yard he has had a quiet year but he has dropped down the weights and is now 6lb lower than for his C&D win last October; quite possible the winners will start flowing for Jessica Macey now and he's of some interest. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored off this mark at Thirsk in May; has generally run to form since but he hasn't been at his best in two visits to Ripon; new headgear tried this afternoon. |
20/1 |
|
4th 6 (9) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple winner over 5f-7f, including here; versatile regarding ground; 1lb higher than latest win at Thirsk in May; matched that effort on his penultimate start but may find a couple too good on these terms. |
10/1 |
|
4th 1 (6) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins and a second from three visits to Nottingham, all over this trip on fast ground; 1lb higher than for his latest second; one to take seriously. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not an instant success for new stable this season but won easily by 4l off much-reduced mark at Carlisle (5.8f, good) ten days ago and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under 5lb penalty here; commands respect. |
11/10 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time visor when fifth of 19 at York (6f, good to firm) last month but failed to build on that performance when favourite at Nottingham three weeks ago and is now 0-7 for David O'Meara. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Unplaced in six runs for David O'Meara, but he's tumbling down the weights and he showed more at York (6f, good to firm; visored first time) ten days ago; this is a drop in class and something bigger is brewing. |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Better on AW than turf but handicapped accordingly; not beaten far at Wetherby on his penultimate start but this is a better race and he has since finished down the field at Wolverhampton. |
16/1 |
|
8th 3 (6) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has won here but at his best at Newcastle where he has gained his last four wins; can ruin chance by starting slowly but is not firing on all cylinders at present anyway; best to wait until he returns to Newcastle. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Better on the AW, but has a 15lb lower rating on turf; Newcastle winner in March; not disgraced on latest turf start at Beverley last month, but modest effort in a visor (on again) on Tapeta last time; a possible. |
