28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Successful three times in May/June but his progress has seemingly come to an end; admittedly may benefit from this drop back in grade after a couple of Class 3 defeats. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In good form on turf until folding tamely and well held last time; consistent in defeat on AW (four attempts) but he's 9lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who has won three times this season (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm/good) and again ran well when third of five at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
This course scorer might have needed his recent reappearance and is well treated if bouncing back to his best, having returned to the mark he defied at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm) last August; also went close over C&D last summer; cheekpieces off, visor back on; yard hasn't been as prolific as usual in the last couple of weeks but that's likely to change before long. |
11/4 |

5th 2 (8) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Wore cheekpieces when just holding on in six-runner July course handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in August; visored when he stopped quickly on good to soft at Nottingham in October and not seen since a hurdles debut the following month; cheekpieces back on for this return. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Disappointed when last in action and remains on a losing streak but competes off new career-low mark here and will be suited by the trip-and-surface combination; hooded for first time; can't be ruled out. |
10/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Hasn't won for a while but his turn will come and a tactical race didn't suit when third to Spanish Hustle here recently. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
No win since taking a Class 2 at Sandown (1m2f) in July 2023; kicked off 2025 with a pleasing AW effort at Newcastle (runner-up from 4lb higher) but unable to build positively on that since; latest 1m4f Ripon third (Haptics sixth) respectable but the wait for another win may go on. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
First two wins were at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) and last two have been over C&D (good to soft/good); his last success was on his stable debut last month and he backed that up with a front-running second at Pontefract (1m4f) last week; that was a four-runner race but he chased home a progressive stablemate who has scored again since; respected off same mark. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 (2) |
8th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time winner for Stuart Williams (1m4f, AW/good); made a winning debut for Liam Bailey when dictating matters in a five-runner handicap at Ripon last time (1m4f, good; cheekpieces back on); headgear retained; up 4lb; contender. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (2) |
28th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Made all in this race off 2lb higher on good to soft for Jedd O'Keeffe last year; drew a blank in six outings for Stuart Williams but latest 1m4f Doncaster third on good to firm was respectable; sold for 8,000gns since; could make another bold bid in this race. |

5th Jul 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Eight-time AW winner, including thrice at Southwell; close third in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle last weekend when returned to this sphere; back up 2lb but takes a drop back in grade; solid chance. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four (one here) over 2m in 2025; AW has dominated his career; three of his last four turf starts were respectable and he's edging down the weights, so not entirely dismissed. |
25/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 2y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Very busy and he's had his share of wins, including four over 2m in 2025, but that's been mostly on AW which has dominated his career; best turf ratings two and three runs back before tailed off (might have overdone it up front) at Goodwood latest; again has just four rivals today but others are preferred. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Four Flat wins in France where he also pulled up only previous hurdle start; respectable Flat form for David O'Meara but has been below his best in that scene for current yard (two runs). |
6/1 |
|
1 (2) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four wins in France, two on the AW; failed to win in seven runs for David O'Meara, best effort when runner-up at Hamilton in June (1m5f, good); tailed off at Chepstow this month on stable debut (1m4f, good to soft; 22-1); cheekpieces are now tried; best watched. |
7/1 |

12th 8 (4) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Four French wins (10.5f-1m4f) but failed to win in seven attempts for David O'Meara, the latest when fourth of five at Hamilton three weeks ago; has joined another stable which does really well with new recruits but others arrives with more pressing claims. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Flat winner who is 0-8 over hurdles but hasn't been running badly; more new headgear tried but can go well. |
14/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Yet to score in this sphere but he arrives in good form, fourth of nine in 2m Perth handicap 13 days ago; he can make his presence felt again with blinkers added. |
9/2 |

4th 4 |
25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful at his best on the Flat; 0-6 over hurdles but was third off today's mark over C&D (good) in July and also ran well when filling same position at Kelso (2m2f, good) last week; one to consider. |
7/2 |
