23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Recorded his sixth victory of the year with a career-best effort in 5.4f handicap at York 16 days ago; he's also a winner in the mud so must enter calculations once more. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
He has enjoyed a fine season, winning five handicaps, and he ran another sound race when fourth in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon three weeks ago; this intermediate trip should suit and he's versatile where the going is concerned; likely to run well but might find a few better treated. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
He's enjoyed a fine year and although he's come unstuck on his last two starts, he did too much early at York and then raced up the middle in the Stewards' Cup; earlier Ascot win off just 2lb lower was a fine effort; first visit to Ripon but he has won on the undulations at Epsom; drawn against the rail and a big run would seem likely. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive last year, with his three wins including two at Ascot (one over C&D); confirmed his affinity for the track with a good fourth in the Wokingham three weeks ago, a race where he was finishing fast up the stands' rail and comfortably beating the others to race on that part of the track; 1lb rise manageable but with the stalls on the stands' side there must be a query over the suitability of stall 1. |

4th 29 (29) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Regularly runs well in big-field sprints and in fine form here in 2024, finishing a close second of 26 over C&D before winning both subsequent starts (good and soft); may be high in the weights relative to this class of race but he shouldn't be far away following a luckless Goodwood run and then slightly short of room at York since. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (12) |
14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Made good progress last season, winning handicaps over C&D and twice at Ascot (5f and 6f); unplaced twice this year but looked to need the run at Southwell and then met plenty of trouble at Goodwood 12 days ago (saw little daylight between 2f out and 1f out as the race was unfolding); 1lb lower today and Oisin Murphy, who won on him at Ascot in October, takes over; still has something to prove on good to firm, albeit he had a bleak draw when well held at the Ebor meeting last year. |

23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
He's got back on track in a major way in 5f handicaps this spring, winning at Newmarket then impressively making all in a big field at York last week (both on good ground; effective on soft early in career); back up in grade this afternoon but this thriving 5yo could be capable of another bold bid. |
8/1 |

1st 2 (18) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Snapped a lengthy losing sequence when making virtually all to win at Newmarket (5f, good) last month on his reappearance; he needs to back up that performance but did it comfortably last time and, following a 5lb rise, remains well treated on his historic exploits; a possible. |

Latest three wins were over C&D (good to firm and good) and although her most recent efforts haven't been up to much (in cheekpieces the last twice, now discarded) she was thereabouts in two strong 6f handicaps here in the spring; might be all the better for a recent break and not dismissed. |
10/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Had an excellent 2024 season, winning two over 6f and close up in strong 5f handicaps (all on good or quicker ground) as well; this season hasn't been going so swimmingly, though, with fitting cheekpieces no obvious help at Ascot (back over 5f) 17 days ago; has to turn things round. |
7/1 |

5 (13) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Fourth in last season's Palace Of Holyroodhouse over C&D and she's rated 2lb lower now; hasn't found her best yet in 2025 but cheekpieces are now added and the stable is in good form; interesting. |

Strong 6f form here until a disappointing run eight days ago, tanking through the race but finding little off the bridle; should be fine back at 5f and he remains on a dangerous mark. |
7/2 |

9th 7 (3) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has turf form but starting to look like an AW specialist, rewarding market support when seeing off Heavenly Heather and 11 others over C&D two months ago; weighted to confirm the form with his old adversary and he is still 2lb lower than for his fine C&D second last May; strong claims. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Began his time with Julie Camacho with two solid runs in the spring, notably when second of 13 at Newcastle (6f); things have gone south since, albeit in top sprints, and a wind operation didn't arrest the slide at Haydock four weeks ago; cheekpieces return (ran well over 7f here in one previous use); stable also runs Solar Aclaim. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Useful on his day for Brian Meehan, third to subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair over C&D (good to firm) last spring off an 11lb higher mark; might have needed both his runs for new connections, midfield over C&D at the Dante meeting last time; very dangerous if staging a revival. |

11th 13 (20) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
His form has gone the wrong way since he was third in this last year (good to firm), behind two subsequent Group-race winners, and he needs a good step forward from his recent stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) where he was seventh; however, he's 8lb lower than 12 months ago and could be just the type that David O'Meara excels with; interesting contender. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Strong traveller who can be slowly away; first handicap win when beating Existent at Goodwood (5f, good) last May; treading water during the summer but he did well when a close third of 21 from a tough draw in the Portland (extended 5f, good) in September and a subsequent Ascot defeat by a well-treated rival was another solid run given the race didn't go his way; claims. |
5/1 |

5 (7) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Just two wins to his name but he has plenty of ability and comes here in top form, most recently coming from well back to snatch second at Ascot three weeks ago (5f, soft); slow starts are a thorn in his side but no surprise to see him arriving on the scene late; new visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Won at Chester (5f, good) last May and he's run some good races in big fields since including at York four days ago; finished eighth of 21 in that race but he didn't get much luck and that was an eye-catching effort after 235 days off; interesting contender. |

Never a threat after a slow start in the corresponding race 12 months ago; as good as ever when winning at Sandown and Ascot (came from well back) in August/September and two subsequent defeats excusable (ground/Listed race); 3-8 on soft or worse but might be better suited by a stiffer finish. |

At least as good as ever this year, winning handicaps at Sandown (5f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) in September; found things happening too quickly at Haydock last Saturday and she's in deeper today, but she does go really well at Ascot and the more rain that falls the better. |

Likeable mare with eight wins to her name, including at Sandown (5f, soft) and Ascot (5f, good to soft) in the last four weeks; impossible to rule out but she's gone up 13lb in total for those successes and she'll need a career best to complete the hat-trick. |

Won the big-field 3yo Dash at Epsom (5f, good) last June and landed another quality handicap at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in July; she lacks a recent run and there is a suspicion that 6f is her optimum trip, but she'll get a strong pace to aim at today and is not ruled out off a competitive mark. |
