12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Held up this season, winning four of those five starts; that includes 1m4f handicaps at Epsom (good), Catterick (soft) and Thirsk (good) on last three outings, well on top when forging clear on the last two occasions and she's well treated under a penalty for scoring last Saturday. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Held up this season, winning a 1m2f novice at Bath (firm) in May and 1m4f handicaps at Epsom (good) and Catterick (soft) in July; up another 8lb but she stayed on strongly to forge clear last time and is open to more progress; strong contender in hat-trick bid. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential. |
16/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Course winner who was beaten by a short head at Hamilton (1m4f, soft) last time; she excels at Hamilton and has never won over a trip this short, but her surplus stamina may be no bad thing given the testing conditions. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
22nd Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable. |

18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |
6/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 6 (7) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |

Consistent last July-September and nicely treated on that form; however, she hasn't been at the same level on her two outings this year. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (5) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made the frame four consecutive times last July-September (1m3f-2m), but made a low-key reappearance last week and is probably better suited by a stiffer test of stamina than this now. |
7/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Ended last season with a spell of consistent efforts and has frame possibilities provided she returns in similar form; whether she can end a losing spell is another matter (no win since 2023). |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Scored over C&D last May for Brian Ellison; yet to fire for his new yard in handicaps at Wolverhampton (1m4f) and Lingfield (2m) this spring though. |
14/1 |

5th 4 (1) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
A fair 1m6f scorer for Brian Ellison in 2025; beat only one for his new handler after seven months off in 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton last month; needs to take a big step forward. |
16/1 |
|
6th 7 (3) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Debuts for a fourth yard having been picked up from Brian Ellison last autumn for 7,500gns; won first time out as a 2yo and on his comeback last spring, which gives hope, but there's not much room for manoeuvre off this mark. |

Recent form has been patchy, but he's now 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in May; each-way claims if he can reproduce that sort of form; stable also runs Hosanna Power. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |

Both wins at 1m2f, on good to firm and the AW; third at Beverley last month before struggling in a Class 4; could go well, though has mostly steered clear of slow ground. |

Flat winner for David O'Meara was tailed off when 50/1 on stable/hurdles debut at Killarney; hard to fancy. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Bought for 10,000gns after losing his form in two starts following a breakthrough Flat win at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) in August for David O'Meara; others more likely. |
