1st 6 (8) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 6lb |
Won three handicaps in Britain for Sir Mark Prescott; very pleasing start for this stable when a 2.75l third of 9 in a Cork Group 3 (1m4f, good) behind the promising Sparan Nua; a bit to find on paper here, but will love the ground and more black type could be on the cards. |

14th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Productive 2025 campaign for Sir Mark Prescott included a 1m4f handicap hat-trick; signed off from former yard well beaten in Listed company on AW at Lingfield (1m5f); purchased for 150,000gns in the meantime and has the rating to get involved, but trainer's other runner, Perfect Your Craft, is arguably more interesting. |

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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time winner who didn't get the breaks when sixth on her stable debut at Newcastle at the start of May and she went down narrowly at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) 17 days later; these conditions should be fine and she warrants consideration. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
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. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Five-runner race at Carlisle (1m3f) last Saturday was first win since 2023 and she's a dependable sort who finished a C&D second (twice) and fourth in July 2024 and 2025 on her only three appearances at York; going back up 5lb since Carlisle seems to pose the difficulty but she should be on the premises. |
13/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Five-time winner who hasn't won since 2023 but she's run with credit on many subsequent occasions, including on her only visit here when second under Joanna Mason in this race last year; back in form on her last two starts and she's in calculations. |
4/1 |
|
4th 3 (2) |
22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No win since completing a three-timer at 1m4f-2m in the autumn of 2023; however, she ran her best race of the year when going close at Thirsk (1m4f, good) last month; has a good run in her back up in trip. |

On a good mark and knows how to win; however, three of his four runs since a break have been underwhelming. |

5th 1 (6) |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner last year, latterly off 4lb higher, who's running in a 0-65 for the first time; finished last on his latest start but wasn't beaten far and Cieren Fallon (0-5 for the yard) is a positive booking; ought to fare better. |

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 on fast ground for David O'Meara; huge odds and well held in three maiden hurdles for this yard at 2m-2m1f; potential improver stepped up in trip for handicap debut. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |

Flat winner has been soundly beaten at long odds in maiden hurdles at Killarney and Ballinrobe; will do better when handicapping. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |

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