29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
AW winner (5f) for Karl Burke as a 2yo; ran well over C&D on last season's reappearance and his fourth in a big field at York on his handicap debut came off a 3lb higher mark; two subsequent efforts are excusable (Listed company and then 7f on slow ground); sold for 32,000gns in October; unexposed as a sprinter and now drops in class; stable also runs Sixtygeesbaby. |

5th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Speedily bred 3yo who has fairly useful form over sprint trips on home soil; came up short in French Listed event most recently; not certain to see out this stiff 7f. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Below par last time but consistent otherwise of late and may well rebound, especially back at Pontefract; form here features two wins in 2025 and a close second this spring. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Closed out last season with a pair of soft-ground wins and has resumed in good form off his revised mark, latterly when having two of these behind at Chester last weekend; adaptable as regards ground and tactics, and can't be discounted. |
8/1 |

2nd 16 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ended 2025 in top form and he has returned to action with two solid placed efforts; 2lb ahead of the handicapper and no obvious reason why he wouldn't give it another good shot. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 6f Ripon maiden last June and stays 7f; 0-13 in handicaps, however, and others present stronger cases despite his career-low mark. |
14/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won a C&D maiden (good) last June on his second start for Tim Easterby; returned after a lengthy absence with a creditable fifth here (6f, good to soft) last month and ran another solid race at Pontefract last time; still looks on a workable mark and he shouldn't be far away. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
His two wins came on good to soft ground over 6f, including here off this mark last June; entitled to have needed his recent comeback from nine months off, when leading for a long way, and he's low mileage compared to most of these; first run over 5f. |
10/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Disappointed at Ayr when last seen 282 days ago; he had looked promising beforehand though and still has potential; can go well fresh but he is held by Sixtygeesbaby on their Doncaster run 12 months ago. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Went close over C&D (good) last September on final run for Tom Clover and now 3lb lower; David O'Meara should find the key to him at some point but he's been below his best on his first three runs for the yard. |
5/1 |
|
5th 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Not at his best in two runs for David O'Meara but on good to soft ground; possible this return to a faster surface will help and he's undoubtedly well handicapped if it does; waters muddied slightly by the stable also having Veblen Good in the race. |
4/1 |
|
13th 1 (15) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a good second at Newmarket (6f, good), after which he changed hands for 50,000gns; only eighth (of 19) on his stable debut at Doncaster 18 days ago but he wasn't well drawn as things panned out and he ran as though the run would bring him on; remains a sprinter of interest. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Underwent wind surgery prior to his Doncaster novice success last July (6f, good); ran well in a 7f handicap at York two weeks later but his form dropped off afterwards; gelded during his absence; dangerous mark but may find others having his measure now back from a break. |
12/1 |
|
10th 11 (13) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from wind surgery with a 6f novice win at Doncaster in July and subsequently achieved more when a close fourth of 16 in a 7f handicap at York in July; not so tempting on subsequent runs though and offputting he declined a soft-ground race last month. |
12/1 |
