8st 10lb |
Two AW wins at 5f/6f this spring; met her match in Call Margot at Southwell (5f, AW) in April but showed her fighting spirit when refusing to give up her lead back on turf at Beverley (5f, good to soft) since; much bigger question here, up 4lb in a better race on a very different track. |

4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won AW handicaps at Southwell in February (5f) and Newcastle in March (6f); beaten 1.5l off this mark when third in a 5f Southwell handicap last time (Artista fourth) and could go well if as effective on turf. |
9/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Improved for the drop to 5f when 1.5l too strong for Call Margot over C&D in February; defied a 7lb rise when narrowly winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle 19 days ago, form that was given a handsome boost when the runner-up won at Lingfield on Good Friday; another 4lb higher today but there could well be more in the tank and her attitude will continue to stand her in good stead. |

Son of Pinatubo who has shaped with promise when third on both his starts this season, not enjoying a clear passage when third of 14 in 5f Beverley handicap 27 days ago; a likely player off an unchanged mark. |

Unexposed; best efforts have been on the AW, notably when close third over 6f at Southwell last time; back down in trip but could go well from stall 2 if as effective on turf. |

11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |

Weights chance on defeat of Saucy Jane on Pontefract form (5f) last spring, when they finished first and second, but some water under the bridge since then and he ran one of his lesser races on sole AW start, at Newcastle in June; needs to have improved during his break to win today. |

Made the frame on all three 2yo starts (5f-6f) and again showed clear promise when fifth of 14 on recent seasonal/handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft), despite racing too freely in the early stages and hanging left at the business end; back up in trip and 2lb lower here; a possible. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Going nowhere at halfway but the penny dropped in the closing stages of his Leicester debut 24 days ago and he was only beaten a neck into third at the finish (5f, good to soft); 6f should suit and he is open to improvement; good chance in an uncompetitive race. |

Won Ayr maiden and Redcar novice (6f, good/good to firm) last summer but he hasn't matched that level in handicaps since; never-dangerous sixth of 14 at Beverley (5f, good to soft) last month but well held over 7f at York 13 days ago; drops back to 6f with a place squeak. |

In the frame on all five starts last season, including when fourth on handicap debut over C&D on final outing (2-1 favourite); pulled hard when below-par on Beverley reappearance (5f, good to soft) but should come on for the run; interesting down in grade. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Three promising runs in sprint maiden/novice events, showing his best form when chasing home a 78-rated rival at Redcar six weeks ago (5f, good); a repeat of that form would give him leading claims here; promise on good to soft, unraced on slower. |

Won a C&D claimer on his second start as a 2yo last May (good); three good runs in nurseries after that; finished in front of a couple of today's rivals when a creditable fourth at Ripon on reappearance (6f, good to soft); interesting back at 5f. |

Down the field on his handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month but ran a bit better when fourth of 11 at Haydock (6f, soft) 15 days ago; better still needed. |

Made it 0-6 when disappointing favourite in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on recent handicap debut at Beverley (5f, good to soft); it's hard to be confident on the back of that but he was runner-up three times previously and is effective on soft ground, so it's too soon to write him off. |

Eight-race maiden who was safely held over 5f on first two starts for new stable this spring, albeit having encountered traffic on first occasion; ought to be suited by this move back up in trip, though, and may yet come good for David O'Meara. |

Some fair efforts at up to 7f for Richard Fahey and Charlie Clover last season; bought for 16,000gns in October; had no luck in running on Catterick reappearance (5f, good) and is much better than he showed there; interesting from good draw. |
