18th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Wins have come over further, aside from one over a stiff 7f, and his record here has been patchy at best; this is rather tougher than the Wolverhampton 0-55 he won off a 5lb lower mark when last seen in May. |

C&D winner who has dropped 4lb lower than when last successful, but has shown little since returning last November (hooded last three outings); best watched unless market suggests otherwise; stable also runs Good Humor. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to a track that suits as his form at Pontefract features wins in 2024/2025 and a resurgent effort (close third) in latest start; faces some unexposed types among his younger rivals but holds a solid chance. |

Six of his seven wins have been on AW and yet to win beyond 8.5f; second of 11 at Pontefract (1m, good) ten days ago where he stayed on to suggest this longer trip should suit. |

14th Aug 2023 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Went close off 5lb higher at Ripon (1m, soft) in May but that was in a four-runner race and down the field in last three runs; record now stands at 0-10 and others are more persuasive; change of headgear. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Latest chase win on this track (2m1f, good to soft; several wins on good) in June; creditable hurdle run the time before but below best in this sphere subsequently, including over C&D latest; needs revival. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Six-time chase winner, who won here (2m1f, good to soft) in June and was runner-up back at this track on Saturday; his hurdling defeat at Uttoxeter on penultimate run was in an unsatisfactory race (most flights omitted) and he's not ruled out back in this sphere. |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Last win away from Newcastle was in 2021; slow starts have been holding him back so both classified fourths over C&D this month can arguably be upgraded; chance rests largely on the start. |

24th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Some early promise for David O'Meara, but hasn't built on it and probably flattered by his fifth of six in a Newcastle handicap (1m, AW) on his penultimate outing; needs to improve for the cheekpieces (has worn a visor). |

First-time visor and belatedly returning to turf when he snapped a losing run over C&D 12 days ago (good to firm); won well enough to earn this 7lb higher mark and must go well if as good in the new blinkers. |

Twice in the frame on Tapeta this year but was always in rear on that surface last month and remains without a win since October 2021; swaps hood for first-time visor on this first turf start since August 2021; stable has more obvious chance with Red Evelyn. |
