23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Useful on his day for Brian Meehan, third to subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair over C&D (good to firm) last spring off an 11lb higher mark; might have needed both his runs for new connections, midfield over C&D at the Dante meeting last time; very dangerous if staging a revival. |
10/1 |

11th 13 (20) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
His form has gone the wrong way since he was third in this last year (good to firm), behind two subsequent Group-race winners, and he needs a good step forward from his recent stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) where he was seventh; however, he's 8lb lower than 12 months ago and could be just the type that David O'Meara excels with; interesting contender. |
20/1 |

7th 3 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Poor strike-rate for one of his ability when trained by Brian Meehan but he can go well fresh and is starting out for David O'Meara (sold 22,000gns last October) off a dangerous mark, some 6lb lower than when third in a hot 5f handicap at York's Dante meeting last May; possible he'll have one eye on that prize but still more interesting than many. |

12th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Strike-rate of 2-30 and her habit of starting slowly appears to be going nowhere; opposable. |
25/1 |
|
9th 8 (5) |
7th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
8st 7lb |
Habitual slow-starter; late headway into fourth behind Ay Gee Ell over C&D in December but less good over 6f on her last two starts; others look stronger for win purposes. |
33/1 |
|
5th 8 (4) |
5th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Just 2lb above her winning mark at Goodwood (6f) in June but getting away on terms has become a problem and she was borderline reluctant to race last month; 0-6 on AW and best watched. |

8th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 60y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins on good ground, latest at Bath (5.7f) in May during a consistent spell; form dipped in last three runs, latest with tongue-tie applied (retained); needs to rebound. |
10/1 |
|
8th 14 (5) |
1st Oct 2024 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins on good ground, latest over C&D in May during a consistent spell; form dipped the last twice; chance of rebound depends on how well he responds to first-time tongue-tie. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 (7) |
26th Aug 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Has been placed on soft but both wins on good, most recently at Bath (extended 5f) in May; mostly consistent otherwise but he was nowhere near his best at Brighton recently so that needs overlooking. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
All three wins for this yard at about 1m2f on a wide range of surfaces, most recently when making a winning return to action at Haydock (made all, just hung on) in April; also effective at 1m but raised 4lb to a career-high mark; non-runner 2.55 York on Friday. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Back to winning ways with a front-running 10.3f success in the mud at Chester last September; this course winner will need to return at the top of his game if he is to defy this 4lb higher mark. |

9th 5 (9) |
18th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Creditable third in a Wolverhampton handicap (5f, tongue-tie added) on Boxing Day but he didn't match that form at that same track 16 days ago; record is now 0-8 and he needs more progress at this new trip. |
7/2 |
|
3 (5) |
2nd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Heavily backed on his nursery debut at Lingfield four weeks ago but he was disappointing in sixth, finishing behind a couple of today's rivals; better when tried in a tongue-tie here last week, keeping on for third having been tapped for speed in the straight; progress required to win. |

23rd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
11-race maiden but he's run some fair races this winter, including one run in blinkers at Lingfield last month; latest C&D run (cheekpieces) was a backward step though. |
10/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
21st Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
bumped start, midfield, outpaced over 2f out, brought down over 2f out, hung left over 1f out, soon no impression |
9/1 |
|
5th 10 (9) |
6th Dec 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Comparatively exposed, being a nine-race maiden, but is in good form having been placed at this course (close second over 7f) and Wolverhampton (third over 6f) the last twice; possibilities if finding a bit extra in first-time headgear. |

16th Sep 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Well beaten in all five starts, the last two in nurseries; blinkers go on but can only watch. |

4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Modest form to date, although showed a little more promise when 8l fifth in an Epsom nursery last time (7f, good); not sure to be suited by this step up to 1m; stable in fine form. |
20/1 |
|
5th 7 (5) |
18th Aug 2023 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
8st 2lb |
Huge prices and not beaten many home in his three runs in novice/maiden company; this is more suitable but still not easily recommended. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Four-time AW winner but 0-9 on turf; ran her best race on grass when second at Windsor 19 days ago (6f, good to firm) but there were no excuses and this is a higher grade. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Four AW wins to her name but she is yet to show comparable form on turf, including when a beaten favourite at Nottingham 11 days ago; may come good on the grass at some point. |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has done all her winning over 6f on Lingfield AW, including on reappearance when getting up in the final strides; no certainty to follow up, being 0-7 on turf and 10lb higher than last attempt in this sphere. |
11/4 |
