27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won his first five handicaps (including on Tapeta, unproven on Polytrack) but the last of those was in July 2024; generally disappointing since and, after 307 days off, this is a new trip on first run since changing hands and leaving Harry Charlton. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Made it 5-5 in handicaps (including C&D, and on soft and fast ground) when winning at Newcastle last July and he was a good second on AW last October; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game on either run this year. |
11/1 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won his first five handicaps at about 1m4f on varying surfaces but his mark took a hit and he didn't run much of a race on his comeback at Thirsk, having been gelded; reservations on the back of that. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Chance on November's Doncaster hurdles second, less so on all which has followed; unexposed in this sphere, with one start over fences compared to the other trio's 41 combined, but none too convincing on that belated chase debut at Wetherby latest (1m7f, good), jumping left and weakening. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/Flat/hurdles winner; on a handy mark but his form has dipped in 2026, so this switch to fences needs to have a reviving effect; latecomer to this game, being a 10yo. |
13/2 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Unable to beat a rival on AW on last two starts but could be a different proposition now back hurdling and back here, as two visits to Doncaster (both C&D) have yielded an easy novice win (good) and a good second in a handicap (soft; in November); very much of interest given record at the track. |

10st 1lb |
Three wins last year included one on stable debut here (1m4f) in November; ran well when third of 14 over the same trip back here in June and and when filling the same position at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) 16 days ago, but this may not be far enough for her now. |

18th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |

Triple winner at up to 12.5f, including on Tapeta; 2lb higher than her last win, her latest effort suggests she'll need a further drop before winning again. |

His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
A fair 1m4f Flat scorer who has made a bright start over hurdles, going 2-3 in 2m Fakenham novice when last seen out in October; goes handicapping after an absence now and can't be ruled out. |
7/4 |
|
1st 1 |
17th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
All-the-way Market Rasen hurdling debut winner in August, and 2l ahead of Currumbin when fifth at Warwick latest (2m, good); that form sets the standard here, and the second and fourth each won (over fences) next time; obvious player if settling better; gains tongue-tie. |
5/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Capable on the Flat and won from the front on hurdling debut at Market Rasen (2m, good); the runner-up ran well in defeat in a Plumpton handicap on Sunday; should be very competitive even with the penalty. |

9st 5lb |
Sole win was in a novice at Newcastle (1m, AW) last October but he was only just caught in a Hamilton handicap (1m4f, good to soft) last Monday; on same mark here and he's an interesting contender on this drop back in trip. |
9/2 |

2nd 6 (4) |
23rd Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-12 since winning last October on his third start and he's inconsistent; however, he returned to form with a close fifth of 13 at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) recently and this stiffer track may well be a positive; chance. |

Outstayed in 2m novice hurdle three weeks ago; has form at up to 1m3f on the Flat; still seeking first win for current yard but went close at Bath in April; new trip presents a question mark. |

8th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Had 1-14 strike-rate on the Flat but showed some fairly useful form at up to 1m3f; his tendency to race too freely is a worry on this hurdling debut but he's a half-brother to smart hurdler Golden Ace; interesting to see how he fares. |

Five AW wins elsewhere, two in the spring, but has C&D form; holding her form and this is a lower grade than at Newcastle 18 days ago but she probably needs a bit extra off her current mark. |

Wins for David O'Meara both came over C&D, including a division of this race two years ago; not beaten far at 100-1 here two months ago but looked flattered in a messy affair and he's generally struggled for this yard. |

All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider. |

2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip. |
