18th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three wins for Ed Dunlop; sold for 5,000gns last October; denied a run on several occasions on her stable debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) 17 days ago; will be suited by the step back up in trip and not out of this. |

6th 5 (4) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Patchy during a limited campaign last year for Ed Dunlop; wins as a 3yo came on soft turf and this trip looks a bare minimum for her new yard on comeback. |

3rd 6 (7) |
6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins (1m4f/11.6f) on slow ground last year and latest was off 1lb lower; returned to form when runner-up at Ripon (1m4f, good to soft) in May but she's hard to predict and failed to beat a rival at Carlisle in June; comes with risks attached after a break and this is competitive. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 4lb |
Hard to fancy on recent efforts but placed over 1m2f on turf off 9lb higher last summer and the Liam Bailey stable has hit a purple patch in recent days; no surprise were he to go well under Hollie Doyle. |
12/1 |

7th 11 (6) |
13th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
May benefit from this step back up in distance with classified/seasonal debut (1m) under his belt but is difficult to support with confidence, being an inconsistent maiden. |

8th 10 (3) |
24th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed a glimmer of promise here (1m2f) in September but well beaten here (1m4f) nine days later and he's now 0-16; drops back in trip following a break; others make greater appeal. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
His only appearance at Chester was a successful one in eight-runner handicap last August (2m, good to firm) off 3lb lower than today, in a manner that was encouraging for this test; absent since a lesser show in September but scored in 2024 after a 113-day layoff and needs a close look. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Game winner of a 2m fast-ground Chester handicap before finishing fourth of five runners back over hurdles; only 3lb higher than for that recent win and goes on any ground. |
6/1 |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Had four runs over hurdles, winning in maiden/novice company (good to soft; soft) and close up in one of his two handicaps; returns to this scene after taking a Class 4 Flat handicap over 2m at Chester ten days ago; major player. |

1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
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. |
16/1 |

10th 8 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
While not the force of old, his close fourth on the Flat this month showed that he's still capable of fair form in that sphere; went the wrong way in his four-race hurdle career last February-May but needs a second look. |
14/1 |
|
4th 6 (2) |
5th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Both wins for David O'Meara came over C&D in 2024, but has lost his way for this yard including three poor efforts back here. |

3rd Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
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. |

3rd 7 (5) |
18th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
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. |
8/1 |

9th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |

Campaigned on AW since last September, winning twice; placed in competitive field on latest outing; successful at this course (good to firm) on the second of two turf attempts; interesting back here. |

The only one of these with track experience having been placed in all three visits last winter; 5lb lower than when winning at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) in February, but that her only success in 18 starts and she takes on a couple of progressive 3yos here. |

9st 3lb |
Won a classified event at Lingfield (1m2f, AW; first-time visor) in January; held in three starts since, most recently in a classified 15 days ago; others make more appeal. |

5th 9 (3) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Two of these behind when springing a surprise over C&D in January (first-time visor, switched from cheekpieces); not as good since and is some way down the pecking order. |
12/1 |

6th 9 (5) |
9th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |

Sprung 16-1 surprise in a 1m2f classified event at Lingfield in January; last of eight back in handicap at Chelmsford 11 days ago; others safer. |
