Two wins last year, the latter in runaway fashion over 1m4f here in November (6lb higher today); shot up the weights and found it tough since but he is creeping back down again; unraced on Flat beyond 1m4f. |

29th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Promise amidst evident inexperience on his AW debut last October; better effort when third of 15 at Yarmouth two weeks ago (1m2f, soft) when he was sent off at a much bigger price than his reopposing stablemate Natzor; his proven ability on slow ground will be an asset; capable of better. |

9st 2lb |
Gelded prior to readily making all in novice event at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) in June and improved again when second of 13 on handicap debut at York (1m2f, good to soft), again front running; in the right hands to keep up the momentum. |

Gelded prior to making all for ready success in Lingfield novice event (1m2f, good to firm) last month, opening his account at the fourth attempt; looks the type to improve further and do well in handicaps; respected. |

Just modest form in two 7f maidens on AW, the latest just ten days ago; stamina not assured and handicaps will provide easier pickings. |

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 |

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) |

33-1, slowly away and never in contention in a 7f novice at Thirsk last summer; bred to stay this far but others have more obvious claims. |
