2nd 3 (4) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Has done himself proud since Doncaster win in June, finishing close up over 5f at the big meeting here and again in the Stewards' Cup (6f) four days later; another smart effort when third of 21 at York next time but well held on good to soft there since and deteriorating ground would be a worry. |
5/1 |

16th 12 (14) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Back in top form for David O'Meara this summer, running well twice at Glorious Goodwood and again when third of 21 here (5.4f, good) on Wednesday; tanked through Wednesday's race but didn't see it out quite so well as the front two; the worry today is that further rain has fallen and he is ideally suited by good to firm. |
10/1 |

3rd 9 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
He has performed with credit in all three York runs; two fine runs at Glorious Goodwood, notably in the Stewards' Cup in which he would have gone very close to winning granted a clear run at a crucial stage; races off the same mark and has a big run in him. |

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. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 177y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Front-runner who completed a hat-trick when seeing off 12 rivals at Thirsk (1m, good) four weeks ago; the runner-up franked the form with a good second at Epsom last week, while reopposing third Frankie's Dream has also run well since; the draw hasn't been kind given his run style but it's likely his mark is still workable. |
7/1 |
|
1st 9 (14) |
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. |

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. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
C&D record of 13132141 includes wins in this race last year and most recent AW attempt, latter off current mark in March; ran poorly in last two turf starts but commands respect back in this scenario. |
5/1 |
|
8th 9 (7) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
4-13 on AW but 0-11 on turf; had soft ground as an excuse last time, though, and has each-way claims at least if judged on her second at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in May. |
