11st 0lb |
Sole Flat win in 30 attempts came this September in a 1m4f soft-ground handicap at Thirsk; that was a Class 6, however, and he's unlikely to be good enough. |

29th Sep 2023 Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Belatedly off the mark with a wide-margin win at Thirsk (1m4f, soft) in the hands of William Pyle; ran a bit flat when only fourth at Hamilton after escaping a penalty and now he's 5lb higher; that Thirsk win might be dodgy form. |

Has gained both wins on turf, three years apart; his last success was over C&D last summer but he was well held in final three runs last year; 6lb out of the weights on his return and best watched in this competitive race. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won four times for David O'Meara last year (1m6f-2m) but has been out of form for new stable this season and is not sure to be ideally suited by today's drop back in trip; considered only if lively in the betting. |
10/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Yet to strike form after three runs for new stable this year but now 1lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) for David O'Meara just under a year ago; usually ridden patiently; revival possible. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

Four wins for David O'Meara last year (2m/1m6f), two on Tapeta, and she's on a competitive mark on her best form; the step back up in trip may help but she's not easy to fancy judged on this year's two runs. |
