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. |

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 |
9st 0lb |
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. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has had a couple of close calls at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this winter but he's now 1-26 on the Flat and his only hurdle run was at Kempton (well-held sixth) in December 2022; probably best watched back in this sphere. |

Only 1-26 but he's consistent and gone down narrowly over 1m6f at Wolverhampton the last twice; effective here and at this trip; chance. |

Six wins (all handicaps) from 32 runs; not disgraced after losing ground at the start when fourth of six at Nottingham four weeks ago; faces a significantly stiffer assignment on her first attempt at a Group race. |

3-10 at Nottingham, including the first of last year's three wins; effective at 1m6f/2m and ran well on recent return, so shortlisted. |

Enjoyed a good 2025 when a three-time winner (from 1m6f to 2m) but she came in last in 1m6f Nottingham handicap on her final run in October; has gone well off a break, though. |

Versaatile 10yo with 15 wins on his CV; not firing on all cylinders this season, the last twice over fences, but has dropped to a dangerous hurdle mark and will appreciate this ease in grade. |

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. |

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. |

Six-time winner at up to 2m in Britain but yet to hit any sort of form for current yard; career-low mark and tongue-tie tried so don't rule out. |

Donegal yard likes to pick up horses with back-form, often from Britain, and try to rejuvenate them; six-time winner at up to 2m but hasn't been finishing out his races in Ireland and been off a while. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |

Six-time winner for Charlie Johnston and best form over this trip; poor on first two runs for this yard at big prices; better than bare result when beaten over 5l at Gowran last May; yard's first runner of the year won on Tuesday; no surprise were he to go well after a break with leading claimer aboard. |

Low-mileage son of Cracksman who landed 1m6f handicap here in December before doing really well to complete his hat-trick at Wolverhampton (2m) the following month when carried very wide on the home turn; big player after a break. |
