22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground. |
7/2 |

14th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Prevailed by a neck at Pontefract (1m, soft) last week, making it three wins from his last four starts and recording first success away from Hamilton; only 3lb higher even with another penalty; respected in current form. |

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. |

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. |

Latest of multiple wins came at 7f last August; below par lately, including behind The Gay Blade over C&D 12 days ago, but won in cheekpieces earlier in career and they're refitted for the first time since 2022. |

Very opposable on the balance of his chase form, especially from 7lb out of the weights. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple Flat winner and twice successful over hurdles but has very shaky record over fences in recent years; pulled up at Cartmel one month ago and now 0-13 in this sphere; 2lb wrong today; too risky. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Multiple Flat winner and twice successful over hurdles; 0-12 over fences and fell at his final attempt; others appeal more from 2lb out of the weights. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in 7f classified events last month; runner-up in his last two completed starts; unseated rider early at Chester on Friday; each-way shout but hardly an unknown quantity. |
8/1 |

10 (7) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 3 (8) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer. |

9th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
8yo who is 0-9 this year but he's run some good races, most recently third at Hamilton (1m, soft) off 2lb higher, and he won this 12 months ago (good); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |
7/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Nine-time winner (five times here) who won't mind what the weather does; yet to hit the target this season, though, and both runs this month have been disappointing; others have less to prove. |
14/1 |

6th 5 (5) |
21st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up twice this summer but form dipped last time; the 8yo is a five-time course winner and could go well returned to Hamilton. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Veteran (13-102); has won just once since late 2024, when edging out Pallas Lord over C&D (15-2) on New Year's Day; kept on after a slow start, fifth of seven, at Ayr (7f; 33-1) four weeks ago. |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Getting on for three years since his last turf success and this veteran hasn't been at his best at Newcastle of late; opposable back at 7f and returned to the grass. |
