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. |

Both wins for David O'Meara came over C&D in 2024, but has lost his way for this yard including three poor efforts back here. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Dipped into Class 5 company at Newcastle in March and won comfortably (extended 1m4f); two disappointing runs have followed and he now has a point to prove; has run well in two course visits, at least. |

Won for blinkers first being fitted and did so again for them going back on over C&D two months ago; lacked consistency in recent times and there's not much wiggle room off this mark but he's capable if on a going day. |

19th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

His last five wins have come over C&D, the latest in November; recent efforts no more than respectable, though, and remains 4lb above that last successful mark. |

7th 1 (3) |
28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
His last five wins have come at Newcastle, but he hasn't been at his best there in last three starts; went close off this mark in November but he needs to get back near that level; all AW wins have been at 1m2f but he has won over this trip on turf. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (8) |
14th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Bagged a fifth C&D victory in November and in good nick subsequently, not seen to ideal effect when fourth of 11 back over C&D 25 days ago; a likely player eased 1lb. |

On workable mark if judged on pick of form from first half of last year but returned from break with disappointing run in the autumn and has been absent for another 285 days since. |

5th Nov 2024 Soft 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Has won on good to soft; losing turf run goes back more than a year but she ran up to her recent best when second of 14 at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in June; needs to be on song to win off this mark back from break. |

Has a patchy overall profile but out of sorts under both codes in recent times; needs this switch to fences to turn things around. |

14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Fit from the Flat, he ran a respectable third at Fakenham (2m, good) last month without suggesting a win is imminent; his two wins have been at Worcester and best to wait until he reappears there. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Outstayed in 2m novice hurdle three weeks ago; has form at up to 1m3f on the Flat; still seeking first win for current yard but went close at Bath in April; new trip presents a question mark. |
14/1 |

4th 1 |
8th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Had 1-14 strike-rate on the Flat but showed some fairly useful form at up to 1m3f; his tendency to race too freely is a worry on this hurdling debut but he's a half-brother to smart hurdler Golden Ace; interesting to see how he fares. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Blinkered when ending a lengthy losing sequence in good style at Yarmouth nine days ago, drawing clear last 1f; up 6lb but another bold showing is on the cards with headgear retained and good amateur Henry Callan up. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 (7) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
On a losing run and can get it wrong at the start; well handicapped on 2025 best, however, and he stayed on for fourth at Newcastle 19 days ago; conditions shouldn't be an issue and he commands respect with new blinkers now replacing cheekpieces. |
8/1 |
|
4th 12 (9) |
1st May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |

Not as good now and prone to the occasional off-day; still to win over C&D but his record suggests he needs considering off this mark, especially given his two previous runs in cheekpieces both resulted in near-misses. |

10st 1lb |
Both wins in 2023, at 1m1f and about 1m2f, but this C&D seemed to just catch her out in May; two good efforts at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) and Pontefract (1m, good) of late but she may need an easier test than this now and would have preferred some rain. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |

Record of 0-5 for new stable but shapes as if this belated drop back to 1m is worth exploring; very well handicapped on best form. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
His last four wins have been over C&D, albeit spread over nearly three years; latest came by a nose in July and he was runner-up at Haydock on penultimate outing, before losing his chance at the start at Chester latest; well capable of being on the premises, including on soft. |
