25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Second in a division of this last year (soft) and three wins this term; ran okay when fifth of 13 at Beverley last time and not ruled out. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 96y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
A dual C&D scorer in the summer; didn't fire in 1m Haydock handicap 17 days ago but no surprise if he bounces back here. |

6th Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 37y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins on turf (good/soft) since May and he may well have had a fourth here last month but for meeting trouble; last week's fourth of 13 in a Racing League event at Southwell (1m) shows he's still in form; considered. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 185y |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner for Charlie Johnston; fair effort on his stable debut in a maiden hurdle here in May; booking of Billy Lee suggests better is expected today. |
7/1 |
|

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; won twice on the Flat for Charlie Johnston on good ground; rated 83 in that sphere; signed off British career with a tailed off finish at Hamilton in September; makes hurdling/stable debut now in a first-time tongue tie. |

29th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 35y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Acts on good to soft but both wins (at 1m3f and about 1m) on good; ran up to his best when a close second of seven at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in August but needs to pull out more against in-form rivals. |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice over a mile on soft ground at Haydock for David O'Meara; placed on one of his five starts over hurdles for present yard but well beaten at Chester on latest Flat start; hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat for David O'Meara in 2024 (two wins) but last season's hurdling form for Donald McCain was underwhelming; ran better than eventual 13l defeat suggests when third of five on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April but has been well beaten on the Flat since; improvement required. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Placed on first two starts of the season (6f, good) and another big performance when 3l fourth of 20 at York (6f, good) last time, which was his third quick run in succession in May; can go well for bang-in-form yard. |
5/1 |
|
4th 10 (10) |
23rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Second to Kats Bob over C&D (good to firm) last year off 3lb higher; has resumed in good form this spring, following Chester near miss with a close second of 13 to reopposing Mae Amor at Hamilton (6f, good) last Sunday; obvious chance off the same mark; second-time blinkers replace regular cheekpieces. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Stays 1m and two of his three wins came over 7f but a good test over this trip is fine; at his best last year around this time and resumed with a solid effort as favourite at Chester nine days ago (behind The Good Biscuit); will rightly be popular. |

18th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 1f 209y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Made successful debut for this yard in a Hamilton handicap (1m, good) and even better the last twice, making the frame over C&D (good) and at Carlisle (1m1f, soft); mark hasn't really gone anywhere for those last two runs and cheekpieces are now added with Brandon Wilkie booked; solid claims. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
On a losing run and he comes here on the back of a below-par sixth in 1m4f Thirsk handicap eight days ago; he needs to get back on track. |
8/1 |
|
6th 5 (8) |
15th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Not the most prolific of winners (2-27); winner over 1m2f at Redcar in May (1m2f, good to firm; 18-1); hasn't run as well since and was well beaten on the AW on Thursday (1m2f); can pull hard and return to 1m4f not sure to suit. |
25/1 |
|
6th 5 (4) |
11th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won at Kempton (1m, AW) early last year and is now 2lb lower than when winning at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May; mostly struggled since and he was beaten 3l when fifth of nine in first-time blinkers over this C&D 13 days ago. |
