10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win from 13 starts was in a four-runner novice at Ascot (7f, soft) in September 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in his last five runs and has something to prove after another break. |
14/1 |

9th 9 (5) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Some fair turf form for Brian Meehan, but despite plummeting in the weights has shown little in three AW starts for this yard, failing to beat a rival over 7f here in January; cheekpieces given a go, but some way down the stable's pecking order. |
16/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
12th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to fire for his new yard but he met some traffic issues when last of eight in 7f Southwell handicap 20 days ago; he was a fair 7f winner at his best for Brian Meehan so possibilities on his first go on Polytrack. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Useful 2yo form, including a 7f novice win on AW; three heavy defeats in handicaps this year have seen him drop down the handicap and he now tackles his first Class 5 handicap; a revival may be foretold by the betting. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (11) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Landed the odds in a Wolverhampton novice (7f, AW) last September but he's struggled in three subsequent runs, including two handicaps; record is now 1-7 and has plenty to prove back in trip. |
25/1 |
|
10th 5 (7) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Came good with 7f Tapeta novice win in September, his fourth start; well down the field when dropped back to 6f on that surface for seasonal/handicap debut in April, though, and arrives here with a point to prove. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won a 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday off this mark; another solid effort when a close sixth at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; more needed to come out on top here. |
20/1 |
|
6th 3 (16) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Two-time turf winner who scored at Lingfield (1m, AW) in April and is just 1lb higher here; however, he's finished unplaced on turf on his last three starts and needs to raise his game. |
16/1 |
|
7th 8 (9) |
30th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Narrow winner of a competitive 1m handicap at Lingfield on Good Friday; two midfield finishes this month and he will need a career best to come out on top in this field. |
12/1 |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Made all when easily beating four rivals at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and ran well to finish fourth of nine at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good), but appeared not to stay in the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to firm); 1-1 on the AW (Polytrack); dangerous if enjoying an uncontested lead. |
9/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Easily made all in small-field handicap at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) in June and not beaten far when fourth of nine at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good); with a leading trainer and further improvement can't be discounted now up in trip, but it's necessary and others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |
|
4 (6) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Usually a warm order and he's delivered twice; given a forcing ride up front at Salisbury (1m4f, good to firm) on latest start and drew well clear, albeit from only three opponents; up 7lb and more to prove in this stronger race, but he's only once (penultimate start) failed to show improved form. |
