12th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
A break may have helped and he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Newcastle (2m, AW) last October; however, he was down the field there in December on his first two runs for this yard; something to prove on return. |

20th Dec 2024 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Record of 32123 over 2m at Newcastle in his final five runs for D O'Meara; struggled on recent stable debut but the drop back to 1m4f was against him and he now takes a big step back up in trip; has claims if he can recapture his spark and he's not ruled out; visor the headgear of choice today. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Ex-German; 1-10 for this yard, the win at Haydock (1m6f) in August; well held when 25-1 in a 1m4f Racing League race on his only subsequent start, which is forgivable but one or two of these look better handicapped. |

28th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
French winner who kept on well to win at Haydock (1m6f) last time and is also effective on Tapeta; however, the drop back in trip seems a negative. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
French winner who went close at Newcastle (2m, AW) last October and is now 1lb lower; however, unable to reproduce that form since and was a 9l fifth of seven when back at Newcastle (2m) last Friday. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; now 6lb below his last winning mark but not easy to recommend after a heavy defeat over C&D one month ago. |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice last year, including over 12.5f here, but his losing run is beginning to mount up; cheekpieces left off last time are back on and he needs to show improvement. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
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. |
12/1 |
|
11th 7 (16) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 11lb |
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. |
18/1 |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 0lb |
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. |

18th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Well held on soft turf a fortnight ago but seems to save his best for AW, including runner-up at Wolverhampton (1m6f) and Lingfield (2m) in the spring; penultimate fourth of 13 back at Lingfield was also respectable and he's well treated on peak form. |
11/2 |

8th 1 (11) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Two seconds on AW and back-to-form fourth in that sphere on latest start; however, towards the rear on good ground on his only two turf starts, latterly when tailed off in a 1m6f handicap in June; a hood (absent this year) returns. |
8/1 |
|
4th 5 (13) |
21st Aug 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up off 3lb higher over C&D in May but his form has nosedived with heavy defeats in both subsequent runs; record is now 0-12 and others are more convincing; visor is removed and cheekpieces return. |
16/1 |
