1st 4 (8) |
16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Did well on AW last winter and even better form when the cheekpieces replaced a visor at Goodwood (1m4f, good) four weeks ago, leading over 1f out to score with rather more authority than the half-length winning margin suggests; used to act on good to firm; up 3lb but firmly in the picture. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Two 1m4f AW wins for Denis Quinn in the winter and a respectable fifth at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in April on sole starts for John Ryan; left the impression he's still in form at Thirsk 19 days ago on his first start for this yard and cheekpieces now go on. |

6th 10 (3) |
31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two 1m4f AW wins last winter for Denis Quinn and respectable fifth of 15 at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) last month on sole run for John Ryan; however, it's a long time since he ran well on turf and has something to prove back on grass; stable debut. |

Two wins from 24 starts; heavy defeats in four of seven races this term but also now placed in three of his last four; more to prove on soft or heavy. |

12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner). |
10/1 |
|
6th 5 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |
10/1 |

13th 10 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Winless in three years and has regressed for this yard; consisent run came to an end when below-par at Kempton a few weeks ago but he won't mind the return to turf off a career-low mark. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (6) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Multiple winner at up to 1m6f, including here but hasn't won for almost three years; even so, has been placed on five successive occasions and is capable of going close from this mark now back on this surface. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Losing run stretches back to July 2023 but he ended 2025 in good form and his reappearance at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 18 days ago was a positive one; stepping back up in distance is a positive but he could do with the ground drying out. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back-to-back hurdle wins in May (2m-extended 2m2f) on good or quicker ground, but was most disappointing when a remote third of three on handicap debut at Stratford last month; that effort was too bad to be true and he's not ruled out if bouncing back. |
3/1 |

3rd 1 |
16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Useful on the Flat in 2024 and a dual hurdle winner last month, latterly here (2m2f, good to firm); ought to make a bold bid from the front on this handicap hurdle debut. |
15/8 |
|
1st 1 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced 5yo who scored twice on Flat over 1m2f in 2024 for Harry Charlton; returned from a 359-day break to open his account over hurdles in a weak Hereford maiden (2m, good) 25 days ago; has clearly had issues but possesses plenty of talent and should go close. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Four Flat wins in France where he also pulled up only previous hurdle start; respectable Flat form for David O'Meara but has been below his best in that scene for current yard (two runs). |
6/1 |
|
1 (2) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four wins in France, two on the AW; failed to win in seven runs for David O'Meara, best effort when runner-up at Hamilton in June (1m5f, good); tailed off at Chepstow this month on stable debut (1m4f, good to soft; 22-1); cheekpieces are now tried; best watched. |
7/1 |
|
12th 8 (4) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Four French wins (10.5f-1m4f) but failed to win in seven attempts for David O'Meara, the latest when fourth of five at Hamilton three weeks ago; has joined another stable which does really well with new recruits but others arrives with more pressing claims. |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Both wins have been at Wolverhampton and best of his more recent form has been on the dirt at Meydan (runner-up over 1m3f there in December when visored); off 249 days before latest start; cheekpieces back on here; chance. |
5/1 |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Godolphin runner who is well treated on the pick of his Tapeta/dirt form; lacks recent match practice and has something to prove back on turf but market confidence should be heeded. |
9/1 |
