27th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood in June and followed up in the Ladies' Derby over C&D (good to firm); however, he seems to have gone off the boil on his three runs since; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
New cheekpieces when he went back-to-back over 1m4f at Goodwood and Epsom but his form has dipped; effect of the headgear might be wearing thin. |

31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
2-4 for new stable, winning at Goodwood (1m4f, good; cheekpieces first time) before getting the better Epictetus over C&D last month; came unstuck at York in his hat-trick bid and this looks a competitive race in which to get back on track. |

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. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Went close over this sort of trip on AW in March but, after a successful stable debut at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) in June, he raced too freely (a regular trait) when well beaten by Gooloogong back there three weeks ago; hood goes on for the first time for this yard, which looks a smart move. |
7/1 |

4th 4 (7) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again. |
10/1 |

3rd 1 (5) |
24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Career win number 11 when coming clear at Goodwood (1m6f, soft) on his debut for Tony Carroll; effective on faster ground and a 6lb rise might not stop him if he's turned a corner. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Third over 1m6f at Redcar on penultimate start but the bottom line is that he has not won since July 2023; what might offer hope is that, in a 56-race career, this is the first time he's had his tongue tied. |
10/1 |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |

Ran a bit better from reduced mark when third over 1m6f at Redcar 47 days ago but it's now over three years since he last tasted success. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won maiden/novice hurdles in May, both at around 2m on good ground; left poor run on handicap debut behind when runner-up at Uttoxeter last time (2m, good); one with a chance. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
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. |

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. |

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 |
