16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Went close over C&D (good) last September on final run for Tom Clover and now 3lb lower; David O'Meara should find the key to him at some point but he's been below his best on his first three runs for the yard. |
5/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Not at his best in two runs for David O'Meara but on good to soft ground; possible this return to a faster surface will help and he's undoubtedly well handicapped if it does; waters muddied slightly by the stable also having Veblen Good in the race. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Ended 2025 with a good second at Newmarket (6f, good), after which he changed hands for 50,000gns; only eighth (of 19) on his stable debut at Doncaster 18 days ago but he wasn't well drawn as things panned out and he ran as though the run would bring him on; remains a sprinter of interest. |

28th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Progressive 4yo who made the breakthrough when forging clear at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) and he followed up under a penalty at Leicester 19 days ago; up another 4lb but he's on a roll and is still relatively lightly raced; big player. |
15/8 |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Confirmed earlier promise when readily getting off the mark in 7f Doncaster handicap a week ago; hiked up 9lb but remains low mileage and merits serious consideration for his in-form stable. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 (9) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Low-mileage 4yo who shaped well on his return from eight months off when third of 11 in 7f AW Lingfield handicap 18 days ago; holds very good claims off an unchanged mark for yard among the winners. |

20th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who has been running well in UAE this year, going close in big-field handicap in February (1m, good) then third of ten last month (1m, dirt); major player if continuing the good work back in Britain. |
3/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Comfortable winner of a Kempton novice (7f, Polytrack) last December, but had a nightmare passage on handicap/turf debut at York (7f, good to firm) in May; returns from 166 days off having been gelded; worth a second look. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Competitive over 5f at Musselburgh this spring and wasn't at his best at Hamilton two weeks ago (6f); capable of bouncing back. |

13th 3 (14) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Three solid efforts over 5f at Musselburgh this spring; no worries about the return to 6f in another big field and he may yet be capable of better; high on the shortlist. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who built on his reappearance second over C&D (soft) to win a 17-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago; also effective on good/good to firm; up 7lb for last time but did it nicely and he could be just the type of Jim Goldie sprinter to keep on improving. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promise in AW novices and again when third of ten at Doncaster on her handicap debut last June (7f, good); disappointed at Yarmouth the following month and absent since; has undergone wind surgery during his layoff; drops in class, up in trip and tongue tied for his return; still has potential. |

16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Improved with each of three 6f races and it looked more a case of just needing the run than lack of stamina when a close third of ten on handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good) in June; respected off the same mark. |
11/4 |

3rd 10 (10) |
6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Runner-up in two 6f Southwell (AW) novice races during the winter, latterly behind a subsequent Listed winner; makes handicap debut after a five-month break but could have untapped potential over 7f. |

Half-sister to four winners, notably Mobsta (6f including 2yo/Group 2; RPR 111); 66-1 for novice at Southwell (6f, AW) 15 days ago, getting upset in the stalls and always towards rear after a slow start. |

Half-sister to four winners, notably Mobsta (6f including 2yo/Group 2; RPR 111); in-form stable has a useful 2yo to compare her to in Super Sprint winner Caburn, so a market move would be interesting. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
She isn't living up to her illustrious pedigree and headgear (visor then cheekpieces) hasn't really helped on her last two starts; likely vulnerable, even at this level; visor worn on her penultimate start returns today. |
7/1 |
|
14 (2) |
12th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Placed for first time when upped to 7f at Yarmouth (good) in June, her sixth start; not seen to same effect when dropped back to 6f and tried in a visor there later that month; now in cheekpieces for this return to 7f. |
9/1 |
|
5th 8 (9) |
27th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Had excuses in her first two runs back before a decent effort upped to 7f here last time; perhaps the drop to 0-50 company with a visor added will do the trick and she's on the shortlist. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
There was a hiccup on penultimate start (possibly pressed too strong a pace) but she's otherwise been steadily progressive in handicaps; came from off the pace for a narrow win when upped to 1m4f at Brighton latest; may have more in the tank but this is a much stronger race and all her success has been on AW or good to firm. |
18/1 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Had a break since a beaten favourite at Nottingham 79 days ago when she possibly pressed too strong a pace; beat all bar a Haggas favourite (since run well in a Group 3) over 1m2f here the time before; unraced past 1m2f but she's by Camelot. |
