21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not an instant success for new stable this season but won easily by 4l off much-reduced mark at Carlisle (5.8f, good) ten days ago and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under 5lb penalty here; commands respect. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time visor when fifth of 19 at York (6f, good to firm) last month but failed to build on that performance when favourite at Nottingham three weeks ago and is now 0-7 for David O'Meara. |
9/1 |

21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Unplaced in six runs for David O'Meara, but he's tumbling down the weights and he showed more at York (6f, good to firm; visored first time) ten days ago; this is a drop in class and something bigger is brewing. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Has progressed really well this season and notched a third success over 6f here in June; posted a good fifth of ten in 6f handicap at Newmarket (form franked) last month so must enter calculations. |
4/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Won two in a row in May (7f, good to firm) and he returned to winning ways when back down in trip at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; this progressive 4yo could take a 4lb rise in his stride. |
7/2 |

1st 3 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive over 7f this term until latest start when admittedly not disgraced; won well at Doncaster to initiate a May double and he looks a possible danger if coping with the return to 6f. |

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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Beat 16 rivals when scoring from off the pace at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) in April; three placed efforts since but he flopped when favourite at Musselburgh last time and that took his record to 1-16; comes with risks attached back up in trip. |
6/1 |

5th 3 (5) |
7th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Mainly in good form since winning over C&D in April (good to soft), last week finishing a neck second here (good, hood on for second time; Jer Batt 0.5l back in third); chance. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 (2) |
31st Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Often promised better as a 3yo; ran well over C&D on his reappearance in April and confirmed that promise by seeing off 16 rivals here eight days later; his progress has stalled more recently but it wouldn't be a great surprise to see him return to form back at Musselburgh. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Repelled Happy Banner at Chepstow (1m, good to firm); had a wide trip when fourth off this 3lb higher mark at Kempton; hard to rule out; all turf runs on good or faster. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (10) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Runner-up in two AW novice events in 2024 and 2025, and got off the mark at the seventh attempt when landing a handicap at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in June; he's lightly raced and unexposed over this trip, so could have more to offer. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Promise in AW novices and on handicap debut when third at Doncaster (7f, good) last June; has since had wind surgery and should be sharper following his return from ten-month layoff when sixth of seven at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); another to consider. |

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. |
