21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
8st 13lb |
Ended 2024 with 6f Newcastle nursery success in December but well below par in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Wetherby this summer; he's not easy to make a case for. |

Sprung a 125-1 surprise at Newcastle in December (6f) and ran with credit at Southwell one week later; low-key return to turf at Redcar six weeks ago; still early days but not a solid option. |

0-22 but he has been banging at the door in recent months, most recently a close second over C&D nine days ago; cheekpieces were absent there but they return tonight; should go well again. |

Record stands at 0-21 but he has been banging at the door on AW and turf since April; well drawn for one that races prominently and he should be in the thick of it once again. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In very good form on the AW through the winter (scored twice at Newcastle) but he's yet to show any worthwhile form on turf and came in last of ten in 5f Carlisle handicap last time; others appeal much more. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Recent form has been up and down, but she has managed to win three times since June including twice on good ground here (6f/7f); has won on good to soft, but soft ground would raise a question; not sure what to expect in any case. |

Both her wins have come at Newcastle (6f and 7f); she has finished second in 7f classified events on her last three starts but she will need to raise her game to take this; the return to Newcastle and switch to blinkers could spark extra though. |

Nine-race maiden who has shown ability, as when third of nine here (6f) last month but she didn't back it up over the same trip 12 days later; tries this far for first time and makes limited appeal despite another 2lb drop. |

A fair and reliable 5f AW winner for David O'Meara in 2025; comes here on the back of a solid third of 11 for her new stable in 5f Thirsk handicap 13 days ago so can't be ruled out. |

Just one win from his 13 starts and inconsistent; however, that victory came over 6f at Doncaster last August and he returned to form with a very close third at Windsor (5f, good to firm) recently; might not be far away. |
