28th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Successful three times in May/June but his progress has seemingly come to an end; admittedly may benefit from this drop back in grade after a couple of Class 3 defeats. |

6th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
In good form on turf until folding tamely and well held last time; consistent in defeat on AW (four attempts) but he's 9lb higher than last appearance in this sphere. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Progressive 4yo who has won three times this season (1m2f-1m4f, good to firm/good) and again ran well when third of five at Newbury (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual 1m2f winner but below his best in four Flat runs this year; beaten about 12l on previous run over hurdles last November; he's not crying out to be backed. |
9/2 |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 1m2f winner who was below par over 1m in the latest start of a light 2026 campaign; gained his handicap success off 4lb higher; attractively treated back up in distance. |
14/1 |

14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Both wins have been over 1m2f and latest was at this course last August; now 2lb lower but he's been well held in both runs this season and is untried at this trip; something to prove in another switch of headgear. |

17th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Disappointed when last in action and remains on a losing streak but competes off new career-low mark here and will be suited by the trip-and-surface combination; hooded for first time; can't be ruled out. |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |

Hasn't won for a while but his turn will come and a tactical race didn't suit when third to Spanish Hustle here recently. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
No win since taking a Class 2 at Sandown (1m2f) in July 2023; kicked off 2025 with a pleasing AW effort at Newcastle (runner-up from 4lb higher) but unable to build positively on that since; latest 1m4f Ripon third (Haptics sixth) respectable but the wait for another win may go on. |

30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Front-runner; won at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May; second or third in small fields in all four runs since, with 2m1f failing to work out on latest but he was a good second over C&D (good to firm) the time before; player. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Made all at Ripon (1m4f, good) in May on stable debut and he's been a good second on two of his three starts since (1m4f, good/good to firm), including here; didn't convince with his stamina for 2m back in January 2025 but a staying trip is worth another go and he's a major player if seeing it out. |
5/4 |

2nd 2 (2) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who has done all his winning at Newcastle (AW) and Ripon, most recently in May on debut for new stable; has remained in form; should take well to Catterick, given his style of racing; possibilities. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Enjoyed a fine 2025 with seven wins at up to 2m; yet to score this season but arrives in good nick, fourth in 2m2f Musselburgh handicap two weeks ago; he's well in the mix off a 2lb lower mark with blinkers refitted. |
9/2 |

4th 1 (7) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
His strike-rate is better on AW than turf and this inconsistent 6yo was a tailed-off third at Southwell (2m, AW) in July last time; however, before that he was a close third of 20 in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW) and he's shown some good turf form this season; capable of a big run. |

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. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Flat winner who is 0-8 over hurdles but hasn't been running badly; more new headgear tried but can go well. |
14/1 |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Yet to score in this sphere but he arrives in good form, fourth of nine in 2m Perth handicap 13 days ago; he can make his presence felt again with blinkers added. |
9/2 |

25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Fairly useful at his best on the Flat; 0-6 over hurdles but was third off today's mark over C&D (good) in July and also ran well when filling same position at Kelso (2m2f, good) last week; one to consider. |
7/2 |
