16th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice over a mile on soft ground at Haydock for David O'Meara; placed on one of his five starts over hurdles for present yard but well beaten at Chester on latest Flat start; hard to fancy. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Fairly useful on the Flat for David O'Meara in 2024 (two wins) but last season's hurdling form for Donald McCain was underwhelming; ran better than eventual 13l defeat suggests when third of five on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) in April but has been well beaten on the Flat since; improvement required. |

13th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; below par twice on turf since a respectable third on AW at Southwell (1m6f) in July but is well handicapped again. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Prolific last year, whereas his only win this season was in March; ran respectably penultimate start (AW) but not well enough in his other recent races and his record for amateur rider is discouraging; his three turf wins have all been on soft or good to soft. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Has won once on the Flat in Poland and four times at Catterick (1m4f), but the best she has been able to muster in seven runs over hurdles is when third of nine finishers at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) in November; interesting that Sean Bowen rides for the first time. |

11th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Three course wins over 1m4f last year and she kept on for a good third over 1m6f here last time, providing optimism that this trip will be within range; there's every chance she'll be in the mix. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fine track record although her four wins have all come at 1m4f; both goes over C&D looked to just stretch her last year but she did plug on when fourth here (1m4f) a fortnight ago and can never be ruled out at this place. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair Flat racer; yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but was given a lot to do before finishing well for third over C&D (good) on handicap debut three weeks ago, and his recent Flat run was perfectly respectable. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 5 (2) |
21st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Scored at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in March and comes here on the back of a good hurdling third at Market Rasen 13 days ago; this C&D winner must enter calculations. |
6/1 |

3rd 1 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Tapeta winner in March (1m4f), and fair effort against a pace bias back on turf latest; no chances taken with initial hurdles mark (peak RPR 78 to date), but yet to encounter a sound surface in this discipline. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
A dual 1m2f scorer in 2025; back to form when third of nine in 1m Pontefract handicap ten days ago so ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 (5) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Six turf wins include one here (1m2f, good to firm) in August; had wind surgery before a fair comeback at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and built on that when fifth of 14 at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; drop back in trip no reason to rule him out and he's respected. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
In good form with a pair of 1m2f fast-ground wins last summer; ought to be sharper for Doncaster reappearance 13 days ago and on a workable mark if back close to his best. |

16-race maiden under rules; still early days for current trainer and first-time visor now applied on her first stab at a classified; interesting if there is a market move. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Course winner in 2022 who last won at Pontefract (also 1m2f, good to firm) in June 2024; 50-1 when beaten 10l on his comeback in a Wolverhampton classified (1m4f, AW) in January; others look safer. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up in a Catterick handicap (1m4f, good to soft) in July but he finished down the field in his final three runs during the summer; has won when fresh in the past but his last success was 19 months ago and this veteran is 1-14 on AW. |
25/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
29th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on his wins at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) and Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) last year; second of seven from 5lb out of the weights at Catterick (1m4f, good to soft) last month, but modest otherwise this year; not quite sure what to expect. |
