30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last season ended with two disappointing runs and there was no return to form on his recent reappearance; however, he may have needed that latest outing and this two-time C&D winner is back down to last September's last winning mark; not written off. |

Made all in a first-time visor over C&D last September; ended 2025 quietly and although he is only 1lb higher than for his win, he returns from a break with a point to prove. |

4-21 when trained by David O'Meara, with all the wins gained over 5f on AW; absent since pulled up after early mishap in October and best watched on stable debut. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

Not entirely disgraced at Newcastle last week and probably remains in form; narrow success on penultimate outing took her C&D record to 121; solid claims back here. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Ended a long losing run in this race last year but he's 0-15 since and has been hard to predict; now 3lb lower than for that last success but he faded at Doncaster last time and he comes with risks attached. |
11/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Ended a losing run when the comfortable winner of a 5f handicap at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; he was returning from a short break when fourth of 13 at Pontefract 17 days ago and that effort can be upgraded as he was wider than ideal as the field turned for home; each-way shout. |
8/1 |

Hold-up sprinter who is on the same mark as when seeing off nine rivals at Nottingham last May (5f, good to firm); in and out afterwards but the return of blinkers should help now back from 138 days off. |

9th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Sole win came in a three-runner maiden at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; best effort this year came over C&D two weeks ago but he enjoyed a clear run while several of those in behind got in each other's way; more needed to win. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Has run some good races on Tapeta this year and only just failed at Southwell (5f) in April; however, he wasn't in much form on turf in 2025, including in this race, and looks unlikely to break his turf duck. |
8/1 |

2nd 9 (1) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |

Two of his three wins have been over C&D and he was second of eight here in a classified event in February; below his best in two starts since but he may be capable of bouncing back. |

12th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |

C&D winner who looked unlucky not to finish closer when having Stroxx and A Lady Forever behind here last weekend; not as good now and has a bit to find on these terms but does at least arrive in form. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Doubled his tally when landing a C&D handicap in December and followed up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) on his next start; respectable effort when stepped up to this grade there 32 days ago, but first-time the blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to bring out a bit more. |
6/1 |

4th 2 (1) |
19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Progressive sprinter who arrives here chasing a hat-trick after wins at Southwell and over C&D last month; up 4lb in a higher class but improvers are thin on the ground here and he holds strong claims. |
2/1 |

2nd 10 (9) |
4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Off the mark at Chepstow (5f, good) in August but is 0-3 on AW; beaten a neck at Bath (5.5f, good to firm) in September and may still have more improvement in him if he can translate that form to artificial surfaces. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Punished for his win in a weak C&D maiden last November and the handicapper has been in command this year; more realistically treated again now but this won't be an easy race in which to try and dominate. |
16/1 |
|
9 (10) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Limited impact in handicaps since winning a four-runner C&D maiden in November and he let his many supporters down when flopping on return visit here last time; continues to fall down the weights so interesting to see if his backers return. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Latest 6f run not the one to judge him on and his earlier 5f runs this year were both encouraging enough; on a dangerous mark if the new headgear has the desired effect. |
5/1 |
|
13th 3 (14) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted. |

6th 5 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Useful 2yo form at 6f, including on this track, but has had just four runs since and he's been soundly beaten in two runs after missing the whole of 2024; already 9lb lower than the first of them but lots to prove. |
33/1 |
|
8th 4 (2) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Promising 2yo, including a soft-ground Redcar win (6f); absent for 713 days prior to finishing tailed off in a 7f handicap at Redcar in April; that was his only run for Geoff Oldroyd and he's now back with his original trainer (and running in his colours) so presumably not felt to be a busted flush; risky but could yet bounce back. |
