23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Now 11lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara last autumn but has lost his way; it's a long time since he won on turf and even longer since he ran in a sprint, so he is hard to fancy back from a break. |

3rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
8lb lower than when successful for David O'Meara over C&D in October, but has lost his way including in five starts for this yard; drops into a Class 6 for the first time in his career, but has plenty to prove; cheekpieces return. |

Yet to offer much in four runs for his current yard, just eighth of 11 in 7f Kempton handicap 24 days ago; significantly more is required from this three-time C&D winner. |

7f win here in December came off a 1lb higher mark; two low-key turf runs this summer and sold for £2,500 in August; cheekpieces the headgear of choice on stable debut. |

Didn't find much after travelling strongly at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last month but that was his first run since February and he's on a good mark if the outing brought him on. |

Won here over 7f in February either side of wins over this trip at Kempton; encountered a wide trip when down the field in a higher grade than this last time and he may well be able to bounce back. |

8th 11 (8) |
28th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Arrives seeking a four-timer, two of the wins over C&D, and he hasn't been treated punitively by the assessor having gone up just 6lb; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but there are no doubts surrounding his wellbeing. |
12/1 |

1st 6 (8) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Has started 2026 with wins over C&D and in a small field at Wolverhampton (7f); only 1lb higher on the hat-trick bid but this is more competitive and he's drawn widest. |

29th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor (5f) in May but his form has nosedived, last of seven in 5f Sandown handicap in July; back from a break now with a bit to prove. |
25/1 |
|
7th 6 (2) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Windsor (5f, good to firm) in May and second at Bath (5f, firm) next time; the track may not have suited at Brighton last time and he could bounce back with a big run. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Has run well in competitive handicaps this summer, notably his third of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) two runs ago; big shout on that form if he can brush off his below-par effort at Newbury. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (7) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Chelmsford and he has run well in competitive handicaps on turf this summer, most recently finishing third of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid. |
11/2 |

3rd 6 (15) |

Sixth of 22 over C&D (good) in May on reappearance and further respectable efforts when fifth of 14 on his next two starts (7f, good to firm); however, he needs something extra to return to winning ways today. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four wins at sprint trips and 7f in 2025; slow start for new yard in 2026 but he wasn't far away at Newmarket (6f, good) behind one who has won a better race since and he didn't do badly from off the pace on Wolverhampton AW since; needs a clear run run in this big field but has a squeak. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |

Placed twice over about 1m on turf since winning readily by 3l over C&D in April and has good claims if judged on those exploits but blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Chepstow in August. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 14y Class 2 |

Wins have all come in April but there was nothing wrong with his Doncaster second off 2lb lower a month ago, when clear with a subsequent winner; not always been the most consistent, though, and would have preferred some rain. |

Two wins for Harriet Bethell in April last year, over 1m at Newcastle and over 7f on soft here (won by 4l); has changed yards twice since (bought for 2,000gns in October); won again at Wolverhampton in April (7f) but hasn't done quite as well since. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Runner-up on AW at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and Lingfield (1m) this summer, but he was well below form at Southwell last time and that took his losing run up to 16; others preferred. |

4th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |

Tough filly whose 14 runs for Karl Burke last year included a win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) and an unlucky runner-up spot in this race (good); kept busy for this yard too, adding another three AW wins to her record; not far off her best when second last time and she could have a say if soft ground doesn't dent her prospects. |
