28th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 13lb |
Made a winning start for this yard at Pontefract (6f) in April and has continued to run well; not seen to ideal effect when fourth of nine back there (6f) 12 days ago; very much one to consider. |
10/1 |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Won on stable/seasonal debut over C&D (good) in April and he ran really well in defeat last month, beaten only 1l when fourth of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago; solid contender. |

1st 6 (4) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month and beat three rivals to follow up over this C&D (good to firm); not written off after just one lesser run but he was only sixth of eight behind Alfa Whiteburd over C&D (good to firm) 11 days ago and has to bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Goes well here and arrives seeking a hat-trick after wins at Catterick and over C&D (readily latest; both good to firm); carries penalty but on last week's evidence that may still not stop him. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (1) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways with a hard-fought success at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; goes well at Pontefract and he is a major player despite a small rise in the weights. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Scored over C&D in first-tiime cheekpieces on stable debut in July and followed up with narrow success at Epsom (6f, good to firm) last month; could still have more improvement to come for James Owen; must be considered. |
3/1 |
|
1st 7 (3) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Tim Easterby with two good efforts in the spring and made winning stable debut at Southwell (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) last month; will be fine back on turf and could still have more to offer for new stable; major player. |
7/4 |
|
1st 12 (8) |
27th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Expensive to follow this season, having missed ten months, for Tim Easterby; run well on Tapeta before and a couple of times in a visor too, so it wouldn't surprise were to to take this in first-time cheekpieces. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Fair reappearance at Pontefract but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; down the field behind Magic Boy here 13 days ago. |
25/1 |
|
11th 9 (9) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins have come on good to soft ground but he does have one good run on good to firm to his name; disappointed at Windsor last month but this is an ease in grade. |
40/1 |
|
12th 12 (10) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Two 6f wins to his name on good to soft ground; unplaced in two runs this year but neither run was without promise; he will need a personal best to come out on top here though. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Not an instant success for new stable this season but won easily by 4l off much-reduced mark at Carlisle (5.8f, good) ten days ago and is 4lb ahead of the handicapper under 5lb penalty here; commands respect. |
11/10 |
|
1st 2 (5) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time visor when fifth of 19 at York (6f, good to firm) last month but failed to build on that performance when favourite at Nottingham three weeks ago and is now 0-7 for David O'Meara. |
9/1 |
|
5th 2 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 18y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Unplaced in six runs for David O'Meara, but he's tumbling down the weights and he showed more at York (6f, good to firm; visored first time) ten days ago; this is a drop in class and something bigger is brewing. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
6f novice win here last summer came after a wind op; well beaten at Pontefract on his seasonal return, after which he underwent further wind surgery; dangerous mark if it has the desired effect. |
12/1 |
|
6th 6 (1) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Underwent wind surgery prior to his Doncaster novice success last July (6f, good); ran well in a 7f handicap at York two weeks later but his form dropped off afterwards; gelded during his absence; dangerous mark but may find others having his measure now back from a break. |
12/1 |
|
10th 11 (13) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from wind surgery with a 6f novice win at Doncaster in July and subsequently achieved more when a close fourth of 16 in a 7f handicap at York in July; not so tempting on subsequent runs though and offputting he declined a soft-ground race last month. |
12/1 |
