9th 9 (8) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Was having his first start since wind surgery when winning over 1m here in March, but the wheels have come off completely since; best watched for now. |
50/1 |

10th 10 (4) |
6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Recorded his second success, at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March off this mark, but has been beaten 43l, 58l and 27l since; first-time blinkers need to have a significant impact. |
50/1 |
|
12th 6 (4) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
50-1 winner over 1m here (first start since wind surgery) in March; has failed to beat a rival in two subsequent starts, tailed off (beaten 58l) at Doncaster six weeks ago; difficult to know what to expect. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Remains a maiden after nine starts but he's been runner-up in two handicaps (including on turf) and was a close third at Newcastle (1m, AW) most recently; every chance he'll be thereabouts once more. |

2nd 4 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In cracking form since joining this yard and he was winning his third race from his last four starts when always in command at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday; goes up another 5lb but he's progressing well. |
11/4 |
|
1st 2 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Thriving since joining Charlie Clover, justifying favouritism at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; Napolian fourth) 11 days ago; may have more in the tank, although this is warmer and he's 5lb higher. |
7/2 |
|
1st 4 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In good form since 8,000gns buy in April, winning off 5lb lower at Brighton in June (7f, good to firm; 8-11) before a good second to a subsequent winner at Doncaster nine days later (1m, good to firm); contender. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Made a successful reappearance/handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March, but hasn't really kicked on since; something to prove now making his turf debut in first-time cheekpieces. |
12/1 |
|
11th 8 (9) |
20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from five months off to make a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) in March, but hasn't built on it albeit not disgraced when fourth of 12 here (7f) last month; return to this trip not sure to suit. |
9/1 |
|
4th 6 (12) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Emphatically got off the mark at Newcastle (7f) on his return but he went too freely when only seventh (6-5 favourite) in 1m handicap there later in March; he's worth another chance dropped back in trip. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Inconsistent sort who has been campaigned mostly over 7f, winning once (on AW); only a modest fourth at Redcar most recently; enough to prove back up in distance. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
50-1 when narrowly landing a Newcastle nursery (7f, AW) in November, but not matched that form in three starts since returning in April, including when attracting market support over C&D last month. |
12/1 |
|
7th 1 (4) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Handed a 4lb rise for his shock Tapeta winner late last year (only decent effort thus far) and has finished well held in two runs back; will need to improve a deal on last year's turf work but this is easier. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner who has achieved little on turf, latterly for new stable; had wind surgery since last run; something to prove. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Won 7f/1m2f AW handicaps for Nigel Tinkler last year but has finished tailed off on all three starts this term, including back on turf for new yard 16 days ago. |
