3rd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Smart in his pomp; 2026 has been a struggle but he has dropped 19lb in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company; too much ability to discount but he is looking increasingly moody in the early part of his races. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was off 15lb higher in July 2025; threatened only once from seven starts this term, in a small field three runs ago, and soon got detached on last two outings, so others are readily preferred. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Has a couple of C&D wins on his record; not found his best form this year and he has too much to prove for comfort, for all he is tumbling down the weights. |

2nd Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Two 5f wins for Tom Clover last season, including a Goodwood handicap off this mark; best run for new connections when second of eight in an Ayr handicap last week (5f, good; tongue-tied for the first time); dangerous if he can reproduce that on today's ground (untried on faster than good). |

travelled strongly, prominent, pressed leader halfway, pushed along over 1f out, ridden to lead inside final furlong, kept on until headed towards finish |

16th May 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Bought for 14,000gns in October having won at Goodwood (good to soft) for Tom Clover the previous month; has not hit form for this yard this year; back on his last winning mark but not well drawn. |

10th Oct 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Beat The Caltonian over C&D off this mark in June; in and out since but he won this race 12 months ago off a higher mark and he's one of the likelier types. |
10/1 |

9th 2 (6) |
1st Oct 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Up against it on the wrong side in the Silver Cup ten days ago but he'll be happier back in a Class 4 and now on the same mark as the latest of his three course wins (6f, good to firm) in June; one to be interested in. |

25th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Made all at Pontefract in April and runner-up twice in a row in May; not written off but subsequent form has been mixed so he's not a solid option. |
6/1 |
|
10th 11 (11) |
13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Made all at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in April; beaten only a head over C&D off 1lb higher in May and arguably unlucky not to go close at the least over C&D again last time, finishing well for fourth having met trouble at a crucial stage; his draw isn't ideal but still respected. |
10/1 |

Pontefract winner in April (5f, good to soft); two good runs in May, the first when second over this C&D; hasn't been in such good form on last two runs. |

3rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Without a win for nearly three years; has slipped down the weights and didn't look a lost cause in his penultimate race. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Fairly useful at his best but has not won for nearly three years; has slipped a fair way in the weights and stepped up on reappearance form when respectable fifth at Ayr last time, only his third run for the yard; more to do, not least from this draw. |

Sprung a 40-1 surprise at Wolverhampton in November (6f); unplaced in three runs since but he hasn't been beaten far on the last two occasions; not solid but he's capable on his good days. |

Better strike-rate on turf than AW and beaten in a C&D classified on latest AW start; two midfield finishes on turf have followed, the latest on Monday, and others appeal more for win purposes. |
7/1 |

24th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |

Has been a grand servant to the yard with two of his nine wins coming over C&D; latest success came at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month and he should not be far away. |
7/1 |

6th 12 (3) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Scored over C&D (fifth course victory) in July and not discredited with fourth of six in 5f classified event at Wolverhampton ten day ago; very much one to consider back here. |
