7th 3 (10) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced on slow ground; won two handicaps in a row at Meydan (1m1f/9.5f, good) in February before Group 2 second there (1m1f, good) and he returned from a break with good third in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); things haven't gone to plan on his two starts since but a line can be put through Goodwood as he got no run; interesting contender. |
20/1 |

7th 6 (1) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Won two handicaps in a row at Meydan (1m1f/9.5f, good) in February before Group 2 second there (1m1f, good); returned from break with good third in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); flopped at Sandown four weeks ago but very much of interest on his earlier form. |
8/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
In great form since wearing cheekpieces, completing a handicap double at Meydan then running well in better races, latest at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm; Listed) back on home soil; solid claims in the retained headgear. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Not at his best in recent outings and still 6lb higher than for his successful reappearance at Goodwood (1m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in May; others preferred. |
14/1 |
|
4 (1) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Returned from winter break with an impressive Goodwood win (1m2f, good) in May, when overcoming trouble in running; has had plausible reasons for defeats since and could well have more to offer back with what look ideal conditions. |
5/1 |
|
4th 1 (7) |
27th Aug 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Came up short in handicaps at major festivals the last twice; respectable form otherwise this term, winning at Goodwood then close second at Epsom; ran well here in sole AW attempt; not dismissed at this level. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Hurdles winner for this yard; resumed Flat career with close third at Thirsk (1m4f) on handicap debut in this sphere last month and justified strong support when narrowly beating Cruden over this trip at Goodwood (also good) a fortnight ago; unexposed and the best is probably yet to come. |
5/2 |
|
1st 2 (1) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Progressive juvenile hurdler this winter and returned to the Flat with a close third at Thirsk (1m4f, good); had no excuses but looks sure to win more races in this scene. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 3 (7) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
A fair 1m4f scorer for Tom Clover who has been in good (winning) form sent hurdling for his current stable this winter, third at Ascot 20 days ago; not out of things on his handicap debut back in this sphere. |

22nd Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Sole success came at Kempton last May; made the frame on all three starts this summer and should give another good account. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (2) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Scored over 1m on Polytrack in May and placed twice behind same progressive rival over that trip on turf at Ffos Las last month; benefits from Mason Paetel's useful 5lb claim here and shapes as though well worth a crack at 1m2f; might be the answer. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 3 (3) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Tended to stick to slow turf/Polytrack; missed a year after finishing lame last June and was entitled to have needed his comeback, when third to Grey Soul over C&D; hit traffic late that day and is 2lb better off, so there's a fair chance he turns things round. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won at Salisbury in May and improved again when second since at Goodwood (again 1m4f on good) and Ascot (1m4f, good to firm); versatile tactically and made the running last time; raised another 3lb but looks set for another bold show. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 3 (12) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
Second of five last term in his only race on good to firm; won at Salisbury in May and improved again when a close second at Goodwood (again 1m4f on good) in June; the Goodwood winner scored again next time but this 4yo has been raised just 1lb and is heading the right way; big shout. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 2 (1) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Raced freely but built on his reappearance effort when winning at Salisbury (1m4f, good) 27 days ago, posting a career best; unexposed over 1m4f and he's considered off this 4lb higher mark. |

25th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Debut winner in August last year but not added to tally since and hasn't been the most consistent; down slightly in both weights and grade but best watched from double-figure draw. |
10/1 |
|
10 (4) |
2nd Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Debut turf winner last year (7.5f, good to soft) but that remains his peak effort; on a handy mark but there's been little recent encouragement. |
33/1 |
|
12th 9 (11) |
16th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Out of the frame in five starts since his successful Chester debut (7.6f, good to soft) in August last year, albeit the trip looked to stretch him at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; down another 3lb but still has questions to answer. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Three wins include one here (1m) in April off a 2lb lower mark; below that level on turf in two starts since and drops back to 7f for the first time since his debut, which would be a concern. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Two wins this year came on the AW, but his sole turf win came over this trip on good to firm ground; may be best to forgive his latest Chester performance and a possible if back on song. |
10/1 |
|
9th 10 (2) |
13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
8st 6lb |
Windsor maiden winner on turf last April but he's been confined to AW for all six starts this year; gets a 3lb nudge for his win at Kempton (1m) last time; 1m2f no issue but this is a notch above the standard he usually plies his trade in. |

22nd Jan 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Never a threat at Chelmsford 13 days ago but she did keep on steadily down the outside, leaving the impression there was better to come; cheekpieces added now and Billy Loughnane takes over for first time; interesting. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
They were Class 6s he won at Redcar and Nottingham (both at 1m6f) and he was only fourth when upped to a Class 5 at Newbury; did suffer some interference but he wasn't unlucky; might be on a tough mark now but cheekpieces are tried. |
6/1 |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 61y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
They were Class 6s he won at Redcar and Nottingham (both at 1m6f) but the horse he beat last time has gone on to better things; up another 5lb but looking progressive. |
9/4 |
|
1 (4) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Improved handicap form when upped in trip at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) in April and took another step forward when winning at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) 24 days ago, beating a stablemate of Deep Water Bay; back up 5lb but he's progressive and has to be respected. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not yet recaptured form for new connections this year but he's on a useful mark now, 12lb lower than a Haydock win (1m, good) last September; needs to show more than of late, even so. |
16/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Won off 9lb higher at Haydock (1m, good) last September but he's struggled for new yard this season and was a well-held fourth of five at Leicester last time; has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround. |
16/1 |

4th 2 (3) |
29th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Signed off for Charlie Johnston/kicked off for James Tate in winning form; last or second last in four starts for current connections (ridden forward each time) and can only be watched; goes without headgear. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Ran as though something may have been amiss on last month's seasonal/handicap debut but, after only four starts, remains very unexposed. |
25/1 |
|
5 (8) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for her three qualifying races (7f-1m) but has more realistic chance to get competitive in this low-grade handicap; worth a glance in the betting. |
10/1 |
|
7th 4 (2) |
7th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
