1st 5 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Pretty consistent in seven AW runs and well backed when leading final 1f to win the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May on return to turf; failed to live up to favouritism in another consolation race at Newcastle (2m Vase, AW) three weeks ago but that sixth of 20 off this mark was his best form, so he remains one to be interested in. |
6/1 |

6th 4 (11) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Pretty consistent in seven AW runs and well backed when leading final 1f to win the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f) on last month's return to turf; up 5lb but he's a rising force. |
4/1 |
|
1st 10 (11) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten at Newmarket (good) last September on handicap debut but pretty consistent in his five AW races since, on last two occasions winning over 1m6f and second of 14 over 2m; peak AW form needs to be transferred. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Successful for two previous yards but holds weak claims on his efforts for current stable; campaigned mostly at about 1m and has enough to prove back up in trip; blinkers replace the cheekpieces worn last time. |
25/1 |
|
9th 6 (10) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Successful for two previous yards but holds weak claims on his two efforts for current stable; chance largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear. |
33/1 |
|
8th 5 (9) |
12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Made all for both wins at around 1m on turf last year, each for a different stable; has run well on Tapeta, but Polytrack remains a question and he will need to do better than on his debut for this yard at Bath 15 days ago. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on his best 2025 form but he's struggled in his last five starts including two runs for new yard this summer; overall record is now 1-18 and he has plenty to prove. |
33/1 |
|
7th 1 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Good-ground 7f Newbury handicap winner off 1lb higher for Charlie Clover last term but, after rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam, he found Meydan a struggle in the winter; weakened to be beaten 8l in amateur riders' event at Chester (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was his stable debut after three months off and he's down to a career-low mark; might step forward so watch the market. |
25/1 |
|
9th 1 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
A fair 7f scorer for Charlie Clover in 2025; little show in a trio of runs in Meydan for Jane Chapple-Hyam early this year though; since changed hands for 10,000gns and he starts out for another new yard with more needed in first-timne cheekpieces. |

|
3rd 4 (5) |
26th Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Has reached the frame on all four starts, up with his best form when fourth of 11 in novice at Windsor on step up to 1m last time; unraced on softer than good; goes handicapping and lack of improvement since debut is a concern. |
5/1 |
|
4th 9 (13) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Has reached the frame in all three runs and he stayed on well when third at Epsom (7f, good; 15-8 favourite) last Monday; hasn't progressed so far but he could find improvement on this step up to 1m and he's not ruled out. |

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. |
7/1 |
|
1st 2 (7) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile and in-form 4yo; opened his AW account in Lingfield contest (1m2f) in February; sound efforts at Kempton (1m) and Lingfield (1m4f; Good Friday card) since, finishing fourth both times; solid claims back down in distance. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
His last two 7f wins came off just a 1lb lower mark, most recently in February, but he wasn't at his best in two runs last month on turf and the AW; others higher up the list. |
14/1 |
|
8 (3) |
19th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won off 3lb lower at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in February; good second over 6f at Newcastle next time but his form has cooled in last two starts; bit to prove again and he needs to bounce back near best. |
12/1 |
|
8 (3) |
2nd Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
All three wins have been at 7f but he was a good second over this trip at Newcastle on AW finals day; didn't pack the same punch when fifth at Ascot (7f, good to firm) last time but he's still unexposed as a sprinter and is not ruled out back in trip. |

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. |

20th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
0-15 when trained by Ed Dunlop and absent since two disappointing 1m runs in the spring; on good mark and sports first-time tongue-tie on stable debut; blinkers removed; market may guide. |
12/1 |
|
8th 3 (1) |
8th Apr 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
14-race maiden but runner-up four times; ran no sort of race when last of nine in first-time visor at Newcastle AW (1m) last month and reverts back to blinkers here; the penny will drop one of these days and he's now on a career-low mark; not out of this. |

Again made the running when cracking late on last Tuesday's nursery debut (stiff 7f, heavy); today's less-testing course should help but she needs more. |

Eight-race maiden; not beaten far despite finishing only sixth at Lingfield last month (1m4f, visored first time); Rossa Ryan booked and she continues to edge down the weights. |
9/1 |

8 (5) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Came home nicely over 1m on her handicap debut and her latest effort over this trip (useful dam stayed 1m2f) looks best ignored, with her held up in a messy affair; retains some potential in first-time headgear. |
10/1 |

5th 7 (4) |
24th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 201y Class 5 |

Has shown much more in her last two starts, as when an eyecatching sixth of 13 on her reappearance/handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f, good) last month; bred to stay well so one to consider. |
