10th 12 (3) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May and beat Team Player by a nose to score at Newbury in July; another step forward when second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot (again 2m on good to firm) 11 days ago and a 1lb rise surely won't prevent another bold show. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 5 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won the 17-runner Chester Plate (2m2f, good) in May on return to turf and went in again last time at Newbury (2m, good to firm), where it was hard work in the end but he travelled strongly deep into the race; only 3lb higher and hasn't had a lot of racing. |
9/4 |
|
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. |

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. |

11th 6 (8) |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
He's 1-22 overall but came from rear to finish third behind a major improver over 1m at Newmarket three weeks ago (good to firm); should have some part to play. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
14th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
On dangerous mark but he's generally struggled this year except for a fair third in a Chester handicap (7.6f, good) last month; had tough task in a claimer last time but he's now 1-21 and others are more convincing |

|
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. |

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. |

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. |

9st 13lb |
Nine-race maiden whose best effort was a third of 13 at Goodwood (1m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in June 2025; opposable on subsequent AW exploits (visored in the last two races) and she's been off since February. |
