31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
3-3 on AW, two of the wins coming over C&D, and he showed what he could do on turf when a fine fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; last of 17 at the Ebor meeting but he was making some inroads when meeting traffic and eased inside the final furlong; one to consider. |

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 |

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. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win and best form has been on the AW, and it's nearly a year since he finished last in a Newbury handicap (1m); perhaps best watched. |
12/1 |
|
14th 2 (16) |
12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Reappeared having been gelded and has shown improved form this spring, going close at Kempton (7f, AW) then winning there (1m); has shown signs of promise on turf and he's a player if transferring his good form back to grass. |
15/2 |

1st 8 (4) |
5th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Excuses in two nursery runs here last backend and turned in a career-best effort on his 7f comeback here three weeks ago, when coming away with a subsequent winner off 3lb lower; goes on the shortlist. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
He had been knocking on the door prior to his 10.4f win at Haydock last summer; not so good since but he should be sharper with his reappearance behind him and he is only 2lb higher than for the win; unexposed at 1m4f and respected back on turf. |
5/1 |
|
7th 1 (10) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Haydock winner (10.5f, good) last August and ended the campaign with a fine third of 14 over this C&D; off 222 days since, but he ran well on his reappearance last year; shortlisted. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 12 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
First two starts here but kept to turf subsequently; made the breakthrough at Haydock (10.5f) in August; lesser effort followed up to this grade at Newbury (1m2f, also good) three weeks later; still not ruled out. |

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. |

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. |
4/1 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ran with credit when fourth of 13 at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) 16 days ago having won over 1m2f here the time before, but his only previous go over this far didn't prove his stamina one way or the other. |
9/1 |
|
4th 2 (7) |
18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won a 1m Windsor maiden last April; big step up to 1m4f didn't work at Wolverhampton in January but he got the better of King's Hand, who runs in the finale, over the intermediate trip of 1m2f at Lingfield last time; up 3lb. |

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. |

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. |
16/1 |
|
6th 3 (3) |
27th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
One win apiece for his two previous yards, taking his turf record to 22411; ran well on AW last time and sold for 25,000gns since; interesting returned to this sphere on debut for another new stable. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 6 (3) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Eighth attempt when making all in a Beverley maiden (8.5f); left Charlie Johnston and made a winning start for new stable with another all-the-way success at Haydock (1m) in September; 9-4 favourite, something presumably not right (hung left and weakened quickly) when last of ten at Southwell in November; given a bit of time since; no surprise were he to resume his progress. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

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 |

Big prices, beaten 26l and 15l in two 1m novices at Kempton. |
