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. |
11/2 |

3rd 4 (1) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Had a very productive spell at Meydan earlier in the year, winning two handicaps before progressing again when second to Quddwah in Group 2 Singspiel and fifth to Ombudsman in Group 1 Dubai Turf (both 1m1f, good); those efforts suggest he can make his presence felt in Listed races back in Britain but this is a particularly strong one. |

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. |

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. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
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. |

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. |
100/30 |
|
1st 8 (1) |
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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 |
