11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stable yet to get rolling for the year but he was a bright spot when springing a surprise over C&D off 3lb lower in February; not entirely convinced over 7f a couple of times since and holds each-way claims. |

4th 7 (6) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
6f winner here on his penultimate start and he didn't fail through a lack of stamina when third at Chelmsford 13 days ago; he was well positioned in a race where nothing challenged from the rear there though and others appeal more for win purposes. |

3rd 6 (3) |
26th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Strong at the finish when winning a 6f handicap at Southwell two weeks ago; the subsequent 4lb rise looks less of a concern than the additional furlong. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Not had a lot of luck with one thing and another lately and won't mind going back up to an easy 7f as he bids to take his course record to 3-3; higher in the weights than when twice winning easily here for Tom Clover last backend but he's respected. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Enjoyed a revival for Charlie Clover between October 2025 and February this year, winning three times; not so good in four runs for current yard but he is slipping back down the weights. |

4th 10 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Three 6f wins towards the end of last year (including on good to soft/good to firm); took a step back in the right direction when third of seven at Southwell (7f, AW) last time and may be able to build on that run today; each-way possibilities. |

Two turf wins last summer and three AW wins this year, the latest at Wolverhampton in April; ran well when third of five at Salisbury next time but three lesser runs have followed and he needs to raise his game. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 10y Class 4 |

Has won over 6f and 5f on the AW since March and he's perfectly capable on turf, though perhaps not on ground easier than good judged on latest run at Chepstow. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins have come over 6f on AW; two good runs at Carlisle this summer, second in May and third on Saturday, but they were over 6f and his stamina for this trip is the obvious concern. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 7 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Two AW wins to his name and his close second over C&D (good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) in May was up with his best turf form; back on that latter mark after two lesser efforts so can't be readily dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (6) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual 6f winner on the AW; decent efforts last two turf runs, notably when neck second on good to soft at Carlisle last month (6f; cheekpieces on for first time); fair fifth in first-time blinkers at Thirsk last time (6f, good); cheekpieces the preferred option this time; could go well. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
All six wins have been at 6f on AW; consistent sort who ran his usual game race when third of eight at Southwell (6f) in April; has had wind surgery since and must be of interest if it sparks any improvement. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 (6) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three wins, two seconds and a third to his name from 11 starts over C&D; beaten as favourite (behind Farandaway) here a month ago but is on a workable mark now and one to consider back under Rossa Ryan. |
4/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
10th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times in the first half of 2025, three of them over C&D; close third at Kempton last time and he should go well for a stable who were in fine form in February (6-12). |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
In very good form on the AW through the winter (scored twice at Newcastle) but he's yet to show any worthwhile form on turf and came in last of ten in 5f Carlisle handicap last time; others appeal much more. |
16/1 |
|
10th 9 (2) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |

Has something to prove back on turf but is a leading player provided AW form is transferred back to this sphere; runner-up off 10lb higher at Southwell (5f) most recently. |

2nd 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |

Yet to score this term but running well, fourth of ten in 5.5f Doncaster handicap eight days ago; he ought to be thereabouts once more. |

4th 2 (6) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 143y Class 5 |

Both turf wins have been over 6f at York, the latest last summer off 1lb lower; found some trouble in running when third at Pontefract last time and has another big effort in him. |

3rd 5 (8) |

Both turf wins have been over 6f at York, the latest a 22-runner handicap last July (good) when back after wind surgery; creditable sixth at Redcar last time (6f, good to firm); a possible. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time AW winner but he's 1-21 on turf; placed a couple of times this season, including over C&D (good to firm) in April, but he's not easy to predict and was out the back at Doncaster last time; has another switch of headgear and he comes with risks attached. |
9/2 |
|
8th 6 (9) |
20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

A dual 6f scorer last season; comes here on the back of a good third of eight in 6f Leicester handicap last month so needs considering. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (4) |
25th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

He has a much better strike-rate on AW than turf and was well beaten over C&D last time; however, prior to that he was second of six at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) and is not written off today. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Got up late to win Bath novice (5f, good to firm) for Andrew Balding in June; 0-9 for this yard (majority 6f, turf/AW) and first-time cheekpieces (removed) didn't spark an improved effort last time; career-low mark and second go at this trip (first is easily excused) the straws to clutch at. |

6th 4 (4) |
4th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Should be well handicapped now but he hasn't built on a good fourth at Newcastle in December in three subsequent runs; connections reach for cheekpieces tonight. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Completed a double over C&D in November and he got back on the scoresheet when making all at Wolverhampton (7f) three weeks ago; that was a narrow success but he's only 1lb higher and could make another bold bid back in trip. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
6f wins at Wolverhampton and Southwell in the autumn; runner-up twice since and he wasn't beaten far when favourite at Southwell (fifth of eighth) last time; now returns to 7f but he has plenty of form at this trip and he's in the mix. |

9st 1lb |
Ran well over C&D last September; beat 17 rivals when landing a Class 4 handicap at Ascot (6f, good to firm) in May but he was unable to build on it at Pontefract last month; perhaps vulnerable once more. |
13/2 |

6th 5 (3) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Prevailed narrowly in big field at Ascot (6f, good to firm) on return from break, opening his turf account; rested a further six weeks since, keeping him fresh; one of two last-time winners for his yard in this field; shortlisted. |
5/1 |

1st 12 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Yet to win a handicap and he finished down the field on his seasonal return at Southwell in February; down in the weights but he has more to prove than many of these. |
