27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Form took off once handicapping in a tongue tie and his impressive C&D win on Good Friday, his fifth on the bounce, was off 32lb higher than the first; progress ground to a halt on turf last month but not out of the question the return to AW will perk him back up. |

13th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Record of 5-5, all over 6f/7f on AW this year, since handicapping; registered the latest success on finals day at Newcastle; major contender, assuming his tremendous progress can be sustained back on turf. |
7/2 |

1st 6 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
4-4 since fitted with a tongue tie and switched to handicaps; now a whopping 32lb higher than when his winning sequence began and he is tackling much stronger opposition this afternoon but he barely broke sweat last time and his ceiling is yet to be established. |

7th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Fair maiden who went too freely tried in cheekpieces when last of ten in 7f Lingfield handicap 11 days ago; could bounce back now the headgear is dispensed with. |
8/1 |

10th 9 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
No improvement for handicapping yet but she has finished third in three of her last four starts; cheekpieces now added but when tried in blinkers she pulled hard and was well beaten. |

3rd 4 (6) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Placed over 7f-1m at Southwell in two of her five starts; reportedly ran too freely in newly applied blinkers (discarded now) at Wolverhampton three weeks ago; it's back to basics now. |

15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
In cracking form since joining this yard and he was winning his third race from his last four starts when always in command at Haydock (7f, good) last Saturday; goes up another 5lb but he's progressing well. |
11/4 |

1st 2 (10) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Thriving since joining Charlie Clover, justifying favouritism at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm; Napolian fourth) 11 days ago; may have more in the tank, although this is warmer and he's 5lb higher. |
7/2 |

1st 4 (7) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
In good form since 8,000gns buy in April, winning off 5lb lower at Brighton in June (7f, good to firm; 8-11) before a good second to a subsequent winner at Doncaster nine days later (1m, good to firm); contender. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has remained in form since breaking his duck at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, albeit he didn't find much back at 7f on Newcastle AW recently; likely to give his running but others may have more scope off their current marks. |
4/1 |

5th 13 (5) |
25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten a nose by stablemate Surgeon Commander over C&D in January; won off a 4lb lower mark at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, and on the premises twice since, backing out of contention only late on at Carlisle (fourth) ten days ago; task isn't impossible. |
8/1 |

4th 5 (2) |
15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Came good at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in April, his 11th start, and had awkward draw on the wing when fourth off new mark at Ripon (6f, good) last month; remains very much of interest. |

21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Stepped forward from his first two efforts when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in October; subsequently gelded but he pulled too hard on handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, AW; hooded) 61 days ago; drops back in trip with the hood removed. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (3) |
19th Feb 2026 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
280,000euros yearling; failed to shine in three novice/maiden events, albeit faring a bit better over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton (6f; fourth, 20-1) in October last time; gelded and fitted with a hood (usually races freely) for handicap debut; perhaps has simply needed time. |
7/1 |

4th 5 (6) |
20th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |

Down the field in two 7f turf runs last month; showed speed last time but still not sure to benefit from this drop in trip on paper. |
