Clive Cox Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of four of his seven starts and currently rated 101. Finished ninth, beaten six lengths, to Vafortino in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f) this month off a mark of 102.

Trainer says

He ran in a small field first time out which didn’t give him a chance to settle and he ran well from a bad draw in the Victoria Cup. We are looking forward to exploring a mile with him and he is in the Royal Hunt Cup and also has the option of the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot. He hasn’t run on too soft a surface yet and most of his form is on faster ground but we have yet to discover whether he will act on easier ground.

Form profile

Winner of three of his nine starts and currently rated 90. Returned to winning form when beating Asad half a length at Haydock (7f) this month off a mark of 85.

Trainer says

He ran with plenty of promise first time at Doncaster and the ground just had enough moisture in it for him to win at the weekend. He is a really honest reliable performer who prefers a bit of ease in the ground. He has the scope to step up to a mile too.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 15 starts and currently rated 95. Best effort this term when third, beaten two and a quarter lengths, to Accidental Agent in a handicap at Newmarket (7f) in April off a mark of 96.

Trainer says

He is a really good top of the ground seven-furlong performer and wasn’t helped with the draw in the Victoria Cup. He has some very good form and ran a blinder in the International at Ascot last year. I think seven is his trip and I hope one of these top end handicaps will give him a chance to show his wellbeing.

Form profile

Winner of three of his eight starts and currently rated 109. Finished runner-up, beaten a head, to Volatile Analyst in a Listed contest at Doncaster (6f) in March.

Trainer says

Diligent Harry ran really well in the Cammidge Trophy and we have had a little bit of a hold up with him after that. He is well entered up and I hope he will be ready for the Jubilee and I have also put him in the King’s Stand on Adam’s (Kirby) recommendation. He travels well and doesn’t want conditions too soft and with choices available that will, hopefully, give us a chance to succeed at a high level.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 10 starts and currently rated 97. Finished fourth, beaten a length and three quarters, to Caroline Dale in a handicap at Southwell in January off a mark of 97 when last seen out.

Trainer says

He did really well at the beginning of the year when winning a valuable handicap at Southwell. He has some great form in the book and he is probably better over five than six these days. After being a little wayward in his early days in the stalls, he has become a supreme professional. He is literally just coming back after a break and there are some very nice races over five furlongs to look forward to with him.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 10 starts and currently rated 90. Finished fifth, beaten three and a half lengths, to Dusky Lord on his latest start at Newmarket (5f) this month off a mark of 91.

Trainer says

He won first time this year at Bath and didn’t really handle the track at Newmarket last time. We are hoping we can re-group and build on his reappearance run. He definitely wants top of the ground and we will find opportunities for him shortly.

Form profile

Winner of three of her 14 starts and currently rated 89. Returned to winning form at Wolverhampton (6f) in February when scoring by two lengths from Palifico off a mark of 81 and followed up over seven furlongs on that course in March when beating Amber Island three quarters of a length off a mark of 87.

Trainer says

She did really well stepping up to seven furlongs on the All-Weather in the winter. She had a little bit of a hold up but she is on her way back and is in good form now. I think we can move our choices between six and seven furlongs and I am not ruling out the possibility that she might be good enough to get some Listed-placed form in the book as well.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 15 starts and currently rated 102. Finished third, beaten two and a half lengths, to Vafortino in the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f) this month off his current mark.

Trainer says

He is a very competitive handicapper who won the Victoria Cup last year and ran on very strongly in the closing stages to be placed third in the race this year. He does really like Ascot and appreciates a bit of cut in the ground. I think those strongly run seven-furlong races are ideal for him - he didn’t last home over a mile when we tried him last year. He is going to be looking at the Buckingham Palace.

Form profile

Winner of four of her 12 starts and currently rated 86. Finished runner-up, beaten a head, to Soft Whisper at Ascot (1m) this month off a mark of 83.

Trainer says

She ran a career best last time at Ascot when just missing out in a £45k race. She won four races last year and, although not getting her head in front yet this year, has improved with those performances. I think she has the scope to spread out to a mile and a quarter as well and we are very pleased with her progress.

Form profile

Winner of eight of his 40 starts and currently rated 112. Finished sixth, beaten four lengths to Khaadem in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes on his reappearance at Newmarket (5f) in April.

Trainer says

He is a real yard favourite and as an eight-year-old I was very proud with the way he still has that wonderful appetite and speed to be very competitive at the top level in five-furlong races. He is heading for the King’s Stand next in which he has finished fourth before and he loves Ascot. For that reason, we are going to keep him fresh for that.

Form profile

Winner of five of her 12 starts and currently rated 82. Finished fourth, beaten six and a half lengths, to After The Rain in a Fillies Handicap at Ascot (1m 2f) this month off her current mark.

Trainer says

She won five last year and she wasn’t suited by the steady pace last time at Ascot. I think it is time we explored a mile and a half with her. She is very genuine and honest and I very much hope she can make further progress over that trip.

Form profile

No wins from six starts and currently rated 70. Came closest to victory when runner-up, beaten a length, to Aphelios at Windsor (6f) last Monday off his current mark.

Trainer says

He ran a very good second at Windsor on Monday. We dropped him back to six furlongs after being very keen over seven. That was a big step forward and would have given him a bit of confidence.

Form profile

Winner of two of her five starts and currently rated 95. Finished third, beaten two lengths, to Sense Of Duty in a Listed Fillies event at Haydock (6f) this month on her latest start.

Trainer says

Benefit was Listed-placed in the Cecil Frail at Haydock last weekend. We did think she was a little keen first time out in the Fred Darling but John Fahy did a super job and definitely found the key to riding her. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the way she finished off and we hope she can add to her CV with potential black type races.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 10 starts and currently rated 110. Finished fifth, beaten three lengths, to El Caballo in the Group 2 Sandy Lane Stakes at Haydock (6f) this month.

Trainer says

He won the Flying Childers last year and was second in the Prix Sigy over five and a half furlongs first time back. He didn’t quite hit the line in the Sandy Lane giving us the impression that he is going to be better back over five than staying at six. He has got stronger and become speedier with it and is an exciting prospect to look forward too.

Form profile

Winner of one of her two starts and currently rated 73. Finished third, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Criollo in a novice event at Lingfield (7f) in January.

Trainer says

She won first time up at Newbury last year and has had a couple of setbacks but is back in action. There are a couple of 0-75s for three-year-olds only at Sandown that we will be looking at for her next time. She is pleasing me in her home work.

Form profile

Winner of one of her five starts and currently rated 93. Finished third, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Last Crusader in a Listed event at York (5f) this month.

Trainer says

She was third in a Listed race at York last time backing up her placed effort in the Lansdowne at Bath. She loves top of the ground is very fast and needs to stay at five furlongs. I hope she can get her head in front shortly.

Form profile

Winner of three of his seven starts and currently rated 97. Returned to winning form in a handicap at Newmarket (6f) this month when scoring by a length and a half from River Pride off a mark of 91.

Trainer says

He has been very progressive and is on 97 now. He won his first two and put in two commendable efforts at Newmarket and got his head in front there last time. He is a half-brother to Diligent Harry and, knowing the family well, they do progress with time and maturity. I am very excited about him moving forward into top company.

Form profile

Winner of two of his three starts and currently rated 87. Scored by half a length from Rizg at Doncaster (6f) in April and lost his unbeaten record when third, beaten a length and a half, to Lethal Levi at Haydock (6f) on Thursday.

Trainer says

He was very pleasing first time out at Wolverhampton first time up and then at Doncaster it was nice to see him translate that form to the turf. With the small field at Haydock on Thursday, I don’t think the pace was that generous which did count against him. He was doing his best work in the closing stages and just like his brother River Nymph he is going to be helped by a step up to seven furlongs.

Form profile

Winner of two of his eight starts and currently rated 95. Better effort this term when third beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Boonie in a conditions event at Nottingham (5f) in April.

Trainer says

He was a winner on the All-Weather last year before being Listed-placed at Doncaster at the backend. He ran with credit first time back at Nottingham over five and he does like a bit of ease in the ground which is why we dropped him in trip there. He ran in the Carnarvon but the ground was just a bit too quick for him and we will try and find the right conditions to bring about more progress from him. He is very honest and I think he has done well from two to three.

Form profile

Winner of one of his four starts and currently rated 71. Finished runner-up, beaten two lengths, to Makarova at Salisbury (6f) this month off a mark of 70.

Trainer says

He was held up with an injury after his first run last year but made up for it winning down at Bath and finishing a healthy second at Salisbury last time over six. He is in over five at Salisbury on Saturday and I would be hopeful he can continue to progress.

Form profile

Winner of two of his seven starts and currently rated 83. Scored by two and a quarter lengths from Open Mind in a handicap at Lingfield (6f) last Tuesday off his current mark.

Trainer says

After some healthy form last year he won at Wolverhampton first time back this year and probably didn’t settle well enough at Ascot in much better company. He made amends at Lingfield earlier this week and was far more mature in his approach and showed an amazing turn of foot. I hope we can build on that success.

Form profile

Winner of his four starts and currently rated 98. Made a winning reappearance at Newbury (7f) in April when beating Private Signal three quarters of a length off a mark of 83 and followed up with a half-length defeat of Mighty Ulysses at Haydock (1m) last Saturday off a mark of 88.

Trainer says

He is a very exciting horse and is unbeaten in four starts. He won a really nice prize when landing the Silver Bowl at Haydock on Saturday and has the most amazing temperament. I am pleased that he took the step up to a mile in his stride and most importantly he has a proper change of gear. From a less than perfect start and journey into the straight at Haydock last weekend, he showed an amazing turn of foot to win quite cosily really. It was very satisfying and he is the most straightforward horse to train. His progress on the track again and I am delighted for Paul and Claire Rooney we have enjoyed success at the highest level with My Dreamboat and, similarly, Crack On Crack On won the Silver Bowl for them. He has gone up 10lb and I am that still leaves us on a workable mark in the Britannia Handicap.

Form profile

Winner of two of his seven starts and currently rated 109. Finished creditable third, beaten two lengths, to El Caballo in the Group 2 Sandy Land Stakes at Haydock (6f) this month on latest start.

Trainer says

He was a Group 2 winner in the Mill Reef last year and he had a penalty on his return in the Pavilion and was just a little rusty. As a trial it was a stepping stone and he came forward on Saturday when finishing third in the Sandy Lane and I still think he is on his way back. He has done well physically and has the size and the scope and really is developing into the finished article.

Form profile

No wins from five starts and currently rated 78. Finished third, beaten six and a quarter lengths, to Chairman in a handicap at Bath (1m 2f) on Tuesday.

Trainer says

She has run some really nice race and I think she has bumped into a couple of very nice colts. I think a mile and a half will bring out more progress and I think she is very honest.

Form profile

Improved on debut effort when runner-up, beaten a neck, to Remarkable Force in a novice at Salisbury (5f) this month.

Trainer says

He was second at Salisbury last time but sadly came home a bit sore. I am sure he will be able to move forward shortly all being well.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten three and a quarter lengths, to Looking For Lynda on a novice event at Nottingham (5f) this month.

Trainer says

Friday Already finished second at Nottingham and ran with promise. We will be stepping up to six furlong and would appreciate not too firm a surface.

Form profile

Winner of one of his three starts. Off the mark with a two-length success from Democracy Dilemma at Salisbury (5f) in April.

Trainer says

He won in a very nice time at Salisbury after being second at Windsor first time. The ground was too soft for him at Goodwood last week and it could help to step back to five furlongs as well.

Form profile

Winner of both of her starts. Scored by three quarters of a length from Baccarat Boy at Salisbury at the start of the month and followed up with a four and a half length success from Radio Goo Goo in a novice event at Windsor (5f) eight days later.

Trainer says

She is a very special filly who won first time at Salisbury despite showing plenty of greenness and moved forward with a huge step in a novice at Windsor. She achieved the second fastest two-year-old time at Windsor with a penalty. I am thrilled with her and she is by Havana Grey who is having a wonderful time. She will be heading to the Queen Mary.

Form profile

Winner of one of her three starts. Off the mark with a half-length success from Pillow Talk in a novice event at Nottingham (5f) in April.

Trainer says

She was placed in a very nice race at Newmarket before winning at Nottingham in a course record time. I don’t think she handled the ground at York and she has bags of speed and wants a proper fast surface. I am sure can continue winning ways and hopefully get some black type along the way.

Form profile

Third in both his starts. Beaten four and three quarter lengths to Noble Style at Ascot (5f) latest this month.

Trainer says

He has been third a couple of times and was a bit green first time. I am sure he has lots of ability and it was a really hot race at Ascot with the fourth horse coming out and winning impressively at Goodwood. Things haven’t fallen into place but I am full of confidence that they will.

Form profile

Made a pleasing start to his career when scoring readily by a length and a half from Lakota Blue in a maiden at Haydock (6f) on Thursday.

Trainer says

He passed his first racecourse experience at Haydock on Thursday with flying colours and is a very exciting prospect. We will monitor his wellbeing and see how he come out of the race before making any decision. He is a horse with lots of scope and is basically 16.1h and did that so well and has a bright future. We will try and make the right decisions to develop that.
