Tom Clover Stable Tour

Form profile

Winner of six of his 31 starts and currently rated 113. Made a winning reappearance when beating Sunway in a Group 3 at Meydan (1m 6f) in February, Has run well in three runs since particularly when runner-up, beaten two and a quarter lengths, to Rahiebb in Group 2 Yorkshire Cup at York (1m 6f) in May.

Trainer says

We sort of threw him in at the deep end in the Gold Cup, but he ran with plenty of credit and ran past a few at the end. We think he is better going left-handed so that in mind I would think he could go back to the Lonsdale Cup at York. He has run well in the race previously and York is a track he likes very much. He looks in good form and he won a Group 3 early in the year in Dubai and having been placed in a couple of Group 2s, he could be in the frame again.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 14 starts and currently rated 91. Finished fifth, beaten a length and three quarters, to Supido at Chester (7 1/2f) in May off a mark of 92.

Trainer says

He is one of those horses that runs okay on better ground but really loves getting his toe in. He’ll probably go to Newmarket on Friday. He’s run well there over course and distance on quick ground.

Form profile

Winner of three of his 14 starts and currently rated 98. Probably best effort this term when runner-up, beaten a length and three quarters to Sondad at Epsom (6f) in June off a mark of 99.

Trainer says

Invictus was disappointing last time out but he ran very well at Epsom. I think he really likes slower ground, and he like to have a bit of room and sometimes these sprinters can just throw in a poor run or two. He’s a very talented horse and, hopefully, he’s on a mark where he can be competitive and go well again soon but I think really, we’d just love to see him with a bit more cut underfoot.

Form profile

Winner of nine of his 44 starts and currently rated 91. Gained his most recent success at Newmarket (5f) in July when beating Diomed Duke two lengths off a mark of 85.

Trainer says

I thought the handicapper was a touch harsh for his Newmarket win and he’s in at Newbury and Pontefract this weekend. He looks in good form and just loves fast ground but probably just wants to come down a couple of pounds for him to be winning.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 8 starts and currently rated 74. Finished third, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Lady Magu in a fillies’ handicap at Wolverhampton (1m 4f) in July off her current mark

Trainer says

She is one of those fillies that has had a Summer not to suit. She wants to get her toe in, and we’ve had a very dry Summer. She has a lovely pedigree, and I hope she can still progress with juice in the ground.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 15 starts and currently rated 112. Has been narrowly beaten when finishing runner-up in three of his four starts this season. Failed by half a length behind Sons And Lovers in a Group 2 at Riyadh (1m 7f) in February, by a neck to Gregory in the Listed Ebor Grand Cup at York (1m 6f) in June and by a neck behind Mount Atlas in the Group 3 John Smith’s Silver Cup at York (1m 6f) in July.

Trainer says

We’re really fond of this horse and he’s been so unlucky. He’s been second in six of his last nine starts. He’s run with plenty of credit and he’s been pretty consistent. We have him in the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury on Saturday and then he’s also in the Ebor where he has 10 stone. He carried a lot of weight in the Red Sea Turf when he was second there. I’d imagine we would be looking at the Geoffrey Freer on Saturday having been second in plenty of Group 3s. I would so dearly to love him to win one as he’s a horse I ride every day.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 28 starts and currently rated 104. Gained his first success since joining the stable when beating Great Acclaim a length in landing the Victoria Cup at Ascot (7f) in May for a second time off the same mark of 99. Finished sixth, beaten three and three quarter lengths, to Mezcala in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f) in June off his current mark.

Trainer says

He won the Victoria Cup nicely and then with plenty of credit at Royal Ascot. He is a horse that just wants probably good ground to be seen to best effect on a straight seven furlongs. He’s not getting any younger and he carries a few niggles so we will just look after him and see where we go with him. There is a seven-furlong handicap at Ascot on September 5 otherwise we might look at the Listed race at Newbury on September 18.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 6 starts and currently rated 79. Off the mark in a Fillies’ Handicap at Redcar (1m 2f) in May when scoring by a length from Fanciulla Del West off a mark of 69 and failed by only a neck behind Spirit Of Athene in a similar event at Sandown in July off a mark of 75.

Trainer says

She ran very well at Sandown giving 10lb to the winner last time but, unfortunately, the handicapper put her up 4lb for that effort which is a bit unfair. She is in good form and could go to Goodwood on August 28 and I would hope she would stay a mile and a half well. She’s a daughter of Zarak whose progeny tends to do better with time and I she can be even better as a four-year-old.

Form profile

Finished runner-up, beaten four and three quarter lengths, to Sunshine Star on her second star at Lingfield (1m 2f) in June.

Trainer says

She runs at Kempton on Wednesday and she was a good second last time out. She is one for next year really but she’s a nice fit filly, who I hope can progress well and stay nicely.

Form profile

Placed in her 5 starts and currently rated 72. Finished third, beaten three quarters of a length, to Miss Gallant in a novice fillies’ at Southwell (7f) in July.

Trainer says

She’s in at Newmarket on Saturday and I hope that a mile on the turf will suit her well. I hope we can see her run a very encouraging race there. She’s been very consistent but unfortunately hasn’t got her head in front just yet. On her homework, I hope she’s able to achieve that quite soon.

Form profile

Has finished third in 4 starts and currently rated 80. Finished fourth, beaten four lengths, to Epictetus in an amateur riders’ handicap at Sandown (1m 2f) this month off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

He ran a really encouraging race on his handicap debut and I think you will see him to much better effect when he can get his toe in. I think he’ll stay a mile and a half, and I hope he can continue to progress.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 5 starts and currently rated 79. Finished runner-up, beaten a length and a half, to Killavia in a fillies’ handicap at Ascot (5f) in July off her current mark.

Trainer says

She looks likely to be going to Newmarket on August 21. I think ideally a stiff five is her best trip but there aren’t many options over five furlongs. I hope that, ridden with restraint, an easy six furlongs at Newmarket will suit her well.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 4 starts and currently rated 80. Finished eighth, beaten seven and a quarter lengths, to Into The Light in a handicap at Goodwood (1m 3f) in July off a mark of 82.

Trainer says

He’s a lovely big horse and he slightly disappointed us last time at Goodwood but it was a very messy race, and he got a couple of bumps. We feel on a more conventional track and with a bit more time under his belt he should just improve naturally. There are few options for him early in September.

Form profile

Winner of two of her 5 starts and currently rated 81. Returned to winning form on her latest start at Nottingham (1m 1/2f) in July when beating Distant Shore half a length off a mark of 75.

Trainer says

She won nicely last time out at Nottingham and she’s progressing nicely. There’s a race on Sunday at Pontefract for her, and she could go there.

Form profile

Runner-up in two of his 3 starts and currently rated 75. Better effort on his reappearance at Southwell (1m 4f) in April when beaten a head by Desert Belle.

Trainer says

He ran well in his first two starts in maiden company and disappointed last time out. We are not sure why but he’s another of those horses who wants a bit of cut underfoot. He’ll probably go to Wolverhampton next week.

Form profile

Winner of four of his 12 starts and currently rated 85. Completed a hat trick with a half length success from Wedonttelllies at Newmarket (5f) in July off a mark of 81. Not disgraced when ninth beaten five and a half lengths, to Naana’s Shadow at Goodwood (5f) in July off a mark of 86.

Trainer says

He ran will plenty of credit at Goodwood a couple of weeks ago in what was a very competitive race and he’s been progressive. Maybe a sharp five was a touch sharp for him and he will probably look to go to Sandown on August 29. Hopefully, a stiff five could suit him nicely and he can shape up pretty well in that sort of race next time out.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 3 starts and currently rated 87. Off the mark with a five and a half length success from Le Morbihan in a maiden at Ffos Las (1m 2f) in June and followed up with a neck defeat of Interstate in a novice at Doncaster (1m 2f) in July.

Trainer says

He’s quite a talented horse and he’s a big horse who takes an awful lot of work. We felt he was going to win under a penalty more impressively at Doncaster, but he took a funny stride two furlongs out and lost a bit of momentum and was there to be shot at. It’s not easy to win a novice under a penalty and we feel, riding with restraint, we will see him to better effect. Although he’s off a mark of 87, we could be brave with him and look to stakes company.

Form profile

Winner of two of his 6 starts and currently rated 84. Finished runner-up, beaten four and a quarter lengths, to Ray Mon Dough at Leicester (6f) this month off a mark of 84.

Trainer says

Sea Cookie ran well on Sunday but just ran with the choke out which is very unlike him. He’s not normally that type of horse but he still ran well after a blip at Newmarket. I think he can progress and all being well there’s a race at Newmarket on August 22, which we are going to take a look at.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 5 starts and currently rated 96. Best effort hits term when runner-up, beaten two and three quarter lengths, to Secret Of Life in a listed fillies’ at Sandown (1m) in July.

Trainer says

She ran very well at Sandown in listed company on her penultimate start and disappointed us at Haydock on Saturday but wasn’t really ridden to suit. We don’t think she wants to be going forward so, hopefully, ridden with a bit more restraint and possibly a bit more ease underfoot we will see her to best effect.

Form profile

Made a winning debut at Yarmouth (1m 2f) this month when beating Liberate half a length.

Trainer says

He won nicely on his debut at Yarmouth and he’s coming together nicely. I’d imagine he’ll go to Ripon on August 31 and carry a penalty in a restricted novice there.

Form profile

Scored by half a length from Lady Henshaw on his debut at Pontefract (6f) this month.

Trainer says

He won nicely at Pontefract first time out and I’d imagine he will stay seven furlongs. He came forward for that run and there is plenty of improvement in him. He’s got to carry a penalty now so we will have to pick where we go next.

Form profile

Made an impressive winning debut at Newmarket this month when beating Zephyra three and a half lengths.

Trainer says

He had shaped up nicely in his homework and won impressively on his debut at Newmarket. He is quite a raw type, and he will go into a novice under a penalty to give him more experience. He’s a nice horse who I hope can progress well.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

She might start at Lingfield next Tuesday. She’s been shaping up nicely and is a bit green she should run a nice race. I hope she can take a step forward from there.

Form profile

Winner of one of his 2 starts. Off the mark with a head success from Cilician on his second start in a novice at Newbury (7f) in July.

Trainer says

Fuel The Jet won his Newbury maiden nicely and is working well. We’re not sure how much is to be achieved under a penalty so we can go stakes company. I don’t know which race yet - there have been some of these two-year-old stakes race cutting up so we will keep our options open, but we’d consider the Acomb, the Solario and possibly going over to Deauville. I think we’d like to stay seven furlongs for now, but he’s got a nice pedigree and I think a mile will be within his grasp further down the line.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He’s been shaping up nicely at home and I hope he can run an encouraging race first time out. He’s in at Pontefract on Sunday and he’ll get an entry for Windsor on Monday He should run nicely first time out and then I would hope he would be going up and getting close enough in a maiden.

Form profile

Unraced

Trainer says

He’s a half-brother to Isaac Shelby and he is training well. I really like him but he’s one for into the autumn.

Form profile

Having his third run when finishing third, beaten five lengths, to Harry Knows at Windsor in July and currently rated 69.

Trainer says

He’s a little nursery horse and he’ll go to Wolverhampton next week. I would hope he would go well off his mark.

Form profile

Winner of one of her 2 starts and currently rated 75. Off the mark on her second start at Doncaster (6 1/2f) this month when beating Arenite two lengths.

Trainer says

She won her maiden nicely over six and a half furlongs at Doncaster and we feel she will stay a mile. Being a GBB filly she won a bonus that day and I think it makes sense to try and have a go at another bonus or even a bonus plus for winning over a mile if we can. We have options for her and she’s in at Salisbury on Thursday and Epsom on Friday and I would imagine she goes to one of those races. She looks to have come out of her race well.
