18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 21y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
14-1 winner on Lingfield debut (6f, AW) for Roger Varian last June; beaten around 4l in two subsequent runs, including on stable debut in March, but it's still early days and he looks on a workable mark in his first handicap; needs watching in market on this drop in trip. |
8/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 110y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Two solid efforts for Roger Varian last summer, winning a 6f maiden at Lingfield (AW) on debut before finishing third under a penalty at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); not so good on his stable debut at Lingfield last month (after nine months off) but he looks to be on a fair mark for his handicap debut. |
5/1 |

5th 1 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Brother to 6f Group 3 winner Cold Case; won at 14-1 on C&D debut last June and he ran into a smart prospect when an odds-on third at Doncaster three weeks later; left Roger Varian for 20,000gns since; returns after a lengthy absence but he should have more to offer this year and he's respected back at this track. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
13-race maiden who can miss the break and he returned after wind surgery with a laboured effort over C&D (17-2) two weeks ago; finished behind three of today's rivals in that race and he needs to leave that form behind. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (7) |
4th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
In the frame in all four starts on the AW, but yet to win after 12 attempts; returns from 191 days off having undergone wind surgery and he may be best watched despite having run well fresh in the past. |
10/1 |

9 (15) |
25th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
0-11 but runner-up in first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ascot (7f, soft) last month and did well to finish sixth of 17 there (7f, good to soft) last time having been slowly away; wears first-time blinkers and could have a big part to play. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
190,000gns half-brother to four winners; looked inexperienced when 11-2 at Kempton (6f, AW) in April but he made some late headway to finish third; that was a promising start behind some useful prospects and he should know much more this time; interesting contender. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Landed his fourth AW race when scoring narrowly at Kempton (6f) in March; has dipped below that winning mark after three lesser efforts and blinkers go on for his eighth race on turf (0-7). |
7/1 |

10th 4 (5) |
4th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Has broadly done well on AW since December, winning four times; needs to prove he can transfer the pick of that form back to turf; 0-6 in this sphere and is 5lb higher than last attempt. |

Big prices and was beaten around 6l at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last month and over C&D two weeks ago; has ability but he's probably one for handicaps after this. |

50-1 and was never involved after a slow start on his Windsor debut (6f, good to firm) last month; should know more this time but he needs major improvement. |

22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Ten-race maiden who can take a strong hold but he finished well when runner-up over C&D (heavy) last autumn; returns after five months but he's handicapped on his best form and has had only three runs for current yard; needs a close look with hood added. |
5/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
0-7 for Peter Crate but he reached the frame in three handicaps including when a close fourth at Lingfield (6f, AW) last month; still has bit to prove on slow ground but he needs watching in market on stable debut; yard also runs Bated Breeze. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well backed when firmly on top in a 6f classified event at Chelmsford (AW) in February but that's the only time he's not been well held; usual accessories were left off that day, as they were in a handicap in March on his only start since; form case depends on that one run and this is turf debut. |
16/1 |
|
9th 5 (10) |
11th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Unplaced in his first eight starts but he was well backed prior to recording an easy win in a 6f classified event at Chelmsford 13 days ago (usual accessories left off); faces a stiffer task back in a handicap but Donagh Murphy takes off 7lb and he was quite impressive at Chelmsford. |

6th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Best form for Andrew Balding came on turf, including wins at Brighton (6f, good to firm) and Epsom (7f, good to soft) last year; makes stable debut after 190 days off having changed hands for 50,000gns in October; market informative. |

28th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Recorded a game success in Brighton maiden (6f) in June; neck second, clear of remainder, upped to 7f at Chester (good) most recently; this 3yo filly may do better still and is one to consider. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third of ten on turf here (1m1f, good) last summer is way in excess of her other efforts, especially her four on Polytrack; new headgear combination given a go, but still hard to fancy. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Related to a few useful winners, including on Tapeta; not much has gone right since a Polytrack win over 1m in the winter and better can be expected at this lower level and back up in distance, so is one to consider. |
8/1 |

7th 4 (4) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

1m winner here in the winter off 2lb lower who's struggled badly in three runs since (possible excuses for two of them); stable form could be better and he has to bounce back. |
10/1 |

22th 5 (3) |
29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Got off the mark with a game effort in a 1m handicap at Kempton in December; two bitterly disappointing runs have followed and he now has plenty to prove. |
