7th 3 (13) |
5th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Scored over C&D (good) in first-time cheekpieces in June; didn't fire on latest outing but was placed twice over 1m2f beforehand and looks interesting now back at this track and with the cheekpieces back on. |
8/1 |

14th 8 (10) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Three wins include one at this track over 1m and in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m) in June; solid efforts on his last couple of outings, the penultimate when runner-up over this C&D, and once again has each-way claims, although ground slower than good would pose a question mark. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 (4) |
3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had cheekpieces on for the first time when winning over 1m at Pontefract in June and went close at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) next time; bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when runner-up there over 1m2f last time and may have a bit more to offer at this trip. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-7; fifth of eight at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) earlier in the month but he was 12l behind Hashtagnotions at Beverley (8.5f, soft) 13 days ago; steps up in trip (out of a French 1m2f winner) on this return to AW. |

5 (5) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dam won over 1m2f and he fared better for tackling this longer trip, in first-time cheekpieces, a fortnight ago; still to finish placed and will need another forward step if he's to get off the mark though. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 3yo whose dam won over 1m2f and he's going beyond 7f for the first time today; cheekpieces are another possible source of improvement but he needs to take a major step forward from his two handicap runs. |

22nd Sep 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
He's 8lb lower than when a close third on his reappearance at Pontefract in June but has been disappointing since; soundly beaten (hampered at start) on AW debut at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) on Saturday. |
6/1 |
|
6th 4 (8) |
19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
All ten runs have been on turf and both wins were in maiden/novice events at Ripon last summer; reappeared with a good third at Pontefract (5f, good) in June but he's been disappointing since and was beaten 8l at Ripon last time; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (4) |
1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A dual winner here (including over C&D) in 2025; has failed to go on this season though and tongue-tie goes on after a below-par fifth of seven in 5f Nottingham handicap three weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Built on his stable debut when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) in June and followed up next time over that same C&D, taking his record in headgear to 3-3 (won in first-time blinkers for Roger Varian); 3lb higher but respected on his return to the AW. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Blinkers did the trick when winning a Tapeta handicap for Roger Varian last autumn and he made it 2-2 in headgear off 3lb lower over C&D (good to soft; cheekpieces) early in the month; been taken out on account of good to firm going before; player otherwise. |
9/4 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off for Roger Varian with a victory at Newcastle (1m AW) in first-time blinkers; shaped okay on yard debut when in no headgear at Kempton (1m) and could be a factor now tried in cheekpieces. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |

Well held in 7f Thirsk handicap this month on his first start for Ewan Whillans, taking his record to 0-23. |
25/1 |

10th 11 (13) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

Big price and didn't show much on debut at Newcastle last month; considerably more needed down in trip and switched to turf. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Placed at Newmarket in her only previous handicap start at 5f and was hampered early next time; only sixth when favourite at Yarmouth 17 days ago but that was again over 6f and perhaps 5f suits best. |
9/2 |
|
10 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unexposed after just five starts and she made a good fist of her second handicap when dropped down to 5f and running on for third at Newmarket (good to firm) last month; interesting back at 6f on AW debut. |
7/2 |
|
9 (1) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
By Cracksman out of a 1m winner so not an obvious candidate for 5f; that said, she has shown some speed in her races, including over 7f on her handicap debut here two weeks ago; others still more appealing. |
