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. |

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. |

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 Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well beaten on his last two starts, over C&D (soft) most recently, but he has a good record here and he won at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) three starts ago; also effective on slow ground; not discounted. |
11/1 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Plenty of good efforts since the blinkers went on, including an all-the-way win over C&D (good to firm; acts on soft) in June; also made all over 1m1f at Musselburgh towards the end of August and it may be worth forgiving a lesser effort at Carlisle last week after a slowish start meant he was unable to take up his usual front-running role (also pulled too hard); C&D form figures of 23122 earn him a place on the shortlist. |

He was gaining his second win of the summer when making all in a 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 16 days ago; up 3lb but won't mind what the weather does and he'll be fine back at 7f; high on the list. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Popped up over C&D (good) when beating Reginald Charles in June but after a subsequent run of placings he appears to have gone off the boil; did show a bit more on AW three weeks ago, however, and he's dipped below that winning mark; might go well at attractive odds. |

25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

9th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time winner whose last success came over this C&D (good; possibly flattered by racing in a small breakaway group) in June; only 2lb higher but he stopped abruptly over a mile last time; may do better back at 7f. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

Lost out only by a nose off today's mark over C&D (good to soft) in May and returned from break with pretty good fourth at Ayr (1m, soft) last month; features prominently in calculations. |

10st 9lb |
Out of form on the Flat in recent weeks; not beaten far when fifth of eight on handicap hurdle debut at Kelso (2m2f, good to firm) eight days ago and remains unexposed over jumps but overall profile is not persuasive. |

Returned to form with a close second in an amateur jockeys' handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last month but she's been back in the doldrums since; has plenty to prove again and her sole Flat win was in 2024. |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |

Probably ran into one when beaten 12l into second of six in a novice over C&D last month, but made no mistake on handicap debut back here 19 days ago, coming home 4l clear; 9lb higher but probably has plenty more to offer. |

Generally disappointing this year but kept on for second off career-low mark at Beverley (8.4f, good) last month; sure to be suited both the return to Tapeta and move back up in trip today; high on the list. |

Began his career with back-to-back Newcastle wins (7f, AW) but has never been able to hit similar heights in handicaps; handy mark if back on song but recent efforts offer little hope and this trip looks too sharp now. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |

Course scorer but it's now 17 starts since his last success; tried in blinkers when a below-par fifth of six in 1m2f Leicester handicap 24 days ago; more is needed in a refitted visor. |
