3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back. |
9/1 |

9th 4 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
He has returned from a six-month break in rude health, winning at Wolverhampton and over C&D (second C&D success) last month and running well in his hat-trick bid at Ripon a fortnight ago; wide draw not ideal for a front-runner but he isn't handicapped out of things; trainer also runs Jojo Rabbit. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (4) |
8th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on last year's C&D form for Karl Burke but refused to race in April on final outing for that yard and down the field over C&D on recent stable debut, when again awkward at the start; risks attached. |
33/1 |
|
14th 6 (6) |
11th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Beaten 16 times since his C&D win in September 2023; has often run well in defeat, including here, but he put a major black mark on his record at Nottingham in April, belatedly leaving the stalls but downing tools and bucking around immediately afterwards; the combination of a subsequent stable switch/wind surgery/change of headgear could all be beneficial and there's no doubt he has the ability to win a race like this; risky but feared. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Beaten on his last 20 starts going back to June 2023 but he's shown promise in fifth this spring on his first two starts for this yard, most recently behind a couple of these in a big field at York (6f, good); he continues to edge down the weights and might not be far away. |
10/1 |
|
5th 14 (1) |
13th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Beaten on his last 19 starts going back to June 2023 but, following a wind op, he was an encouraging fifth off his reduced mark behind Strike Red on last month's stable and seasonal debut at Leicester (6f, good to firm), where he was short of room late on; could build on that with a big run today. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Two 5f wins for Roger Varian but latest was in June 2023 and he was quiet last season; returns for new yard after wind surgery but he has a mixed record when fresh and this is highly competitive; down the list. |

Showed improvement to dead-heat for first in a Hamilton novice (5f, good to soft) in September; failed to back that up when a well-held fourth in 5.5f York nursery (good to soft) last month; others hold stronger claims. |

28th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 89y Class 4 |

On a handy mark judged on AW form towards end of last year but hasn't performed at the same level this season and needs to raise her game. |

20th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Her best efforts have come on AW but she's effective on fast turf; low-key run at York on Saturday; others appeal more for win purposes. |

17th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Pretty useful sprint 2yo last year but hasn't posed a serious threat in three handicap starts over 6f/7f this term, the latest at Newbury only ten days ago; the sole 3yo in the line-up; others more obvious. |

Has gone 0-19 since a winning debut at two; the visor worked well when initially tried last summer (twice placed) and now that aid returns; has possibilities. |

17th Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't won since his debut at Doncaster in May 2022 (5f, good to firm); good third in first-time visor over same C&D last June (good) but not run quite as well since, including with cheekpieces back on last time; on a fair mark, but soft ground not ideal. |

Mainly consistent form this term, winning at Pontefract in June (5f, good to firm) and finishing in the places twice since; best on fast ground; each-way chance. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Has won once in each of the last four seasons, at Pontefract in June this time round; three creditable placings from his other four starts this summer, so he's still a contender. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 42y Class 5 |

Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here. |

Landed novices at Hamilton and Ripon (both 5f, good) in the summer, but although not disgraced in a couple of nurseries in the meantime he hasn't really taken a step forward; others preferred. |
