13th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins in 2023, at 1m1f and about 1m2f, but this C&D seemed to just catch her out in May; two good efforts at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) and Pontefract (1m, good) of late but she may need an easier test than this now and would have preferred some rain. |

Record of 0-5 for new stable but shapes as if this belated drop back to 1m is worth exploring; very well handicapped on best form. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 1lb |
Dual winner for Roger Varian for 2023, including when pulling clear here over 1m3f; was returning from a huge absence when beating only one rival home here in a race won by The Green Mile in June and needs to leave that well behind. |

29th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 4 |

Won impressively over C&D for Roger Varian in September 2023 but not seen since; returns for his new yard off an 8lb higher mark and best watched after such a mammoth absence, unless the market suggests otherwise. |

Showed marked improvement to come good at the fifth attempt in a Newcastle handicap (1m2f, AW) last month; bettered that when going close at York (10.5f, good) recently; up another 2lb and should again be thereabouts. |

Ran well for a long way when third of seven on latest hurdling start, at Doncaster (2m, soft) in February, and will be fine on the faster ground here but recent Flat form has been underwhelming; others appeal more. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 197y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
His last win was in July 2022 but he returned to the Flat for new yard with a front-running third at Pontefract (1m2f, good; tongue-tie added) two weeks ago; that was an encouraging effort after a break and he has possibilities if he can build on that. |

3rd 4 (4) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won in France in 2020 and scored over C&D in 2022 but has developed a rocky profile and was in poor form when last seen over hurdles in the autumn; has joined Martin Keighley (same owners) but watching brief advised on this comeback in a tongue-tie. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
10st 10lb |
4-10 at Redcar but latest win was July 2025 and he's not been seen to anything like such good effect since, including three times here; latest start (mid-division in large field over 1m) was first visit here this term and he now moves back up in trip, having won four times over 1m2f during 2022 and 2023. |

Four of his six wins have been at Redcar including over C&D last July; now 7lb lower than for that success, but he's lost his way since then and has been well held in both runs this season; needs a big turnaround. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won a division of this race last year; back to form with a bang to easily take advantage of a much-reduced mark at Carlisle (1m1f, good) in August; two poor efforts have followed but no surprise to see him bounce back with the Tim Easterby team in great form. |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
11yo having his 116th career start; very much had the run of things when scoring by 4l at Carlisle (1m1f, good) and ran a shocker next time; opposable on the balance of this year's exploits. |

8th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Took advantage of an easing mark at Carlisle (1m1f amateurs', good) recently; had the run of the race there - runner-up was subject to a running-and-riding inquiry - so will need to find slightly more from this 7lb higher mark; Jake Dickson takes off a useful 3lb. |

Hampered early last time, but unlikely judged on this year's struggles for both her former and current handlers that this would have cost her significantly better; cheekpieces hurriedly replace the visor. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Landed a pair of 1m2f handicaps at Pontefract in June; not disgraced both runs since, coming in a close sixth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) 13 days ago; this C&D winner is not out of things in a refitted tongue-strap. |

7th 3 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't win often but is down to a career-low mark and is used to doing his racing in better company; has often run well here without winning and showed more back on Tapeta last time, so there are positives on the return from a short break. |
