12th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Can lead; multiple AW wins at 7f and 1m but he's 0-14 on turf and it's a long time since he's been any threat on grass; up against it in only his fifth turf start in the last two years. |

7th 7 (13) |
6th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Five-time C&D winner who's not well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end; resumed in good form, with two solid efforts over 1m, but has never won off a mark this high and isn't improving at his age. |
12/1 |

Five-time Kempton winner who boasts a consistent record round here too; solid comeback from over three months off over C&D last month and is well drawn for one happiest on the sharp end but has never won off a mark this high. |

On a losing run but she was in form at a low level earlier in the year, including when third over C&D 119 days ago; cheekpieces now given a go; chance. |

3rd 8 (10) |

Won handicaps at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) and Kempton (7f, Polytrack) in 2024; has made the frame in both starts since dropped to this level and is frame material again, provided her stamina holds out. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
No win since October 2024 (Newcastle); weakened quickly on turf return at Doncaster (7f) three weeks ago; the only real glimpse of life this year was when a never-nearer fourth at Southwell (5f; 25-1) in February; stablemate of East Tyrone. |
33/1 |

8th 1 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner but he's generally struggled this year and was beaten 10l at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month; continues to drop down the weights but he has plenty to prove and is 0-11 on turf. |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Justified favouritism in a C&D handicap in April off 5lb lower; beaten a nose at Lingfield later that month and then met trouble in running at Ripon last week; should remain competitive. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (2) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
5yo who was in top form on AW in the spring, with a win at Kempton (1m) being sandwiched by two seconds; showed some promise in May 2024 when he last raced on turf; key player if transferring good form back to grass. |
7/1 |

Dual winner for Roger Varian (7f/1m; AW/good to firm); has slipped to a good mark and he halted the slide in his fortunes with a third at Yarmouth; considered despite an awkward draw. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |

Dual winner for Roger Varian (7f/1m; AW/good to firm) and he's now 13lb lower than for the second win; ran his best race since joining this stable when sixth of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft; first-time visor) 18 days ago and has claims if building on that; headgear removed. |

Dry since a C&D win in 2023 and has looked on the downgrade in recent times; goes back to cheekpieces from blinkers, minus the tongue-tie again, after four months off; outsider. |

10th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Steady progression in handicaps this year but he's had plenty of racing now and the handicapper knows where he is; no obvious reason he won't go well again for his in-form yard but is vulnerable to improvers. |

9st 2lb |
6-31 on AW, four of those wins gained over C&D and the most recent a ready success from a 1lb lower mark last December; failed to settle on outer when only eighth of 12 (Jersey Maverick sixth, State of Madness ninth) at Kempton three weeks ago; others arrive in better form. |
10/1 |

8th 2 (12) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Best known for his Southwell exploits, but has run well here including a win over this trip; the outside stall is not ideal, though. |
10/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Last four wins have been gained over C&D at Class 5 or lower, and tonight's would be the highest banded handicap he has taken in to date; drop back from 1m rates a plus, but clear career best likely required. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away. |
6/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
23rd Jun 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Multiple winner who made all at Salisbury last month (6f, good) and was ridden differently when never involved at Catterick; had no penalty last time and now 5lb higher, but if returned to positive tactics the ground won't be an excuse. |
8/1 |
|
7th 6 (7) |
21st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
7-43; took full advantage of an easing mark to gain his third Salisbury win when making all (6f apprentices', good) last week; escapes a penalty, and Jake Dickson is able to claim his 7lb allowance, so his chance is an obvious one; clearly the one to beat if in the same kind of form. |

C&D winner who made it 3-8 on AW when scoring over 7f here (cheekpieces added) in October; still looks feasibly treated on that form and she had an excuse when dropped to 6f from tough draw here last time; dangerous back up in trip. |

Fourth of 14 on second start for this yard at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in October suggested the ability remained, but losing run up to 18 despite a sliding mark; not sure a return to sprinting is the answer. |

All five wins have been over 7f on AW but latest was 11 months ago; on dangerous mark but he ended last year on a low note and was tailed off on his hurdling debut last month; has rejoined Darryll Holland since that last run but he has some questions to answer; blinkers reapplied. |

16th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Made it an amazing seven wins for the year, all from the front, over C&D on Friday; subsequent 1lb rise and 4lb penalty sees him still just below his highest successful mark and there's every chance he can complete a two-month eight-timer. |
7/4 |

1st 1 (2) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
He was recording his 11th course win when making all in a Class 5 over C&D ten days ago, completing a six-timer in the process; 1lb well in under his penalty, well drawn and dropping in grade, so a seven-timer is beckoning. |
