15th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Disappointed over 1m on penultimate start but otherwise it's been a solid campaign at 7f, including wins in May/June; acts on Polytrack; concern is that handicapper has caught up with her. |
7/1 |

5th 9 (5) |
14th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Looked promising when winning C&D novice in May and again back in a handicap at Doncaster in June; progress has rather stalled since but the return to 7f can suit and she may yet do better on Polytrack. |

23rd Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Much better for tackling this sort of ground for the first time when springing a surprise at Yarmouth last Monday; experienced Alex Jary's 5lb claim goes some way towards clawing back the penalty. |

1st 7 (1) |
16th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A fair 1m4f maiden for Roger Varian but she's yet to show that form for her current yard, coming in last of 11 at Wolverhampton (1m4f) 23 days ago; needs to get back on track. |

18th Oct 2023 Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
12-race maiden but she went close behind Apache Star over C&D (good to soft) in August and had another near-miss at Chelmsford (6f, AW) last Thursday; on same mark here and she should be in the thick of things again; cheekpieces added. |

Fair Flat racer who displayed improvement over hurdles when third under positive ride in recent Worcester maiden (2m, good); sports refitted cheekpieces for this handicap debut and could still have more to offer. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 |
21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Winning miler on the Flat for James Fanshawe at Class 5 level; it's been a very quiet start over hurdles. |

8st 10lb |
Didn't achieve much for Tom Ward (6f-1m) and has finished well held in two runs for this yard (also saddle We're Reunited); the hood comes off (has often pulled hard) and she only has daylight on her outside from stall 12. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Kept on for good Listed fourth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Sandown (1m, good) in July and a case can be made on that form, now back up in trip in her first handicap; however, she's been inconsistent this year and was well beaten in a Listed race at Haydock (1m, good to soft) last time. |
20/1 |

10th 11 (7) |
12th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 37y Class 1 |
8st 11lb |
Career started with two wins (AW/good); just about her best run since when fourth in a 1m Sandown Listed race in first-time cheekpieces (retained) five weeks ago but reopposing pair Stenton Glider and Bridestones were ahead of her. |
16/1 |

4th 5 (4) |
8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Career started with two wins (AW/good); limitations were seemingly exposed in three Group races and two Listed events, albeit with the step up from 7f to 1m2f appearing to stretch her last time; has first go at 1m and her first headgear. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Added to her Tapeta win when scoring at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last September but she's lost her way since including with two heavy defeats this season; now back on last winning but she needs a major revival on this return to AW; reapplied blinkers replace a hood. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (2) |
16th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last September off 2lb lower mark; well held on return from 205-day break in race won by Taritino at Chepstow (1m4f, good to soft) last month; best watched. |

Flat wins in 2022 and 2023; has had only four races over hurdles but soundly beaten in two soft-ground handicaps when last seen early in 2024. |

Verdict
Roger Varian’s Bush Rose is out of a French Listed-placed 1m 2yo winner and she needs a close look in the market, while another interesting newcomer is Crystallium, who represents a yard with a record of 6-14 with juveniles this season. However, the vote goes to STORYINTHESAND, who sets a fair standard on her eyecatching third over 6f here in June and looks a likely improver upped in trip on her second start.[David Moon]
