6th 4 (10) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 61y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Useful 5yo who bounced back to best and went down by only a whisker, despite pulling hard, at the York Ebor festival (1m4f) most recently; that form is strong; major player, especially if settling better. |

2nd 3 (11) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Made a winning stable debut from off the pace at Meydan (1m4f, good; acts on soft) in January but has finished no better than mid-division in his four starts since; has edged back to that last winning mark, which he also had when a close third in this race last year. |
8/1 |

6th 4 (11) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Made a winning stable debut at Meydan (12.5f, good) in January, but held in three starts since; ran with credit in one previous go on the AW, but others are more compelling. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Performed respectably in three starts over C&D for Roger Varian and he made a winning stable debut at Meydan (1m4f, good) in January; lesser show at Abu Dhabi followed and he once again raced freely when beaten 17l in the Duke Of Edinburgh over C&D at last month's Royal meeting; hood makes a reappearance, which can be viewed positively. |
9/1 |

11th 8 (22) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Sixth and eighth off lower marks in 1m4f handicaps at the last two Royal Ascots (good to firm) for Roger Varian; won over 1m4f at Meydan in January on debut for new trainer, followed by a lesser show at Abu Dhabi in February; usually a free-going sort, so he's likely to bide his time in rear before trying for a late challenge; most form suggests he won't succeed with it. |
14/1 |
