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. |

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. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Won six 5f handicaps here in 2025; only 1lb higher than for the latest of them but he is rarely seen over 6f and connections now turn to a tongue tie for the first time. |
7/1 |
|
5th 3 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Boasts a fine record over 5f here, winning in December and reaching the frame on all three outings this year; 6f AW winner for previous stable but has raced almost exclusively at the minimum trip for Nigel Tinkler; should be on the premises if still fully effective at 6f. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
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 |
9st 7lb |
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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Only sixth and ninth this year, but he caught the eye on his reappearance and blew the start next time; now 7lb lower than when winning over C&D (good ground) last summer; likely to be doing his best work late on and a leading contender if getting the breaks. |
25/1 |
|
9th 6 (3) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best, including a York win off 4lb higher (5f, good); only midfield at Beverley on his reappearance 17 days ago (5f, good to soft) but the ground would have been slower than ideal and he travelled strongly before plugging on past a few tiring rivals in the final furlong; better expected back on a quicker surface. |

All wins at 5f and he was only tenth over C&D recently, finishing behind One Of Our Own and Mister Sky Blue. |

10th 1 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 217y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All wins at 5f but he has run well over C&D; yet to shine in 2026 but dropping into 0-55 company will help; not ruled out. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Eleven-time winner including at Listed level; ran well on seasonal reappearance in the Listed Beverley Bullet but has failed to land a blow the last twice; 3-16 on the AW but could only manage sixth when 5-1 for this last year; needs to rediscover best. |
15/2 |
|
12th 3 (11) |
19th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Made all in this last year (good) and encouraging Listed third at Beverley (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago on her belated reappearance; won on soft ground at the start of her career; her usual visor returns (left off last time) and she has leading claims if building on her comeback run. |
4/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Had a busy 2024 and notched six wins, the last of them in 5.5f Listed race at Ayr; would have real possibilities if repeating that form, although she'll need to hit the ground running after over ten months off. |

30th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Last season ended with two disappointing runs and there was no return to form on his recent reappearance; however, he may have needed that latest outing and this two-time C&D winner is back down to last September's last winning mark; not written off. |
14/1 |

8th 9 (4) |
13th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Made all in a first-time visor over C&D last September; ended 2025 quietly and although he is only 1lb higher than for his win, he returns from a break with a point to prove. |

21st Dec 2024 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Promising return to action at Beverley in April but below par at York's Dante meeting in May (final start for Nigel Tinkler) and not seen again until seventh to Alfa Whiteburd (True Promise third) over C&D 12 days ago, fading as if the run was needed. |
