21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
No ground worries but his career highlights (1m4f/1m6f) were in 2024, including a win in this race; 6lb lower today but that's after a rather muted 2025 when still with Roger Varian and his form went badly the wrong way in three runs this January-April for new connections; tongue-tie and/or cheekpieces, both fitted for the first time, need to work the oracle. |
20/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Career highlights (1m4f/1m6f) for Roger Varian were in 2024 and he managed only mid-division in his three handicaps (at top meetings) last July-September; rather worse in both runs (his first races on AW) for new connections early this year but he returns to turf 8lb below his career-high mark. |
28/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
On same mark as for his win at York (1m4f, good) in August 2024 but he's not seen much action since and has been well held in last four starts; may have needed the run on his stable/AW debut at Kempton (28-1) last month but others are more persuasive. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A three-time hurdles winner (around 2m) for Jamie Snowden but signed off for him with a below-par fifth in 2m6f Cartmel handicap 14 months ago; needs to hit the ground running for his new handler. |
20/1 |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Rewarded determined ride when keeping on strongly from poor position to lead on the post at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; visored) in February but again raced lazily at Stratford (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in March, where he was beaten before final-flight fall; worth a go over this longer trip but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task; visor refitted. |

Maiden/novice wins during the summer of 2024; mostly disappointing since then, fell at Thurles when last seen in January; makes stable debut. |

8th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 140y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Has something to prove having finished tailed off in Kempton novice (1m4f, AW) last month; however, she made an encouraging debut over this C&D (good to firm) in June before winning at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) in July, and this very lightly raced 400,000gns yearling retains potential. |
11/1 |

7th 1 (3) |
9th Aug 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Last of four finishers on her Haydock debut (11.6f, good to firm) in June, but showed ability and built on it when making all to beat Let Life Happen by a length at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) last month; 7lb worse off with that rival, but she remains open to further progress and two of the last four winners of this had been successful before. |
5/1 |

1st 3 (5) |
8th Jul 2023 Good 1m 3f 39y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Last of the four finishers in a Haydock fillies' novice over a similar trip last month but that looked a good race and she showed clear signs of ability; should fare better today. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Regressive 6yo who is now 0-6 since joining this yard; others look more likely. |
8/1 |

4th 2 (4) |
12th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Regressive 6yo who managed only third of four over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and is now 0-5 for his new stable this year; cheekpieces (no obvious effect when used twice last season) are given another whirl; revival needed. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
On a good mark and knows how to win; however, three of his four runs since a break have been underwhelming. |
