3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo for Ed Walker, reeling off a four-timer before running well in an Ascot Group 3 last October; didn't fire in Qatar earlier this year but he won well at Saint-Cloud in May (6f, soft) and turned in another fine handicap effort when second of 25 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm), making his challenge on the opposite side of the track to the winner; 3lb higher and this sharper track is not sure to play to his strengths. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Found his trip when back at 6f in the second half of 2023, indifferent to the state of the ground when winning all four handicaps, including over C&D on good to firm; has left Ed Walker since but was at least as good as ever when winning a 6f conditions race at Saint-Cloud (soft) in May; has cards to play back here. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Acts on any ground; progressive 3yo who has completed a handicap four-timer since being dropped back to 6f and gained the last two wins at this venue; overall record is now 6-13; brings a very attractive profile to this first Group attempt and being 2-2 at Ascot is a bonus. |

Sole win came in Bath novice (5f, good to firm) last summer; wasn't beaten far when sixth of 21 in the big 3yo handicap at York (6f, good to firm) in June, but he ran poorly at Newmarket next time and needs to bounce back after two months off. |

23rd Sep 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Finally off the mark in a weak maiden at Bath last month and it wasn't his first good effort in handicap company when a close third at Ascot (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; was ridden more patiently than usual on that occasion; thereabouts. |
5/1 |

3rd 11 (13) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Goes well with positive tactics and got off the mark after a gelding operation by making all in maiden at Bath (5.7f, good to soft; handles good to firm) last month; could be unexposed as a sprinter (campaigned at 7f/1m earlier in career) and he needs serious consideration back in a handicap. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |
40/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Has become unreliable but is well treated on his standout performance of 2025, namely a comfortable win off 1lb higher at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) in June; scored over 7f in 2023. |

Easy win at Doncaster in June (6f, good to firm) but generally struggled since; even if he's back in top form he could do with the ground drying out. |

17th Sep 2023 Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
All turf starts 6f on good to firm; successful twice at Windsor (novice/handicap) this summer; latest effort suggests she's ready for a crack at 7f (pedigree backs that up); remains open to further improvement; shortlisted. |
4/1 |

5th 12 (12) |
9th Sep 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Bred to be smart (by Dubawi; dam won Albany over this C&D) and she has improved with every run, never far away when beating 11 rivals on handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago; almost certainly open to further progress and could be the one to beat towards the foot of the weights. |

1st 5 (9) |
26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Won her novice over C&D (good to firm) and was conceding a penalty to the runner-up when unable to confirm those placings on her return visit; 55 days off but an interesting handicap debutante. |

Has won just once since April 2024, at Sandown (5f, good; from 6lb higher) last July; joined this trainer soon after for 15,000gns, and runner-up on stable debut; nowhere near his best in three starts this year, including when twelfth of 20 at York (6f; 50-1) latest. |

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. |
12/1 |

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. |

6th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |

Won on reappearance at Yarmouth in April and now 4lb lower; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 0m 5f 34y Class 3 |

Below par since his 5f Yarmouth reappearance success in April but has dipped to 2lb below that winning mark; dangerous if staging a revival. |

26th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

All wins at 5f, one of them here at last year's Dante meeting, and he's on the same mark as when making a successful return at Yarmouth in April (5f, good to firm); best produced late off a strong pace at 5f though and his 6f form is unconvincing. |

9st 11lb |
Won the Listed Golden Rose at Lingfield in November 2023 and landed a valuable 6f Class 2 handicap here (off 106) the following summer; has finally slipped back down the weights, giving notice of a return to form (third) in an added visor at Lingfield (7f) 51 days ago; respected. |

Good runs few and far between since August 2024; should be well handicapped but that has been the case for a while and he hasn't shown much this year; now tried in a visor; stable also run Heathcliff. |

9th 1 (2) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Not the force of old but he ran well when third in a hot Newcastle handicap last May (6f; RPR 108) and he races off a 7lb lower mark today; neither subsequent run has been comparable but this is a drop in grade and he can't be ruled out. |
