31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Multiple winner, including here; quiet this season but it was the same last campaign before he won on his third outing; handy mark. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Eight-time winner, including twice over C&D; shaped as if retaining ability when eighth of ten at Nottingham (40-1) on return but may need another run to put him spot-on. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (10) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 3 |

Eight-time winner but reappearance record suggests he's probably best watched on this seasonal debut, unless the market speaks positively. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Three-time C&D winner, including twice off higher marks in the month of April; unlucky third, having found daylight too late, in this race 12 months ago; soft ground was against him here last weekend; likely player if the cards drop right. |
10/1 |
|
9th 6 (8) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Below best on latest course start in October but has a strong C&D record otherwise, three wins include this race (good to soft) last year; now 2lb lower and primed for a good run if he avoids trouble in running. |
9/2 |
|
7th 10 (4) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Drawn a blank this year but he has dropped a long way in the weights and is now eligible for Class 6 company for the first time; ran okay over C&D last month and the return of cheekpieces will help; considered. |

5th 11 (8) |
29th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
He's having a mixed season and hasn't looked ready to pounce since a good Ripon run (5f) in July; needs a turnaround but he wasn't far away on his latest C&D start in March and is on a much lower mark now. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Prominent racer; well handicapped on his 2024 form but he was only seen twice last year and finished down the field on both occasions; enough to prove back from a break. |
8/1 |
|
10th 3 (11) |
28th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Beaten 1l into fourth in this race 12 months ago (off this mark); absent until finishing down the field at York last week; due to be 3lb lower in the future and he needs to have come on a good deal in a short space of time. |
20/1 |
|
16th 5 (12) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
A wind operation in October 2023 proved successful and he had some smart sprint form last year, notably a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; made all); ran well off this mark at Southwell when last seen 356 days ago; upset in the stalls and withdrawn at Goodwood in May; this is a tough race in which to make his return. |

30th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Has been a superb servant, winning 16 of his 99 starts, including three this year; comfortable scorer at Haydock (6f, good to firm) latest, for which he has gone up 6lb; has won over C&D and looks a player again. |
2/1 |
|
1st 5 (5) |
25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
The winner of two of his six starts this year, both over 6f at Southwell; he could only manage fourth of the nine runners back at Southwell 20 days ago and he will need to raise his game to defy this mark. |
6/1 |
|
4th 1 (3) |
5th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Made it 4-15 under Connor Planas when gaining his second C&D success ten days ago; did it comfortably enough and despite a 5lb higher mark, is a major player if in the same form; stable also runs Melissa Honey. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Ended a 15-race losing run when scoring by a head over C&D last month; only midfield under his penalty at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) next time, but each-way claims back here. |

7th 10 (1) |
2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 18y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
First win for 11 months when leading towards the finish at Southwell (5f, AW) 11 days ago; carries a 5lb penalty and has yet to win back to back in his 43-race career. |
10/1 |
|
13 (14) |
21st Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 4f 214y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Did well on AW in late 2024, including a Newcastle win and two runner-up finishes over C&D; 0-12 in 2025 but has dropped a long way in the weights and returns to AW off a 13lb lower mark than when sixth in a C&D Class 4 in April; considered. |

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 |
|
5th 9 (1) |
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. |

22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Kickstarted 2024 with 6f Southwell success and he's continued in good form, a close sixth of 12 at Doncaster (5f) three weeks ago; can go well. |
8/1 |
|
6th 11 (5) |
1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Dual 6f winner at Southwell (AW); good second dropped to 5f at Carlisle (good to firm) most recently, meeting traffic then keeping on well once in the clear; unexposed at this distance and warrants respect off unaltered mark. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 1 (2) |
20th May 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Both wins over 6f on Tapeta at Southwell; led until folding in the final 1f at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) most recently, suggesting this drop in distance is worth a shot. |
