2nd 4 (12) |
14th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual winner for Roger Varian (7f/1m; AW/good to firm); has slipped to a good mark and he halted the slide in his fortunes with a third at Yarmouth; considered despite an awkward draw. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (7) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Dual winner for Roger Varian (7f/1m; AW/good to firm) and he's now 13lb lower than for the second win; ran his best race since joining this stable when sixth of 18 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft; first-time visor) 18 days ago and has claims if building on that; headgear removed. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Runner-up here (7f, good to firm) in May then went very close at Redcar (1m, good); couldn't get into it after a slow start at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) last time but still ran pretty well and he might not be far away. |
10/1 |
|
5th 6 (10) |
27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Mid-division on both starts here (2024); solid AW campaign has been carried over to turf with seconds at Doncaster (7f) and Redcar (1m) on last two outings, beaten a nose last time, and those put him firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Consistent during the AW season and posted another good effort when second to progressive rival on recent turf return at Doncaster (7f, good to firm); also suited by 1m and probably won't be far away. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Popped up at Southwell (1m) off a 2lb higher mark in January; the odd good run since but he needs to bounce back from a lacklustre AW run last month. |
14/1 |
|
10th 8 (4) |
7th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained his fourth win at his track when coming from off the pace to win by a neck here in January; kept on into fifth behind Avatar Jet over C&D 12 days ago and has each-way claims if this is run to suit. |
16/1 |
|
5th 6 (6) |
25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Four-time course winner, all in the winter months, latterly off this mark in January; usually misses the break and again hung left when behind Marry The Night over C&D last time; a stronger pace would help for last year's winning yard. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Came good at Kempton (1m, AW; first-time tongue-tie) in April 2025, his fifth start, but wasn't seen again until heavy defeat at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) last month; drops back in trip here; tricky to weigh up. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Couple of absences in recent times and he has regressed (well drawn when faring better in a soft-ground handicap last time); goes well here, though, and holds each-way claims. |
12/1 |
|
4th 4 (7) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Both wins came on AW in 2023 when trained by Richard Hughes; has gone into freefall since and was last of 11 at Bath last month. |
12/1 |
|
11th 4 (9) |
4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 11lb |
Well handicapped on last season's best forrm (AW) but he ended the year with a whimper and returns from a 135-day break with an inexperienced amateur booked. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Off the mark in 1m Windsor handicap last May but he's had only three runs since and has struggled in all of them; now back on his winning mark but he flopped when favourite at Leicester in April and needs a major revival after a break. |
14/1 |
