15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Gained a first win of 2026 at Pontefract (1m) in June but he beat only one in 1m Redcar handicap a week ago; much more is required from this course scorer. |

13th 7 (13) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Clearcut winner in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good) in June and probably bettered that form when very close second at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) last month but was below form after racing too freely over C&D three weeks ago and needs to bounce back with a career best. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-7; fifth of eight at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) earlier in the month but he was 12l behind Hashtagnotions at Beverley (8.5f, soft) 13 days ago; steps up in trip (out of a French 1m2f winner) on this return to AW. |
16/1 |
|
5 (5) |
17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dam won over 1m2f and he fared better for tackling this longer trip, in first-time cheekpieces, a fortnight ago; still to finish placed and will need another forward step if he's to get off the mark though. |
12/1 |
|
5th 6 (4) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Lightly raced 3yo whose dam won over 1m2f and he's going beyond 7f for the first time today; cheekpieces are another possible source of improvement but he needs to take a major step forward from his two handicap runs. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
A dual winner here (including over C&D) in 2025; has failed to go on this season though and tongue-tie goes on after a below-par fifth of seven in 5f Nottingham handicap three weeks ago; needs to take a big step forward. |
15/2 |

5th 6 (2) |
11th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Decent comeback effort off a 3lb higher mark in June but has struggled twice since, losing his unbeaten Ripon record as favourite before finishing a remote last of four latest; something to prove now. |
7/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
26th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Two wins at Ripon (6f, soft and 5f, good) last summer; good run over 5f here on his seasonal return in June; backwards step at Ripon latest; others look more persuasive. |

12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Built on his stable debut when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) in June and followed up next time over that same C&D, taking his record in headgear to 3-3 (won in first-time blinkers for Roger Varian); 3lb higher but respected on his return to the AW. |
3/1 |
|
1st 1 (2) |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Blinkers did the trick when winning a Tapeta handicap for Roger Varian last autumn and he made it 2-2 in headgear off 3lb lower over C&D (good to soft; cheekpieces) early in the month; been taken out on account of good to firm going before; player otherwise. |
9/4 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Signed off for Roger Varian with a victory at Newcastle (1m AW) in first-time blinkers; shaped okay on yard debut when in no headgear at Kempton (1m) and could be a factor now tried in cheekpieces. |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Well held in 7f Thirsk handicap this month on his first start for Ewan Whillans, taking his record to 0-23. |
25/1 |
|
10th 11 (13) |
10th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up eight times but left Stuart Williams for 3,400gns and as a 22-race maiden; ran well when trying this headgear combination once before (early last year) but wouldn't be the percentage call. |
33/1 |
|
7th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
21-race maiden but eight times a runner-up, including over C&D last month; two defeats over 6f have followed and he has the widest stall to overcome; Rossa Ryan returns to the saddle. |

10th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |

Big price and didn't show much on debut at Newcastle last month; considerably more needed down in trip and switched to turf. |

23rd Oct 2025 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Placed at Newmarket in her only previous handicap start at 5f and was hampered early next time; only sixth when favourite at Yarmouth 17 days ago but that was again over 6f and perhaps 5f suits best. |
9/2 |
|
10 (7) |
24th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Unexposed after just five starts and she made a good fist of her second handicap when dropped down to 5f and running on for third at Newmarket (good to firm) last month; interesting back at 6f on AW debut. |
7/2 |
|
9 (1) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
By Cracksman out of a 1m winner so not an obvious candidate for 5f; that said, she has shown some speed in her races, including over 7f on her handicap debut here two weeks ago; others still more appealing. |
