17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Failed to fire in French Listed race last time; broadly progressive in handicaps and went close in the Lincoln when bidding for a five-timer (ran creditably in Spring Cup next time); however, chance partly depends on the weather, as he's ideally suited by ground softer than good. |

5th 11 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive 4yo; 5-6 over 7f but showed he's just as effective at 1m when making Urban Lion pull out all the stops in the Lincoln at Doncaster (good to soft) three weeks ago; 1lb better off for a nose defeat and there should be little between the pair again. |

2nd 12 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Won over 7f here in September (good to soft) and October (soft) to complete a four-timer; all of those wins came by less than 1l, suggesting he's a type who only just does enough, and there may be more left in the tank; worth another crack at 1m and could be in the mix if seeing it out. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Steadily progressive and has a largely solid record; won well in his last handicap attempt, then ran well in Listed grade; gelded since; has C&D form and looks an interesting contender on seasonal debut, with further improvement a possibility; market support should be heeded. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (2) |
29th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Reliable sort who's found some improvement in recent starts, on last two occasions taking second at Ascot (7f, soft) and winning well in a handicap at Haydock (1m, good to soft); first crack at 1m suited him very well last time but another step forward is required. |

25th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
The addition of cheekpieces saw him break his turf duck at Yarmouth in April, digging deep to win by a short head; similar form when third of 14 at Goodwood (7f, good) five weeks ago; he will need a personal best to come out on top this time though. |

Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) returned to turf with AW reappearance under his belt, taking overall record to 3-13; upped in grade but may have more to offer in the retained headgear; shortlisted. |

1st 2 (10) |
21st Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Both of his wins have been on AW but he does act on turf; strong in the betting when seventh at Newcastle (7f, AW) on his reappearance 25 days ago, albeit beaten only 2l; claims with cheekpieces first time. |

9st 12lb |
All three wins have been over 7f at Southwell (Karl Burke/Iain Jardine); has dropped a long way in the weights and took second on his stable debut at Ripon (6f, good) two weeks ago; steps back up in trip with solid claims. |
11/4 |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

All three wins have been over 7f at Southwell for Karl Burke then Iain Jardine; has dropped to a fair mark after some disappointing runs recently and now makes debut for new yard after changing hands for 7,000gns in April; not sure 6f on turf is ideal. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stop-start career but can add to her Wolverhampton novice success on the evidence of an unlucky third at Doncaster in June and decent fifth in a hot race at Southwell last time; might be one for another day, though; Polytrack debut. |
10/1 |
|
5th 8 (5) |
17th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Improved to win 6f Wolverhampton novice on stable debut in February and might have been a shade unlucky not to follow up on handicap debut a Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in June; didn't fire at Ascot last month but still has possibilities on this return to Tapeta. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |

Still seeking his first handicap success and he has been beaten as favourite in both starts this year; on a dangerous mark and likely to be popular again. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |

Novice winner on soft and has gone close in a 7f handicap on good to soft; well beaten upped to 1m at Leicester on final run in October but that was too bad to be true; has dipped to a dangerous mark and, at this trip, may have improvement lurking. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Losing run up to 21, but he ran well to finish a close fourth of 16 at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; a few winners have come out of that race and a hood is given a go, but the drop to 5f may not be ideal even on a stiff track like this. |

Very useful juvenile/3yo for Roger Varian but his last win was in February 2024 and he's not made an impact in seven runs this year; mark continues to fall but losing run is up to 20 and others are preferred. |

5th 3 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Kept on well to beat Blufferonthebus at Carlisle (her only other win also came there) in June; good effort when second of 11 at Thirsk (also 1m, soft) in September when last seen; also ran well on her return in 2024 but could beat only Dandy's Angel when making her comeback in this race last year; any rain would help and market may guide on this reappearance. |

Won over this trip at Musselburgh last summer but hasn't added to tally and needs to improve for the switch back to AW/drop to 7f if she's to win this. |

9st 4lb |
Made all off 1lb higher at Windsor (1m, good) in spring 2024 and will also be suited by today's trip-and-surface combination but returned from long absence with 15l defeat last month and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |

Made all in good style at Windsor (1m, good) in April 2024 and this 7yo is well treated now 2lb higher if retaining that ability; however, he's returning from a 454-day absence so there are questions to answer. |
33/1 |

28th Apr 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |

Wolverhampton winner early last year who scored in some style at Windsor (1m, good) this month but was disappointing under his penalty at Pontefract (1m, soft) six days ago; not quite sure what to expect after that; stable also runs Visibility. |
