27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 0lb |
Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian; 0-6 over hurdles; has failed to build on a third-placing in a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; twice a beaten favourite since then (including in a 4yo handicap at Ascot) and looks vulnerable. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 0lb |
Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-5 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; placed in three of his four starts over hurdles in Ireland, including a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; hung badly right when failing to justify support in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Ascot. |
4/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-4 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; he was facing testing ground for the first time in his life when third at Naas in the race that yet again provided the winner of the Fred Winter and conditions were again slow when third in a big-field maiden last week at Navan; suspicion there's more in the locker that could be unleashed now handicapping, especially back on a drier surface; big player. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 43y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Seven wins this year (1m-1m4f, including on good to soft; unraced on softer) and looked better than ever when close third of 11 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) last time; in the mix if handling the ground. |
15/2 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Can make the running; highly progressive 4yo until a lesser result at Ayr on latest outing but being hampered at the start seemed to scupper him; had seven wins May-August and went mighty close at the Doncaster St Leger meeting last month; 5lb higher today but he remains one for the shortlist. |
100/30 |
|

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Highly progressive 4yo who made it seven wins from his last nine starts when scoring at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month, and he was a close second of 14 off this mark at Doncaster last Thursday (1m4f, good to soft; unraced on softer); reappears before 5lb rise kicks in and holds very solid claims. |

9st 8lb |
Six-time winner who has his lowest mark since May 2025 (when C&D winner) but no joy this year and his last three results don't look encouraging; behind Son Of Man at Windsor latest, albeit after ten weeks off. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 2 |

1m2f turf wins this May and June, the latter when tongue tied first time (kept since); ran respectably at 1m4f on last two starts (three places behind Crowd Quake at Doncaster on latest) but return to 1m2f may suit. |

Justified favouritism in maiden hurdle last week; Flat form this year features Newbury success that completed a 1m4f Class 4 double; however, faces a stiffer task off current mark in this grade. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |

Had wind surgery in January; he's since had three runs this summer and something has clicked in a major way on last two occasions as he registered a ready win in four-runner race at Catterick and had no problem making all in a five-runner race at Newbury (again 1m4f on good to firm) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty and this is a vastly more competitive race, but never better. |

Dual handicap winner who was beaten only a neck when 66-1 for a Pontefract Listed race (1m, good; Arisaig third) in July; didn't back that up when fifth of six in similar event three weeks later, however, and the balance of her form leaves her with something to find. |

2nd 7 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best; has regressed and become inconsistent in this sphere but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when third at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; RPR 79) last month; sports refitted cheekpieces for this hurdling debut; can feature if all goes to plan. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after winning Lingfield maiden (AW) in April last year and he bounced back from a swing at the Derby when going close at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) in July; that form would make him a handicap snip but it's been a real struggle since and blinkers are now reached for; only considered if the market warms to him. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

His losing run is up to 13 and he's not as good as he was, but off a reduced mark he's run well to be third on his last three outings, over C&D (good to firm) last time after a two-month break; could be thereabouts. |

Useful Flat racer who took pretty well to hurdling last season, winning at Warwick (soft) and Huntingdon (good to soft); pulled up in Aintree festival Grade 1 in April and made low-key reappearance on the Flat last month but can feature here if aided by first-time cheekpieces. |

Fairly useful on Flat for Charlie Johnston, winning over about 1m2f at Ayr and Chester last term; also won two 2m juvenile hurdles early this year, by 20l on second occasion, but pulled up when 28-1 in the Aintree Grade 1 in April; off since and needs to be in peak Flat form. |

No win since May 2024 when trained by Sir Michael Stoute (below form last year for Kevin Ryan) but second of 14 off almost a career-low mark at Musselburgh (1m4f, good; under Zak Wheatley) one month ago was easily his most competitive show since; back up 2lb and needs to build on that revival. |
