29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Unraced here and three of his four wins have been at Kempton where he was a running-on fourth last time over 7f; won't mind returning to 1m and he has competitive turf form on slow and fast ground. |
7/1 |
|
4th 11 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
His three AW wins have all been at Kempton including two over C&D; made the breakthrough on turf at Yarmouth in May and he's run respectably there in his last two starts; now goes back up in grade but he's not ruled out back on Polytrack. |

9st 8lb |
Three of his four wins have been on the AW and the other came over this C&D in May off a 3lb lower mark than today's; ran respectably over 1m here four weeks ago and holds solid claims back down in trip. |

26th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
5f winner here as a 3yo whose losing run is up to 14, but she has finished runner-up on the Kempton Polytrack (7f/1m) the last twice; up 1lb but still high on the list with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces. |

2nd 6 (3) |
14th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Has to prove her stamina for 1m but she arrives on the back of a good second here last week (7f), headed late on and finishing clear of the third; runs off the same mark and commands plenty of respect. |

18th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Top-class pedigree and came good on his fifth start when blinkered at Windsor (1m, soft), where he was nicely on top at the finish; up 6lb but could have turned a corner. |
11/4 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
1st Sep 2025 Good 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Top-class pedigree but he ran to a modest level in three novice/maiden runs and he fared no better on his handicap debut at Newmarket last month (1m2f, good to firm); too soon to write him off and dropping in trip/class in new blinkers could see him fare better. |
11/2 |

7th 10 (9) |
8th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
Brother to three winners with peak RPR of at least 111, notably Journey (1m2f-1m4f including Group 1; RPR 120), so going handicapping off a mark of 66 has to catch the eye; latest was easily his closest finish, when about 7l sixth of nine in Windsor maiden (1m2f, good to firm; 50-1) in April, and he's been gelded since; needs better but market confidence would be interesting. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Both wins have been on AW at Lingfield (1m2f) and latest was off 1lb lower in April; mixed results in last four runs, but he was good third at Wolverhampton (1m4f) two weeks ago and has claims if he can back that up. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 (9) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have been on AW at Lingfield over 1m2f; appeared to get the trip when fourth of seven over C&D last month but looks high in the weights. |
14/1 |
|
4th 1 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Both wins have came on AW over 1m2f at Lingfield this year, latest in April; inconsistent last four starts, respectable fourth here (9.4f) latest; second once in March over 1m3f and this is his first crack at 1m4f. |

20th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many. |
7/1 |
|
9th 3 (8) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Not disgraced when third of four in a steadily-run 1m6f handicap at Doncaster last month; blinkers go on now and this low-mileage 4yo needs considering in his bid for a maiden success. |
5/1 |

3rd 1 (4) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Seven defeats include four handicaps, the best of which was a close third on good to soft at Yarmouth last September (1m); didn't convince stamina-wise over 1m2f last time and now has a good deal further to travel. |
9/2 |

5th 4 (4) |
26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Low-mileage 4yo has been kept to 1m since handicapping, running well on first occasion but disappointing in two starts this term; chance of a resurgence largely depends on the effects of new trip. |

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. |

2nd Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 0lb |
This son of Time Test cost 4,000gns as a yearling and is closely related to 1m/1m2f winner Zara's Return (RPR 82); dam French 1m AW winner; likely best watched on debut. |
