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. |

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. |

Ended his time with Roger Varian with success at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta; first-time blinkers, now removed) in October; changed hands for 22,000gns soon afterwards; market useful on stable debut after 195 days off. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Gained first win since his 2yo days when making all in a Class 6 over C&D last week (blinkered first time); unlikely to get a soft lead this time and a 5lb penalty against stronger opposition demands more in any case. |
4/1 |

1st 4 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won maiden claimer for Tony Mullins in August 2024 (1m, good); hasn't won since but a few fair runs for new yard, including when third at Carlisle in June (1m1f, soft); blinkers now tried; fast ground is a concern. |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Poor strike-rate but he ended 2025 in good form and he ran his best race of this campaign when third over 1m1f here last week; runs off the same mark and he is one to take seriously. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to form when winning at Redcar in June (7f, good) and finished a sound third off 6lb higher at Beverley last time (7.5f, good to firm); down 1lb; a possible. |
7/2 |

3rd 2 (1) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 96y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Back to form with a 20-1 win at Redcar where he and runner-up Reginald Charles benefited from racing alone; did that comfortably and a 6lb rise wouldn't be too troublesome if he has turned a corner. |
5/1 |

1st 10 (5) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Formerly consistent and has dropped to a handy mark on the pick of his form, but heavy defeats over 1m here and at Ripon in his last two starts leave him with enough to prove. |

1st Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
First 7f win at Newmarket in May; just 1-22 on the AW but this surface suits and he was unlucky in his sole C&D run, when runner-up in September, and looks well worth another go back over this trip. |

All bar one of his seven wins has come over 6f, but he has finished runner-up in both goes over this trip including here; still 6lb above his last winning mark, though, so needs to find a bit more. |

29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
4yo filly whose form at Pontefract comprises her sole turf win, gained over 6f in 2024, and strong-finishing second (nearly got up) over 1m last time; major player back up just 1lb. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (1) |
22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
6f course win as a 2yo; added a 1m handicap at Newcastle last October and there have been some near misses on AW this year too; not beaten far into fifth at Thirsk on Saturday on her return to Class 5 level; well drawn but slower than good would be a concern. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Turf winner as 2yo; some good AW runs since winning at Newcastle (1m) in October but she's slacked off on her last two starts and needs a turnaround now back on this surface; has more to prove than some. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Ran well from out of the handicap at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) last week, poaching a big lead but reeled in close home; whether she can repeat that form in this bigger field remains to be seen. |

2nd 6 (1) |
15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 13y Class 5 |

21st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Probably ran into one when beaten 12l into second of six in a novice over C&D last month, but made no mistake on handicap debut back here 19 days ago, coming home 4l clear; 9lb higher but probably has plenty more to offer. |

Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark after winning his first two on Tapeta and struggled last year; found his level again in the visor lately, chasing home a subsequent winner before finding 1m4f beyond him last time; one to consider. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner for his previous stable; has tumbled in the weights since joining this yard last summer and ran well in the added visor at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago, shaping as if this step back up to 1m4f would suit; shortlisted. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |

Dual AW winner; yet to win in four starts on turf, although fair fifth over 1m4f at Beverley last time (good to soft); this drop in trip should suit; visor now tried (well beaten only run in cheekpieces). |
