25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last November off a 3lb higher mark; shaped as if in form when seventh of 12 there in a 0-80 in March but he's been absent since; considered. |

30th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Seven wins on the AW; consistent in the main and ran okay over the 8.6f here ten days ago, leaving the impression that this longer trip is worth another go. |

Seven times an AW winner, twice over C&D; back to his last winning mark and Jack Mitchell takes over from a 7lb claimer; one to take seriously. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
No win since June 2024; now two grades and 14lb lower; placed at Redcar (7f, good) in October but disappointing since, including in cheekpieces at Southwell (7f) five weeks ago; headgear is tweaked again (visor) seeking the solution. |
12/1 |

12th 3 (7) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
10st 13lb |
Record of 5-37 on turf and 2-15 on AW; folded tamely returned to this sphere last time but has a good chance off current mark provided he rebounds in first-time headgear. |

It's now 12 runs since his last victory and he came in just ninth in 7f Leicester handicap ten days ago; others appeal more. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Three-time AW winner; ran well when second of 15 at Chester (1m4f, good) in May but she's been below her best in the four starts since; on a workable mark but others have stronger claims. |
14/1 |
|
5th 1 (1) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) in June; beaten over 12l when 50-1 here (7f) a fortnight ago and younger legs are likely to prevail. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Versatile sort who was runner-up at Chester (12.3f, good) in May but she's not easy to predict and was tailed off in the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time; back in calmer waters now but she looks weighted near best off this mark and others are preferred. |

30th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Best run of her six was the Southwell fourth on second start (6f); hasn't been that threatening in three handicaps (7f/1m), latterly tried in a tongue-tie (absent here); must raise her game. |
14/1 |
|
4 (8) |
18th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Well treated on the form of April's Southwell novice fourth (6f) but no threat on either handicap start latterly (7f, 1m) and tongue-tie is now reached for; switch to turf no concern on pedigree, at least. |
25/1 |
|
8th 1 (2) |
9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Failed to build on earlier promise on her handicap debut when seventh of 13 at Chelmsford (7f) 34 days ago; remains low mileage so she could still do better. |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Resumed progress when winning by 2l at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on latest start, coming from towards rear; raised another 6lb but earns plenty of respect for his 6f record over the past year. |
9/2 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
23rd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made good progress last year, collecting four 6f wins along the way, but made nothing better than a satisfactory reappearance in May and is still on a fairly tough mark for this first run since. |
16/1 |
|
10th 7 (14) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
His two wins for Ross Burdon have come at a lower level; disappointed at Kempton when last seen and although he is relatively unexposed at 6f, he will need a clear personal best to take this after 108 days off. |

13 times a winner, three of them over C&D; in good form wheen last seen, including when second off this mark here in June; missed an intended C&D run last month after a controversial administrative error saw him withdrawn; high on the list. |

26th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Has gained last three wins on AW, including latest start; effective on turf but has never won away from Leicester in this sphere; something to prove back up in grade. |
10/1 |
|
1st 2 (9) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time. |
12/1 |
|
7th 7 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Resumed winning ways in 7f Southwell handicap in April but he beat only two home back there eight days later; this C&D scorer needs to bounce back. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Exposed mare who is often slowly away; however, her form at the Newmarket July course features a success (over 7f) last summer and close third (over 1m) last week; may remain competitive. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (5) |
31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Can miss the break and has a patchy profile; bounced back with a close second over C&D (good to firm) last month but she hung left when fourth of six here (7f, good to firm) last time; hood is now added on this step back up in trip but she comes with risks attached. |
10/1 |
|
4th 3 (4) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Can miss the break but she won this race last year off 10lb lower and swiftly got over a Chester aberration when second of 11 here (1m, good to firm) under Arron D'Arcy four weeks ago; a player. |

6yo maiden mare; not solid on her form this winter but is one to note if the market speaks positively on this debut for John Butler. |
