4th Nov 2025 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Over two years since his last win and his latest 1m run here was a poor one; better expected now dropping into Class 6 company though. |

5th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 212y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Without a win since April 2024; just three runs for this yard, the standout being his fourth over 1m on the AW; wouldn't be the most solid option but has more races in him and this ground will be fine. |
14/1 |

9th 3 (3) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was in April 2024 but he hasn't been with John Butler for long and he showed signs of a revival when fourth at Newcastle (1m, AW) last month; has claims if he can build on that and he should be fine back at this trip. |
9/2 |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
10st 1lb |
A useful 1m winner at his best for Jack Channon; offered little in two runs for Brian Toomey this spring though and came in last of 14 for John Butler in 7f handicap here four weeks ago; no surprise if he took a step forward though with new yard among the winners. |

7th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 216y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Ran big race in defeat on seasonal debut at Bath (1m, soft) in May but was not seen to quite the same effect on good ground the last twice and conditions are likely to be even quicker today. |
11/2 |

15th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; 1m maiden winner at Brighton last September, in a two-runner race; close second at Bath (1m, soft) on reappearance, before a lesser show at Brighton later in May; needs to resume progress. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
6yo who is 0-5 over hurdles and 1-13 on the Flat; tailed off in this year's two runs, at 1m2f and 1m. |

12th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1lb below sole winning mark, but very lightly raced since joining this yard and failed to beat a rival at Newbury (1m1f, good) last month; probably best watched on AW debut. |
33/1 |
|
14th 10 (14) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
1-10 over 2022 and 2023 for Ralph Beckett, with a soft-ground win over 1m2f, but modest over hurdles in 2024; fourth of eight for new yard in a 1m2f handicap last July was a partial revival but that was his only race last year and he needs to build markedly on it; tongue-tie (worn as a hurdler) returns. |

14th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Ready winner of 7f debut at Leicester (soft); no extra under a penalty on good ground next time and stepping up to 1m seemed to find him out on handicap debut at Newbury (heavy); interesting he switches to Polytrack rather than look for a soft-ground turf race at 7f; has some potential. |
6/1 |

17th Aug 2023 Good 0m 6f 213y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
11-8 favourite for 15-runner novice at Leicester (7f, soft) on debut 15 days ago and the confidence was not misplaced, as he led 2f out and won comfortably from Crown Dreams; penalised but could be set for a good deal better. |

31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Sole win on the AW came at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in December; has posted some good placed efforts since and left the impression he's still in form when sixth of 13 there over 1m3f last time; can be slowly away but is considered. |
6/1 |
|
6th 3 (13) |
25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
AW regular who scored here (1m2f) in December and has strung together a long line of minor honours this year; should be seriously involved. |

19th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-13 but he's still relatively unexposed as a sprinter and he wasn't beaten far into third at Brighton ten days ago; one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
9th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
12-race maiden with form figures of 5808756 for his new yard since December; has dropped a long way in the weights but slow starts have been an issue at times and he was never involved at Salisbury two weeks ago; others are more convincing. |
9/1 |
|
6th 5 (6) |
24th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark for Richard Hannon last year but is competitive now and shaped nicely again last time; it remains to be seen whether he has the toe for 5f but he's a keen-goer and one of the more interesting runners. |
10/1 |
