30th Jun 2023 Good 0m 6f 2y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins on the AW earlier in year and back off the same mark as when winning at Chelmsford (6f) in February; 0-19 on turf, though, and hasn't shown enough since returning to grass last month to give him compelling claims here. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 0m 5f 215y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Has shown inconsistent form, mostly on AW, this year and ran below par over C&D in most recent turf attempt; far from sure to take advantage of a reduced mark. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won off 9lb higher at Bath (5.6f) last August but he's been up and down since then and has been well held in last three starts; has plenty to prove again and he's not run over this trip since 2021. |
8/1 |

11th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Should be making a big impact off this sort of mark but mixed record early in the year and well held, albeit after 164 days off, at Brighton five weeks ago; others look safer. |

Veteran with 18 wins on his CV, including over C&D; last success was from the front at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May but he's been well held in both runs since; bit to prove again but has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

Veteran who has run a couple of good races this winter, including his third of eight over C&D ten days ago; a bit more will be needed to record his 11th career success. |

11th May 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Arrives on a long losing run but he posted a good second of eight in C&D handicap three weeks ago; he can race off the same mark here so needs considering. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
20th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Good run of form came to an end when down the field at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; his most recent run at this track saw him finish a good second though and he has dropped to a career-low mark. |
11/2 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
8th Apr 2023 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to win in 11 starts for this yard but he has been much more competitive since dropping into Class 6 events; repeat of his recent efforts would see him involved but he is one of a number in the field who like to be on the sharp end. |

9th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 60y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Dual 5f AW winner this year; ought to have handled the soft ground better when down the field at Chester last month but was creditable second from awkward draw there (6f, good) two starts ago; no surprise if he makes a bold bid from the front here. |
12/1 |

7th 8 (3) |
14th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 5f 110y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Two front-running wins at Lingfield (6f and 5f; AW) this year; good second over 6f here four weeks ago (drawn wide); better berthed today and still feasibly treated; may have stablemate Recon Mission to worry about for the early lead. |

29th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

On a three-year losing spell; well below best in two runs for new stable this winter; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
16/1 |
|
9th 3 (2) |
22nd Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was almost three years ago and he made a low-key start for this yard at Lingfield (6f) last month; that was after a lengthy absence but he's been well held in his last four runs and needs a major upturn in form; change of headgear. |
8/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
23rd Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Effective over C&D, placed off a 9lb higher mark here in January when trained by Simon Pearce; he's been given a real chance by the handicapper and he's one to take seriously starting out for John Butler. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was at Windsor 13 months ago but that was off 13lb higher and he finished a close third over C&D (good to firm) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can recapture that form and he won't mind what the weather does. |
15/2 |
|
8th 4 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 4f 214y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won at Windsor last April off a mark 12lb higher than today's and he took a step back in the right direction when a close-up third at Nottingham (5f) a week ago; claims if building on that now returned to the AW. |
9/2 |

3rd 8 (3) |
