25th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Reliable sort who posted a solid fourth of 13 in 7f Southwell handicap 30 days ago; not ruled out in his bid for a breakthrough success. |

26th Aug 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
0-9 but finished runner-up in his first two career starts at this venue (7f/1m) at the start of the year; an extra furlong may suit him ideally now, but the drop in class and return here make him interesting. |
4/1 |

5th 7 (3) |
21st Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up in his first three starts earlier in the year and filled the same position with a tongue-tie added over C&D a fortnight ago; a stiffer test may suit him ideally, but still one for the shortlist off 1lb higher. |

31st May 2025 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Dual winner for Jamie Osborne last year, the latest at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) in October; regressive in three starts over 7f here since returning for this yard in March, though, and will need the switch to cheekpieces to make a difference; yard also runs Golden Pharaoh. |

14/1 |

28th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Off the mark at the 13th attempt when scoring with tongue-tie reapplied at Windsor (1m, good; 18-1) 12 days ago; that was a narrow win but he's only 3lb higher here and has possibilities if he can transfer his form back to AW. |

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. |
12/1 |

9th 5 (8) |
21st Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Had excuses when well held over a mile here in October but otherwise on the up for his new stable, winning 6f handicaps at Chepstow and Chelmsford; that latest success was a decisive one and he looks a strong contender despite his 5lb penalty. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Strike-rate of 2-22 on the AW but both wins have been this year, the latest off 3lb lower over C&D in February when a well-backed favourite; has been off since so may be better for the run. |
12/1 |
|
1st 1 (1) |
17th Feb 2026 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Easy win at Southwell (1m; well backed) last month and she has run well in defeat since; stamina has to be taken on trust. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (11) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Below-par favourite and unable to take advantage of good opportunity over C&D last time when ahead of the assessor; consistent otherwise for current yard but her new mark has kicked in. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
His last win was 13 months ago but he's run two promising races for James Owen this spring and was beaten less than 2l when sixth at Leicester (1m, good to firm; 9-2) last time; remains well handicapped on his old form and he shouldn't be far away. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
On a long losing sequence (for Darryll Holland) but he made a promising start for James Owen after a three-month layoff when second of 12 in 1m AW Lingfield handicap nine days ago; big shout nudged up 1lb. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 4 (8) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Signed off for Darryll Holland with a below-par run at Kempton in January but had gone close off today's mark over C&D a few days earlier and it will be interesting to see what James Owen can do with him (same owner). |

7th Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Recorded a 40-1 win at Haydock (6f) on 2yo debut; has failed to match that form since, mostly finishing last; first-time headgear needs to have major effect. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Nine-race maiden on turf, best recent run when third at Catterick in April (1m4f, good); hasn't done as well since. |
14/1 |
|
6th 10 (10) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 13y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just one win from his 25 starts but he was a good third over C&D last month and didn't see out 1m6f when fifth to Free Pic here last time; each-way claims back down in trip. |
14/1 |
|
5th 5 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 192y Class 6 |
8st 5lb |
In the hands of John Butler when sporting first-time blinkers to score at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) in February; that's her only success but a keeping-on third here (1m4f, good) was a respectable effort a fortnight ago and this new trip is probably worth a go. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
In good form on the AW this year, winning a handicap at Lingfield (7f) in February and running creditably when fourth in similar event at Newcastle (6f) on Good Friday; has shown he's up to Listed level but this is still a warm race in which to be making his debut on grass. |
25/1 |
|
4th 3 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; running well in handicaps this winter before a fine second in Listed company at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; the 10lb hike for that will surely leave him vulnerable. |
25/1 |
|
2nd 3 (1) |
7th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Still improving and his latest Lingfield success (7f) was just reward for a string of good placed efforts this year; has a stiff task at the weights but likely he will fare better than they suggest. |
