18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up for the third time in five starts since joining John Butler when best of the rest behind the well-treated Ancient State (won next time) in 16-runner race over C&D (good) 29 days ago; same mark today. |
13/2 |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four runs for John Butler, running well in three Class 5s but below par in a Class 3 in May; goes well at the Newmarket tracks and he holds each-way claims again. |
8/1 |

9st 9lb |
His losing run is gathering momentum and he has not won over 5f for three years; went close at Goodwood last month (5f, good) though and he should remain a potent force at this level. |

12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 17y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark. |
16/1 |

10th 7 (13) |
25th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

He is on a competitive mark and has a course win on his record (7f); not beaten far at Newmarket this month when tried in cheekpieces for the first time; wide draw but he's not ruled out. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Twice placed on the two courses here before his effort petered out tamely at Haydock two weeks ago; returning here has to rate a positive, as might the addition of cheekpieces. |

17th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Things didn't go her way over 7f at Newcastle last time but she remains 4lb above the mark she defied over this trip at Leicester in June; others are more obvious. |
16/1 |

3rd Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |

Didn't convince with her stamina in one attempt over this trip in April; had been in good form this summer prior to a blip at Yarmouth latest; others may have greater stamina reserves. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |

Hold-up filly who won at Leicester in July and ran to a similar level when a close fourth at Newmarket last time (despite saddle slipping); one to consider. |

13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Scored off reduced mark at Yarmouth (6f, soft) last month and also ran well when third at Newmarket (5f, good) ten days later; suited by his C&D and can make her presence felt again. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 6 (4) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Took advantage of a sliding mark on her return to turf when winning a soft-ground 0-65 off 3lb lower ten days ago; remains on a fair mark now back in form but this is tougher and she's having a first run over 5f in the best part of a year. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Sole win on turf came on good to firm at Pontefract last August off 4lb higher; had to switch for a run and couldn't finish strongly enough when last of six at Wolverhampton 36 days ago but shaped as if in form; however, others make a bit more appeal. |

Fair third in a classified over C&D (good to firm) last month but has yet to win on turf with all three wins coming at Wolverhampton; best to leave until he returns to his favoured track. |

He'd been quiet in 2024 but he attracted support dropped into a Class 6 at Chelmsford ten days ago and duly ran better, third of 11 (cheekpieces first time) from a wide stall; high on the list. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Solid strike-rate on AW but not so good on turf and latest sixth of 12 at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) will need improving on; nothing wrong with this mark, though. |
16/1 |

6th 7 (13) |
28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Enjoyed a hot spell in late 2025, winning three times (5f) either side of a close second over C&D; it has been tougher going this year and although Billy Loughnane's booking heightens interest, the draw could have been kinder. |
14/1 |

7th 9 (5) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |

Last five wins have been over 5f, the most recent at Wolverhampton (AW) in December; below his best in four starts since and now returns to turf for the first time since October 2024 following a 120-day break; best form on grass has been on soft/heavy. |
