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. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

10th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |

Reliable sort who comes here on the back of a solid fifth of 12 in 7f handicap here 18 days ago; he ought to be in the shake-up once more. |

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. |

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. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

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. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Kept on well for second of 15 over an extended 1m4f at Chester (good) in May but below-par sixth over the same trip at Goodwood since; latest win came over 1m on AW in March, so the significant drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue but it's still hard to be upbeat about her prospects here from 4lb out of the handicap. |
100/1 |

6th 6 (9) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Had a lot of racing but she arrives here in a fine run of form and kept on well for second in a Class 4 at Chester four weeks ago (good); effective on good to soft; chance. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 (5) |
8th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Led close home at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and has held her form well since (7f-9.4f); should be fine back on turf but current mark demands a career-best performance on this first attempt at 1m4f. |

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. |

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. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
He was winning for the 13th time when seeing off eight rivals over C&D last month; backed it up with a close second at Lingfield 24 days ago; more appealing than many. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 5 (3) |
4th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Three C&D wins but perhaps even more effective on Tapeta; had the benefit of Jack Callan's claim when successful at Wolverhampton (7f) last month and although back up 3lb he's perfectly capable of finding another race off this mark. |

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. |

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. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 (3) |
20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Three turf wins include a 20-1 7f success when tongue tied here (good) last July; posted a cracking return from a break when 33-1 and second of 16 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April but it all went pear-shaped at Chester last Friday; has won at 1m before but last year's efforts over this trip weren't overly convincing. |
16/1 |
|
11th 10 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
3-15 on turf; beaten 1l in 16-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) when last seen in April; would hold claims if she can build on that effort. |

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. |
