2nd 6 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent last November; on a realistic mark and recent Lingfield run wasn't too shoddy on the back of an absence. |

25th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Seven of his eight wins have been on the AW, the most recent coming at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last November off a 3lb higher mark; shaped as if in form when seventh of 12 there in a 0-80 in March but he's been absent since; considered. |

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. |

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. |
12/1 |

12th 3 (7) |
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. |

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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Having dropped down the weights she returned to form with a close second at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) a fortnight; this course winner is fine at today's trip and can be in the shake-up if backing up that latest effort. |
9/1 |

2nd 3 (7) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Three-time AW winner but has lost her way since a good run at Chester in May and others have more going for them. |

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. |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has gained all wins over 6f, including twice this year, but went close at Kempton the last two times he attempted 7f; however, returns here off a stiffer mark. |
14/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
19th Sep 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |

Resumed progress when winning by 2l at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on latest start, coming from towards rear; raised another 6lb but earns plenty of respect for his 6f record over the past year. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Campaigned mostly in Class 6, including for 12 AW wins, the most recent in August; has remained in form on turf since; could go well but is no certainty to add to his tally, being 0-15 in Class 5. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 (11) |
28th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Prolific AW winner who is 2-25 on turf, most recently over this C&D in July 2024; creditable return to grass when second of 13 at Yarmouth (7f, good) 11 days ago but likely that more will be needed. |
10/1 |

2nd 2 (8) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Kept on well to score at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month, his 14th career success; doesn't often run on turf nowadays, though, and current mark is his highest since 2023. |

17th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Successful for previous yards; ran respectably on debut for current stable but has regressed at Southwell in two subsequent starts; hence a turnaround is required. |
12/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
24th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Left Michael Herrington for 12,000gns; bang there on yard debut over 7f at Newcastle and should be in the mix once more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (9) |
5th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Dual 7f winner in the spring who was picked up from Michael Herrington for 12,000gns a couple of months ago; have to go a long way back for the last time he won off a mark this high, while all victories have come after a recent start. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Often slowly away but has proved consistent of late, including on the Newmarket July course; close third at Yarmouth (1m) last week; place possibilities in this first attempt on the Rowley Mile. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 (14) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 3y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Dual course winner (1m/7f); often loses ground at the start, which is a worry, but gave good account when second at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) last month and competes off the same mark here. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 4 (1) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Exposed mare who is often slowly away; however, her form at the Newmarket July course features a success (over 7f) last summer and close third (over 1m) last week; may remain competitive. |

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. |
