Heather Small Live At LeicesterRaces Saturday 4th July Handicap

In fine form this year, winning 3 times, the latest over 1m at Bath (good) in April. Posted another good effort when 3½ lengths third of 7 to Jack Sparowe in handicap at Yarmouth (1¼m) 24 days ago.

Reacted well to blinkers when snapping a losing run at Yarmouth (1¼m) last month, forging clear. More than matched that form when second at Wolverhampton under a penalty a week later, clear of rest, and another bold bid likely from new mark.

Versatile regarding trip and in fine heart since the spring, value for extra for second win in 8-runner handicap at Chepstow (1½m) 15 days ago, confirming stamina for that new trip in the process. 6 lb rise to deal with but likely to give it another good shot.

Headstrong sort who settled better under Oisin Murphy when opening her account in 9-runner handicap at Haydock (1¼m) by 2 lengths from Lesrico 3 weeks ago. Chance her limit hasn't been reached so 5 lb rise likely to be within range.

Three-time winner on all-weather who has dropped in the weights and shaped well when third of 8 at Pontefract a week ago given he wasn't ideally placed. Repeat of that will see him involved.

Ready winner at Newcastle in February but has only really finished his race off with any conviction once since.

Got off the mark at Doncaster in October and backed it up with a good fifth at Redcar (1¼m) following month. Better than ever when 2-lengths second of 9 to Blue Wonder in handicap at Haydock (1¼m) on reappearance 22 days ago, albeit having run of the race

Went handicapping from a very low base and expertly placed to win 4 times during second half of 2025. Faded as though in need of the run on reappearance 4 weeks ago (also slowly away) and this will tell us more.

Well-bred filly who ran well after 6 months off/starting out for new yard (also hooded) when third in a Southwell handicap (1m) in April. Not in the same form twice since and has stamina to prove for this far minus headgear.

Has made a good start to the campaign, his C&D win in April flanked by runner-up efforts, including back here 18 days ago. This is a deeper race, however.
