Low-mileage sort who capitalised on a falling mark and justified good support in the process when opening his account in 12-runner C&D handicap 23 days ago. Did well under the circumstances then (encountered trouble in running) and a 3 lb rise should see him very competitive again.

Low-mileage 4-y-o who has made a sound start for his new yard, seemingly paying for earlier exertions when third in a C&D handicap in July. Mark looks workable on balance of his form and he's worth a second look back from a break.

Supremacy gelding who has displayed much more encouraging signs on 2 of last 3 starts, equipped with cheekpieces when keeping on third in big-field handicap at Redcar (1m) 16 days ago. Return to this longer trip promises to suit on that evidence and he's worth a second look.

C&D winner from this mark 12 months ago. Yet to add to his tally but proving largely consistent in recent months, not discredited back on softer ground when fourth at Hamilton (11f) 23 days ago. Each-way claims back down in trip.

Well supported when landing a quick-fire double on the Flat at up to 1½m in June. Ridden too aggressively when sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (13f) 6 weeks ago (final start for Faye Bramley) and better showing certainly not ruled out back down in trip.

Juvenile hurdle winner for this yard in 2024. Made the frame but ran to only a modest level back from 10 months off when fourth in classified event at Ayr (1m, good) last month and fared no better when 10 lengths fourth of 7 in a C&D handicap since. Others more persuasive.

Added a fifth C&D success to his tally last November but more bad runs than good ones since, left behind from 3f out on return from 5 months off at Thirsk (1½m) 6 weeks ago. Has it to prove at present.

Maiden who posted a solid second over 1m at Ayr in June and back to that sort of form when third over this trip at Pontefract 8 days ago, no extra final 1f. Each-way possibilities back on all-weather from unchanged mark.

Won 3 times on turf for Richard Hannon in 2025. Turned in best effort for current yard when runner-up at Doncaster in June but hasn't scaled same heights in pair of starts on turf/all-weather more recently.

Showed ability in maidens in Ireland last year but hasn't fired in 5 starts for current yard this season. Steps back in trip now.

Finished a close third in better race at Hamilton last month but typically put himself on the back foot with slow starts of late, and ran poorly when last of 8 in handicap at Ayr (1m, soft) last week. Back up in trip now and whilst he's capable, he clearly comes with risks attached.

Fair maiden in Ireland for John Joseph Murphy. Yet to cut much ice for current yard, including following a breathing operation at Carlisle (9f, good to firm) 4 weeks ago.

Long-standing maiden who has offered little in turf handicaps in recent months. Hard to make a case for back up markedly in trip.
