Trilby¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 80| D

12/1

Proved all the better with his reappearance behind him when resuming winning ways at Beverley (5f) in April. Exploits mixed subsequently, below his best on the back of wind surgery when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (6f) 19 days ago. This less demanding and he's the type to bounce back.

Fierce⁵⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 78| CD

5/1

9/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (good) 58 days ago, quickening up smartly and doing it readily. Handicapper has certainly had his say but respected nevertheless as an in-form sort operating from a handy draw.

Form: 87-2441

Smart Vision^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: Jessica Macey| OR: 77

15/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 22/1, thirteenth of 19 in handicap at York (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark now returned to this longer trip and not one to write off from a handy berth in stall 2.

Imperial Guard¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: M Dods| OR: 76| BF| D

11/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Eighth of 10 in handicap (9/4) at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, the run best excused having been hampered shortly after the start. Handicapper has given him a chance and he's not one to write off for all his draw could have been kinder.

Novello Lad¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 75| BF| D

4/1

Latest win at Nottingham in July. 7/2, seventh of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, considerately handled. Others more persuasive.

Bay Breeze^p⁵⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

22/1

Latest win at Carlisle in May. 18/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Chester (7f, good to firm) 54 days ago, weakening 2f out. Step back down in trip very much in his favour but others appeal more on balance for win purposes.

Form: 6-55410

Sir Garfield^b¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 74| D

11/2

Latest win at Hamilton in June. Creditable sixth of 22 in handicap at York (7f, good, 28/1) 12 days ago, travelling noticeably well and no extra only in the final 100 yds. Enters calculations returned to sprinting.

Thankuappreciate¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 72| D

16/1

Ended last year with a pair of 5f all-weather victories but essentially not yet fired this season, never threatening when twentieth of 22 in handicap at York (7f, good) 12 days ago. Opposable operating from widest draw in 12.

Form: 1-68000

The Good Biscuit¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Warren Fentiman⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 72| CD

9/2

Had fallen plenty in the weights this season and he duly capitalised when bagging 7-runner C&D handicap 19 days ago, overcoming trouble in running in the process. Remains well treated operating from a 4 lb higher mark and he's shortlisted again partnered by Warren Fentiman.

Form: 676761

The Green Man^p,t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: J P Sullivan| T: D Brooke| OR: 67| D

18/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Steps back down in trip now but best watched until displaying more positive signs.

Forecasts

Novello Lad (4/1), The Good Biscuit (9/2), Fierce (5/1), Sir Garfield (11/2), Imperial Guard (11/2), Havana Prince (7/1), May Blossom (7/1), Smart Vision (15/2), Trilby (12/1), Thankuappreciate (16/1), The Green Man (18/1), Bay Breeze (22/1)

Plenty arrive with claims including THE GOOD BISCUIT, who channelled his energy more efficiently when capitalising on a mark that has gradually eased this season over C&D 3 weeks ago. Ruth Carr's 4-y-o remains well treated from a 4 lb higher mark and could well be capable of following up again partnered by Warren Fentiman. Sir Garfield, May Blossom and Smart Vision are others to consider, as is another last-time-out C&D winner, Fierce.
