4/1(+11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Sea In The Dark 4/1, 14/1, some encouragement when fifth of 11 in maiden at Haydock (7f, good, 14/1) on debut 19 days ago. Should have more to offer. Respected. | |||

3.5/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Lord Sam's Castle 3.5/1, Went close on 6f Hamilton debut but failed to build on it when only eighth of 15 in novice at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 3/1) since. Visor reached for now. | |||

14/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Trabajo Detecho 14/1, Foaled April 4.£28,000 breeze-up buy. Bated Breath gelding. Dam, maiden (probably stayed 1¼m), half-sister to very smart 5f-1m winner Belvoir Bay. Danny Tudhope an interesting booking on debut. Check betting. | |||

50/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Maureen's Lass 50/1, Well beaten in 2 outings over 7f and likely up against it again. | |||

4.5/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Act Of Will 4.5/1, Promise when second of 14 on 6f Carlisle debut in June. Looked unsuited by the drop to 5f when fifth at Ripon since. Retains potential now stepping up in trip. |

3/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Canaria Prince 3/1, Came good at Beverley in June and added to his tally over C&D (good) 7 days ago, keeping on well. 5 lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. | |||
(7)  (3.2/1 +47%)Mrs Bagerran |
3.2/1(+47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mrs Bagerran 3.2/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs but she did respond well to first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second of 10 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm, 6/1) 9 days ago. Claims if in the same form. | |||

3.5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tanasoq 3.5/1, C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2021 but he has gone close off higher marks than this in recent months and he ought to find this a bit easier than the C&D Class 4 he contested last time. | |||
(5)  (8/1 -60%)Primo |
8/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Primo 8/1, Winner at Beverley in May. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (6f) 12 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up. | |||
(3)  (8.5/1 +29%)Abel Handy |
8.5/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Abel Handy 8.5/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to soft, 20/1) 22 days ago. First-time visor needs to make a difference. | |||

10/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Koropick 10/1, Thirty runs since last win in 2017. 12/1, 4¼ lengths eighth of 12 to Aconcagua Mountain in classified event at Redcar (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Looks competitive on form. | |||
(9)  (12/1 +64%)Pacopash |
12/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Pacopash 12/1, Poor maiden on balance. Visored first time, 3 lengths seventh of 12 to Aconcagua Mountain in classified event at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 40/1) 18 days ago. | |||
(4)  (16/1 -45%)Bonito Cavalo |

Latest win at Beverley in June. 5/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 9 days ago, nearest finish.

2.75/1(+66%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) How Bizarre 2.75/1, Unreliable sort. C&D winner.

100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Barney Too 100/1, No form last year, including in handicap final start. Well held after 9 months off at Ripon recently and it's impossible to make a case for him. | |||
