Spiorad^t⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| CD

11/4

18/1, creditable third of 17 in handicap at York (7.9f, good) 41 days ago. 2-2 over this C&D and should have a part to play in the finish.

Form: 110-053

Scottish Summit²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 86| C

12/1

Course winner. Good second of 6 in handicap (7/1) at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Clearly in good heart but remains vulnerable from a win point of view.

Form: 9-32322

Mosakhar²⁰⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Robinson| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 85| D

33/1

Creditable second of 6 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 3/1). Off 6 months ahead of this turf debut and while more is needed, he's hardly exposed with just half-a-dozen runs under his belt.

Form: 43/31-12

King Ragnar²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: E J Walsh| T: R Varian| OR: 90

16/5

Latest win at Leicester in July. 5/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Merits serious consideration off the same mark here.

Form: 21-3213

Fennaan¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Rowan Scott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 83| D

9/1

Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 13 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win perspective.

Form: 2019-76

Archaeology³¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 80| D

11/1

25/1, below form fourth of 14 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, heavy). Off 10 months and back down in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Boston George⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 80

13/2

Eighth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to soft, 12/1) 5 days ago and revival needed.

Form: 369-768

Garden Oasis^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77| D

4/1

Latest win at Ripon in July. 11/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Enters calculations.

Forecasts

Spiorad (11/4), King Ragnar (16/5), Garden Oasis (4/1), Ghaly (5/1), Gallipoli (6/1), Boston George (13/2), Northernpowerhouse (7/1), Irreverent (7/1), Fennaan (9/1), Archaeology (11/1), Scottish Summit (12/1), Mosakhar (33/1)

Newmarket raiders GHALY and King Ragnar are the most striking candidates, particularly the former who took another step forward when scoring at Newmarket. A 4 lb rise almost certainly underestimates him and he is marginally preferred to the 3-y-o King Ragnar. Spiorad, successful on both previous visits to this course, and Garden Oasis can do battle for minor honours.
