14/1

Having eased further in the weights, got off the mark in 10-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good, 12/1) 9 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Kode Secret, staying on to lead final 1f. Will need to find more under a penalty.

16/1

After 11 months off (had wind op), produced best effort to date when fifth of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago. Remains lightly raced so he could still have more to offer.

12/1

4/1

C&D winner. Bounced back to his best when recording a second win of the season in 10-runner handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good, 14/1) 31 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Not taken lightly.

Little Muddy²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 62

28/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Form has gone the wrong way this year, seventh of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft, 11/2) 3 weeks ago. Has enough to prove at present.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 64WS

16/1

11/2

Opened account at this C&D (soft) in May. Below his best last 3 starts, sixth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 15 days ago, but he's now back down to his winning mark as a result.

Angel Of The Bay^b1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: O J Orr| T: T D Barron| OR: 55

13/2

Remains a maiden but took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm, 7/1) 10 days ago. Runner-up at this C&D in May, so he's one to note with blinkers on 1st time.

KODEBREAKER returned to his best when runner-up at this course 8 days ago, bumping into one who was completing a hat-trick, so he is taken to record a third win of the season. Heading the list of dangers is stablemate Ratafia, who also bounced back to form when winning at Yarmouth last time, with Kode Secret another who could be in the mix.
