Sugar Baby²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: P D Niven| OR: 65

9/2

Won at Redcar in May and continued the good work with a brace of runner-up efforts, latterly in 12-runner handicap at Thirsk over 6f (15/2) 28 days ago. Should remain competitive at this level.

South Shore^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 63| D

17/2

Won 5.5f handicap at Wetherby (17/2) in first-time hood 32 days ago before finishing seventh of 12 at Ripon (7/1) a fortnight ago, on the back foot after being slowly into stride.

Form: 787417

(12)

Raft Up^h¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Rowan Scott| T: H Bethell| OR: 63| CD

9/2

Won 6f handicap at this C&D 27 days ago, his first victory on turf. Second of 12 in handicap at Ripon over 6f (9/1) 15 days ago, compromised by racing in smaller far-side group. Continues in good heart and should be very competitive back at scene of recent success.

Form: 628312

Captain Vallo^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: K Stott| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 63| D

4/1

Consistent performer in 6f handicaps, with six consecutive in-frame finishes, most recently when second of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (4/1) 17 days ago, led over 1f out but headed in final strides. Should be on the premises again.

Form: 242332

(10)

Roundhay Park^p¹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-10| J: Faye McManoman| T: N Tinkler| OR: 61| CD

10/1

Veteran who hasn't won for 19 runs, finishing fourth of 12 in 6f handicap at Ripon (11/2) 15 days ago, racing near side and staying on with headgear back on. Does need everything to fall right.

Form: 9-76304

(7)

Papa Cocktail²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Herrington| OR: 61| D

15/2

Hasn't won for thirteen runs but showed promise when narrowly beaten (by a nose) in a 6f handicap at Redcar in May. Fifth of 8 in 6f handicap at Yarmouth (9/4) 23 days ago, racing freely early. Clearly capable off current mark but becoming somewhat frustrating.

Form: 760265

Wilde And Dandy¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: I Furtado| OR: 61| C

12/1

Course winner who added 2 further AW wins to his tally towards end of 2024. Ran below form when seventh of 10 here over 7f (11/1) 19 days ago, making headway before weakening. Drop back to 6f could suit on that evidence.

Form: 973767

(5)

Rift Valley⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 62

18/1

Modest in handicaps, finishing fourth of 8 at this C&D (20/1) 7 days ago when hood discarded. Probably needs more help from the handicapper.

Form: 3-44804

(11)

Ishe Worth Agamble^p,t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56| CD

7/1

Won at this C&D and also at Leicester in recent month. Third of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (17/2) 18 days ago, making good headway after being steadied at the start. Drying ground in his favour.

Form: 0-13313

(9)

Bust A Moon¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charlie Bennett| T: I W McInnes| OR: 60

50/1

Got off the mark in a 5f seller at Beverley in May and followed up with a close second in a 5f handicap at Chepstow. Ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (40/1) 19 days ago, taking a strong hold and weakening.

Form: 712359

(6)

Madame Fenella²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: D Shaw| OR: 47| D

25/1

Showed little on AW before returning to turf and finishing third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 27 days ago. Slow starting remains a concern. Without a win in 15 races.

Form: 9-75963

(8)

Fumbleinthejungle²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Mark Winn| T: J Riches| OR: 45

100/1

Last of 10 at Thirsk (66/1) 28 days ago when reluctant to race in visor now removed.

Forecasts

Captain Vallo (4/1), Sugar Baby (9/2), Raft Up (9/2), Ishe Worth Agamble (7/1), Papa Cocktail (15/2), South Shore (17/2), Roundhay Park (10/1), Wilde And Dandy (12/1), East Tyrone (16/1), Rift Valley (18/1), Madame Fenella (25/1), Bust A Moon (50/1), Fumbleinthejungle (100/1)

RAFT UP won over C&D recently and ran well when second at Ripon, disadvantaged by racing in a smaller group. He's fancied to continue the good work at the chief expense of the reliable Captain Vallo. Sugar Baby completes the shortlist.
