11/4

Landed hurdle and AW Flat wins in June. Didn't get the breaks in a big-field handicap on Galway last month and treated as if still in good form. Much respected under Derek O'Connor.

50/1

Useful performer in France but hasn't come close to that level since joining this yard, including back in France at the beginning of the year. First outing in 5 months. Could only consider if backed.

5/1

Third 1½m win of 2025 when accounting for 6 rivals at Thirsk (good to firm) last month. Good fourth of 8 in handicap (11/8) at Catterick 17 days ago, left with lot to do. Merits consideration.

Roland Garros⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr Fletcher Yarham| T: Hayley Burton| OR: 67

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in 1¼m course handicap in July (only start for Kevin Philippart de Foy). Probably best watched for another new yard.

Form: 47-367

Ribble River⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Henry Callan⁽⁵⁾| T: K A Ryan| OR: 66| D

Spartan Times¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Mr Jamie Neild| T: J Candlish| OR: 61

7/4

In cracking form this summer, scoring over hurdles in June and successful on 3 of 4 Flat starts since. Had 5½ lengths to spare under Jamie Neild at Ripon (11f) last week and a 5 lb penalty may not stop him if in a similar mood.

Form: 561121

Innse Gall^p¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr Shay Halton⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 65

33/1

Cheekpieces on first time, good 6¾ lengths third of 9 to Spartan Times in handicap at Ripon (11f, good to firm, 8/1) 10 days ago. That was a bit more encouraging but he has his work on to turn the tables.

Form: 798-673

Destinado^v³²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Miss Teagan Padgett⁽⁵⁾| T: James Owen| OR: 65| D

Successful at Doncaster in March. Plenty of creditable efforts since but latest last of 7 at Chester wasn't one of them.

Course winner. Last of 6 in handicap (40/1) at Sandown (1¼m, good) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for the first time in a bid to spark a revival.

John Locke^p,t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 10-9| J: Roisin Leech⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 61

Creditable second of 6 in handicap (12/1) at Leicester (1½m, good to firm) in July only a respectable seventh at Kempton since.

Bloodhound^b,t⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Miss Megan Jordan| T: S Lycett| OR: 53

22/1

Remains a maiden after 16 starts but latest 1½m course second shows he can be competitive from his basement mark.

Form: 60-2652

Yurinov¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Miss Amy Milburn⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 52

150/1

Seemingly only modest these days, finishing well held back in Britain after a spell in France when last of 8 at Catterick 18 days ago.

Spartan Times (7/4), Pralognan (11/4), Made All (5/1), Ribble River (8/1), Dibble Dabble (17/2), Destinado (16/1), John Locke (22/1), Bloodhound (22/1), Roland Garros (33/1), Innse Gall (33/1), Mass Consumption (40/1), Speechman (50/1), Contrast (80/1), Yurinov (150/1)

The thriving SPARTAN TIMES had plenty in hand at Ripon under Jamie Neild last week and the pair can go in again. Tony Martin's Pralognan had an excuse at Galway last time and may provide the chief threat ahead of the thriving Made All.
