Good Heavens²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 84| D

6/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (25/1) at Pontefract (8f, soft) 20 days ago, well on top finish. Likely to find life tougher off 7 lb higher mark here.

Form: 600-881

(8)

Ultrasoul³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 86

7/1

Made the most of a good opportunity when taking 2-runner maiden (2/9) at Kempton (7f) 35 days ago, finding extra. More on plate, back in handicap company here, but is not taken lightly.

Form: 623-231

Desperate Dan³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: N Callan| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 82| CD

7/2

Took this contest (off 10 lb lower) 12 months ago and got back on scoreboard when landing 9-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 9/2) last month. Raised 4 lb since but another bold bid seems assured.

Form: 126-061

Wolf Of Badenoch¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: S Donohoe| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 85

40/1

40/1, first run since leaving Hugo Palmer when ninth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good) 12 days ago. Up against it.

Form: 6-50999

San Juanito^v1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R Havlin| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 84

18/1

Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft, 25/1) 19 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others more convincing.

Form: 311860

Altmore²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: E Bethell| OR: 80

16/1

6/1, 15¾ lengths last of 9 to Good Heavens in handicap at Pontefract (8f, soft) 20 days ago. Others more appealing.

Transparent¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: T Ward| OR: 83| D

7/2

Respectable fifth of 15 in handicap at Newbury (8f, soft, 20/1) 18 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 533205

(7)

Garden Oasis^p²⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79| D

25/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Pontefract in August. 11¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Good Heavens in handicap at Pontefract (8f, soft, 25/1) 20 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 651457

(6)

Navagio^p,t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: James Horton| OR: 77| D

11/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Good third of 13 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft, 9/1) 15 days ago, very slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. Each-way claims.

Form: 00-5043

(2)

Straight A¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 73

16/1

9/2, ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 154 days. Claims on best form.

Form: 303229

(5)

Saytarr²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K Shoemark| T: C Fellowes| OR: 73| D

13/2

Bagged second victory of 2025 when narrowly landing 9-runner handicap (5/4) at Kempton (8f) 20 days ago, overcoming pace bias. 3 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist.

Form: 7-32151

Forecasts

Transparent (7/2), Desperate Dan (7/2), Navagio (11/2), Good Heavens (6/1), Saytarr (13/2), Ultrasoul (7/1), Altmore (16/1), Straight A (16/1), Arctic Grey (16/1), San Juanito (18/1), Garden Oasis (25/1), Wolf Of Badenoch (40/1)

Last year's winner DESPERATE DAN will be fresher than most of his rivals and arrives on back of victory at Windsor. He can take the prize home again. Saytarr and Ultrasoul are also of interest.
