Say What You See^p1⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 77| BF| D

3/1

Has gone off at odds-on on last 2 starts, runner-up at Newcastle in May (race has worked very out well) before going one better in 4-runner handicap at Pontefract (1½m, good) on Monday. Shoulders a penalty and is fitted with first-time cheekpieces. More required again back down in trip.

Form: 1D-3521

Epictetus¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 80| D

11/1

Not scored for some time but has been knocking on the door of late, making the frame in last 7 starts, third at Lingfield (9f) on latest occasion. Should get race run to suit and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 242233

Northwest Passage²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: I Furtado| OR: 79| D

14/1

Relished testing conditions when off the mark at Salisbury (1¼m) in September prior to finding only one too good from a 9 lb higher mark at Newbury when trained by Roger Teal. Not seen to best effect under speed-favouring conditions at Ayr latest. Will want rain to come.

Form: 6412-05

Harry The Rogue²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: S Hanlon| OR: 79

33/1

Positive start for his new stable when going down by a neck in 12-runner handicap at Newcastle in March, faring best of those ridden prominently. Failed to see race out once in clear over 7f here last month and others make more appeal stepping back up markedly in trip.

Form: 26-3249

Dovey Moon²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: P D Evans| OR: 78

16/1

Won 3 times in 2025 and stepped up on reappearance when successful in 11-runner handicap (13/2) at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) 20 days ago, suited by way race developed. May get a similar set up, though is now on a career-high mark in a tougher race.

Form: 1531-71

(16)

Mafting¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: D O'Meara| OR: 78| BF| D

10/1

Doubled his tally on reappearance at Redcar (1¼m) and found only too good at Doncaster (1½m, good to firm) next time. Disappointing when fourth of 5 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm, 9/4) 13 days ago.

Form: 47-1294

(3)

Glistening Nights³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Barry McHugh| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| BF| D

7/1

Returned to winning ways at Chester (10.3f) last summer and ran well next 2 starts before form tailed off. Got back on track with a couple of placed efforts at Ripon this season, latest when second of 12 (1¼m, good) in May. Can go well again.

Form: 2390-32

(14)

Mao Shang Wong¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| D

9/2

Landed back-to-back victories over this trip at Doncaster and Newcastle in March and back to best when winning 7-runner handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) 16 days ago. Has won twice from 3 turf starts and should get the race run to suit again here. Leading claims.

Form: 110481

Beach Point^p²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W J Knight| OR: 74| BF| D

11/2

Recorded back-to-back wins over 1¼m at Sandown last summer. Made the frame on each of his 3 outings this season, fourth of 8 at Newmarket (1¼m, good to firm, 9/4) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in grade here.

Form: 755-434

(10)

Jez Bomb^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Shane Gray| T: S England| OR: 74| D

14/1

Largely consistent performer who won 4 times last season. Rare below-par effort in big-field handicap at this course 2 starts back. Creditable fourth at Carlisle 13 days ago and is back up significantly in trip here.

Form: 362304

Austrian Theory^p1¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| D

18/1

Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Mostly disappointed after his good fifth in the John Smith's Cup over C&D last summer but he's now 5 Ib below his last successful mark. Needs the cheekpieces to work.

Form: 023-597

Urban Road^b²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: A D Brown| OR: 73| D

18/1

Placed twice since returning to the turf of late but below form when fifth of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Hamilton (11f, good to firm) 28 days ago. The blinkers go back on, though this is competitive.

Form: 456235

(18)

Narmar^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J Candlish| OR: 73

50/1

Sole success last year over 1m at Ffos Las last summer and signed off for 2025 when runner-up at Windsor (1¼m). Down the field in 2 runs this season and has a bit to prove back up in trip.

Form: 1342-00

Titian¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 73| CD

33/1

Has won twice over C&D, including last June, but failed to recapture that form later in the year. May have needed the run on the back of a breathing operation when well held behind Mao Shang Wong at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) on return 16 days ago. He's received some respite from the handicapper.

Form: 65006-6

Triple Force^p¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: S H James| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 72| D

40/1

A 4-time winner in 2025 but hasn't particularly helped his chances by racing freely on both starts this season. Cheekpieces replace the visor.

Form: 2118-04

(11)

Izzari²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 70| D

66/1

Successful twice last year, his latest win coming at Newcastle (1¼m) in September. Made the frame there on reappearance but finished well held at Hamilton both starts since and it's easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 146-480

(4)

Poet's Dawn^p⁷^{(ex 4)}

Age: 11| Weight: 8-12| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| C| D

28/1

Veteran who capitalised on a career-low mark in good style at Ripon in May. Not so good next time but settled better to quickly resume winning ways at Musselburgh (9f, good to firm, 5/1) 7 days ago. Carries a penalty and Kirrane will be looking to make it perfect 3-3 on him this season.

Form: 449141

Queen Roslyn⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: B Ellison| OR: 63WS

25/1

Three wins from 7 Flat runs in 2025, the latest at Newcastle in September. Successful in mares handicap hurdle at Carlisle in March and shaped as if still in form when mid-field next start. Has had a breathing operation since and market could guide.

Forecasts

Say What You See (3/1), Mao Shang Wong (9/2), Beach Point (11/2), Glistening Nights (7/1), Mafting (10/1), Epictetus (11/1), Northwest Passage (14/1), Jez Bomb (14/1), Dawn Of Liberation (14/1), Dovey Moon (16/1), Austrian Theory (18/1), Urban Road (18/1), Queen Roslyn (25/1), Naples (25/1), Poet's Dawn (28/1), Harry The Rogue (33/1), Titian (33/1), Triple Force (40/1), Narmar (50/1), Izzari (66/1)

A typically competitive handicap for the track and those held up may get the race run to suit, with MAO SHANG WONG taken to improve his good record this year further and follow up his Beverley success. Glistening Nights could have to settle for second again, while last year's winner Dawn of Liberation heads the rest of the dangers from Epictetus.
