Collecting Coin²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: George Wood| T: J Candlish| OR: 79

10/1

Fairly useful 7f winner at his best. Cheekpieces on and not disgraced with sixth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (7f) last month on final run for Jessica Harrington. Needs considering dropped in grade for new yard.

Form: 5-54306

Highland Olly²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 78| D

3/1

Gained a third win this year in 8-runner handicap at Beverley three weeks ago. That form has been very well advertised since so merits serious consideration nudged up 2 lb.

Form: 110421

Woodstock^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 75| D

7/2

Nineteen runs since his last win in 2024 and he may have spurned a good opportunity in a first-time visor when second of 4 in handicap at Catterick (7f) 10 days ago, finding less than looked likely.

Form: 6-73462

(5)

Quiet Resolve¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: A D Brown| OR: 72| D

22/1

Made a winning return for current yard at Hamilton in May and has continued in decent form, fourth of 5 in handicap there (1m) two weeks ago. Not dismissed.

Form: 36-1264

(2)

Cool Molly²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 78

3/1

Registered her fourth all-weather success at Southwell (7f) in April. Better than her recent form figures suggest, having worst of the draw here four weeks ago. Much better berthed this time and not without interest down in grade off a lenient-looking mark.

Form: 113068

(8)

Law Of Design¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ryan Kavanagh⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68

28/1

On a losing sequence but not disgraced with fifth of 10 in 7f handicap here 15 days ago given he wasn't ideally placed. Possibilities from a slipping mark.

Form: 90-8595

(4)

Giant¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 65| D

15/2

It's now seventeen runs since his last win in 2025 but he recorded a good third of 9 in handicap over C&D two weeks ago. In the mix.

Form: 002423

(6)

Supreme Clarets¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J F Egan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 65

6/1

Still a maiden but comes here on the back of a solid second of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (7f) 16 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 6-74922

Forecasts

Cool Molly (3/1), Highland Olly (3/1), Woodstock (7/2), Supreme Clarets (6/1), Giant (15/2), Collecting Coin (10/1), Quiet Resolve (22/1), Law Of Design (28/1)

This is wide open so it could be worth siding with COOL MOLLY who hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green of late but is handily placed in stall 2 here and now figures on an attractive mark. Highland Olly is an obvious danger in his bid for a fourth success of 2026, while Supreme Clarets and Collecting Coin also command plenty of respect.
