22/1

Gained second win of 2026 in 6f Newmarket handicap in May. Respectable efforts on the July course there both starts since but looks vulnerable here.

Sir Garfield^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 80| D

9/1

Better than ever when bagging 6f handicaps at Catterick and Epsom (edged out Saturday's International Handicap winner) on first 2 starts this season. Not so good at Hamilton (6f) 12 days ago but remains handily weighted if back on song here.

Form: 607-116

Mythical Composer^p¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox| OR: 80| BF| D

25/1

Ended 2025 with 7f Kempton victory in December. Not disgraced with fourth of 10 in handicap there (7f) in February (raced freely) but needs to hit the ground running after 175 days off the track.

Form: 24441-4

Winchurch²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 79| D

40/1

Notched a third success from 5 starts on turf this season in 6-runner handicap at Nottingham (5f) 27 days ago. Up 4 lb in tougher race but not taken lightly in his current mood.

Under The Twilight¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Harry Davies| T: M Blake| OR: 78| D

13/2

Capitalised on a reduced mark in 12-runner handicap at Windsor (6f) 16 days ago. Pipped in the valuable C&D fillies handicap at this meeting last year and clearly of interest.

Form: 8-62441

Supreme King¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P D Evans| OR: 78| D

11/2

Bagged a third victory of 2026 at Salisbury in June. Has continued in good form, second of 6 in handicap at Chester (5.5f) 19 days ago. Enters calculations back under Oisin Murphy.

Form: 551222

Mae Amor^v²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: R Menzies| OR: 77| D

50/1

A 66/1-winner at Hamilton on return in May but below that form since, just sixth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (6f) 20 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 70-1096

(24)

Vingegaard^b⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Sexton| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 76| D

50/1

A useful juvenile for Archie Watson (missed 2025). Bounced back to form for current yard under more positive tactics with success in 11-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f) last month, just holding on. This demands another step forward though.

Form: 090361

Cashbox^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: C Hills| OR: 80| D

18/1

A dual 6f/7f nursery scorer last autumn. Advanced his form in first-time cheekpieces with second of 7 in handicap at Leicester (7f) 25 days ago, clear of rest. Blinkers back on now and not out of things.

Form: 011-072

Charlie Mason¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Myla Coppins⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 75| D

40/1

Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (6f) in June but below that form at Sandown (5f) and Wolverhampton (6f) since. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 277168

Wreck It Ryley^v¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Ray Dawson| T: A D Brown| OR: 75| D

Born Slippy²⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: R Spencer| OR: 80| D

28/1

Ffos Las scorer last summer who seemingly produced his best effort when eighth of 15 in listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar (6f) in October. Absent since and improvement needed off this mark on return.

Arduis Invicta³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T Eaves| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 80

Silver Wraith^t⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 74| BF| D

14/1

Kickstarted 2026 with victory at Bath in April. Back on track with second of 8 in handicap at Newbury (6f) 6 days ago. This is tougher but she has 2 good runs at this course under her belt.

Form: 1-12752

Rory Rocket¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jude Fernandes⁽⁷⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 74| BF| D

16/1

Looked very much on the up after a pair of 5f Brighton wins and possibly found the run coming too quickly when an odds-on third of 5 at Salisbury (6f) 18 days ago. Remains one to be interested in.

Form: 016113

(17)

Calling A Star¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: R Hughes| OR: 78| D

10/1

Progressive type now handicapping and scored at Windsor (6f) in June before a very good fourth of 11 at Newmarket (7f) 19 days ago. That race is working out and she's one to consider off an unchanged mark.

Form: 92-1714

(8)

Velvet Rhythm¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: C Johnston| OR: 77

25/1

Is enjoying an excellent season and bagged a fourth 7f win at Catterick in July. Posted another good effort with third of 6 at Newbury (7f) 11 days ago. Can't be dismissed despite dropping back in trip.

Form: 148113

(10)

Tex^p,t⁵^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 67

6/1

Finally got off the mark in 11-runner handicap at Ascot (7f) 5 days ago. Saddles a 5 lb penalty and this demands more.

Form: 33-2301

(20)

Kesta⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 76| D

66/1

Kept busy as a juvenile, winning 3 times at 5f/6f, but he has yet to hit top form in 3 runs this season. Needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 316-005

(6)

Kanishka³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Ian Williams| OR: 76

16/1

In good form without winning this season for Brian Ellison, sixth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 33 days ago. Back down in trip for new yard and cheekpieces left off.

Form: 7-34436

(3)

Lunar Melody⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| BF

9/1

Shaped well when runner-up in 7f Doncaster maiden on return but found test too much on softer ground when fifth of 11 in novice at Carlisle (7f) in May. Appeals as a likely improver back sprinting on handicap debut after a break.

Form: 5-25

(1)

Cotai Lights^b1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: A Keatley| OR: 76| D

50/1

All-weather 6f novice winner last year. Best effort this season in first-time cheekpieces when fourth at Newmarket (7f) in May but unable to land a blow back sprinting since. Blinkers go on now.

Form: 339400

Riley Rocks^t1⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K S McHugh⁽⁷⁾| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 75| D

40/1

Scored over 6f at Newcastle and Southwell on first 2 starts this year but yet to translate that form to turf, fourth of 11 to Calling A Star in handicap at Windsor (6f) last time. Gelded after and tongue strap fitted here.

Form: 4-11604

(5)

Ziggy's Condor^b1⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 70| D

16/1

A 3-time 6f winner for the Fahey yard and made an encouraging start for Adam Kirby when fifth at Yarmouth. Too free when last of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (7f) since and blinkers are reached for back down in trip.

Form: 726450

(15)

French Affair³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J Candlish| OR: 75| D

14/1

Yet to score in 2026 but has posted some very good efforts to make the frame. Ended his time with Richard Hannon with a below-par sixth at Doncaster (7f) last month but no surprise to see him bounce back for new yard with Billy Loughnane up.

Form: 254246

(25)

Fresh Fade²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 75| D

125/1

A 6f maiden winner in Ireland last summer but hasn't offered much promise in 3 handicaps for current yard this season.

RORY ROCKET looked most progressive when bagging a pair of Brighton handicaps only to fluff his lines when an odds-on third at Salisbury. That run may have come too quickly and he's well worth a chance to bounce back. Supreme King heads a big list of dangers in his bid for a fourth success of 2026, while handicap debutant Lunar Melody, Jennie Candlish's new recruit French Affair and Sir Garfield can also have a say.
