Alpha Capture^b¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁵⁾| T: Roger Fell| OR: 82| D

11/4

Landed 7f Doncaster handicap in June. Has continued in good form and looked an unlucky loser when second of 6 in claimer at Chester 10 days ago, just failing having conceded first run. Weighted to go close back in handicap company.

Form: 621202

Obelix¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-3| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 81| D

4/1

Back to winning ways at Wetherby (7f) in June but not in same form in handicaps at Chester and Thirsk on his last 2 runs. Bounce back is needed.

Form: 9-01550

Bell Shot^p¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| CD

13/2

A 3-time C&D winner, including in this 12 months ago. Good second of 4 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Back up in trip now and a likely player with usual cheekpieces back on.

Form: 638342

Highland Olly¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 78| BF| CD

8/1

Gained a third win this year over C&D in July. Found good run of form coming to a halt when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chester 18 days ago. The sort to bounce back.

Form: 104217

Glenfinnan^h¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: D Tudhope| T: M Dods| OR: 78| CD

5/1

Ended a long losing run over C&D in May. In good nick subsequently until twelfth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 11 days ago when going freely. Can get back on track.

Style Of Life^t⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: H Bethell| OR: 75

20/1

Bagged handicaps (at up to 1m) at Chester and Pontefract last June. Off 10 months before beating only one in 22-runner handicap at York (7f, good) on reappearance in May. Usual tongue tie is reapplied after another break.

Form: 61125-0

Tattie Bogle^p⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: C Johnston| OR: 74| CD

11/2

Recorded second win of the season over C&D in June. Has finished runner-up 3 times since, latest when clear of rest (in first-time cheekpieces) in all-weather handicap at Lingfield (7f) 4 days ago. Can go well again off an unchanged mark.

Form: 212722

Flying Fletcher¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

12/1

Scored at Newcastle (1m) in January but his more recent form is not so encouraging, just sixth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good) 14 days ago. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 574376

(7)

Beyond The Bar¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| D

11/1

Back to winning ways when making all at Catterick (7f) in July. Came in last of 5 in handicap at Ripon (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago though. Not proving easy to catch right.

Form: 6-77515

(6)

Homestrait^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 71| BF| D

15/2

Gained a deserved victory in 7f handicap at Carlisle in July. Backed it up with a solid fourth of 7 at Redcar (1m, good) 14 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up once more.

Form: 422314

(8)

Intervention^h¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Appleby| OR: 64| D

33/1

Last year's Great St Wilfrid winner who has largely struggled despite a tumbling mark on turf in recent months. Others appeal more.

Form: 008770

Forecasts

Alpha Capture (3/1), Bell Shot (4/1), Tattie Bogle (5/1), Homestrait (5/1), Highland Olly (10/1), Beyond The Bar (12/1), Glenfinnan (14/1), Obelix (14/1), Flying Fletcher (14/1), Style Of Life (20/1), Intervention (33/1)

ALPHA CAPTURE looked unlucky not to double his tally for 2026 when runner-up in a Chester claimer last time and can make amends off a lenient-looking mark now back in handicap company. Bell Shot took this contest in 2024 and is feared most on the back of a good Pontefract second, although in-form duo Tattie Bogle and Homestrait can also play a prominent role in this competitive handicap.
