Age: 4|  Weight: 9-12| J: Owen Lewis(5)| T: R A Teal| OR:  73| D
Had a remarkable start to the season, completing a hat-trick in good style in May/June. May have found the subsequent rise in the weights too much when only ninth of 13 in handicap at York (16.3f, good) 3 weeks ago. Takes a drop back in grade here.

Landed a third success of the season at Carlisle in July by 8½ lengths from Laravie. Can probably have run excused when only beating one home in York handicap (16.3f, good) 3 weeks ago. More required off this mark.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-12| J: Jake Dickson(5)| T: Jack Jones| OR:  73| D
Successful twice over hurdles and on Flat during 2025 and has continued in good form under both codes this year. 3/1, good neck second of 3 to Campeona in handicap at Lingfield (16.3f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Should go well again.

Mio Amico94
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-7| J: Alfie Redman(7)| T: Michael Keady| OR:  68
Successful on the all-weather at Lingfield and Chelmsford this season and also a good second at Kempton after the latter before possibly going off the boil on his last 2 starts. Has a 3-month absence to overcome and is yet to prove effective on turf.

Age: 7|  Weight: 9-7| J: Mason Paetel| T: James Owen| OR:  68| D
Completed a hat-trick once stepped up to staying trips in this sphere at Pontefract in June. Finished well held in first-time blinkers when last of 3 at Lingfield (16.3f, good to firm, 5/1) 13 days ago. The visor goes back on and no surprise if bouncing back.

Free World10(ex 5)
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-4| J: Ryan Kavanagh| T: Ian Williams| OR:  60| D
Quiet start for Ian Williams but made the most of a drop in class/falling mark when justifying strong support at Catterick (2m) last week. Value for even more than 7-length margin so follow-up claims look obvious under 5 lb penalty.

Age: 6|  Weight: 8-10| J: Myla Coppins(5)| T: A W Carroll| OR:  57| D
Recorded 4 successes this season with the last 2 of those having come under this rider, the latest in 7-runner handicap at Lingfield (16.3f, firm) 23 days ago. Back up in grade and is entitled to give another good account from this potentially lenient mark on the turf.

Forecasts

Free World (11/8), The Craftymaster (4/1), An Bradan Feasa (6/1), Rogue Empire (13/2), Laravie (10/1), Tarbat Ness (12/1), Mio Amico (12/1)

Verdict

FREE WORLD finally put it all together to open his account from a falling mark last time and stands out here at the weights. An Bradan Feasa continues in good heart and should be thereabouts once more while The Craftymaster can't be dismissed from this mark on the pick of his efforts.

  1. Free World5/4
  2. An Bradan Feasa4/1
  3. The Craftymaster11/2
