Westmorian²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 80| D

40/1

Recorded a hat-trick on the all-weather last spring but lost his form after, refusing to race on final start of 2025. Shaped better when fourth at Thirsk last month, but well held at Newmarket next time.

Form: 0R-8746

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: J F Egan| T: M Wigham| OR: 79| C| D

28/1

Thrived when winning 5 times over the minimum trip in 2025. Hasn't fully fired so far this season, fourth of 6 at Windsor in June, though he now drops back down in grade having returned to his last winning mark.

Glory Hyde²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: Roger Fell| OR: 78| CD

12/1

4-time winner this season, including twice over C&D in June. Has found things tougher in big-field events at York on her last 2 starts, but the return to this venue could help.

Mythical Composer^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 78| D

28/1

Ended 2025 with success at Kempton (7f) but raced too freely when fourth of 10 over the same C&D in January. After 6 months off, was never involved when well held dropped back to 6f at Goodwood 17 days ago. This run should reveal more.

Form: 4441-40

Kats Bob^v¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: William Pyle| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 77| D

9/1

Successful 5 times in 2025. Yet to score during the current campaign but has returned to form with runner-up efforts the last twice, beaten only by one on a reduced mark at Redcar 17 days ago.

Form: 040722

Grant Wood¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: P T Midgley| OR: 77| CD

13/2

Back-to-back winner at Newcastle early in the year and has made the frame twice over C&D since, returning to form when 2 lengths fourth of 7 here 12 days ago. Winner of this race in 2024 so he could be in the mix.

Form: 830004

Woodstock^v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 76

11/2

Arrives in decent heart, again travelling well when making the frame in a class 3 at Thirsk (7f) a fortnight ago. Had shaped encouragingly when mid-field in this race last year and could be ready to get back to winning ways from what is a handy mark.

Form: 346224

Roberto Caro^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: A Keatley| OR: 76| D

11/1

Without a win so far this season but was a close fourth over C&D in April. After a couple of lesser efforts, took a step back in the right direction when 3½ lengths tenth of 17 at York (5f) 3 weeks ago. Interesting having dropped to a career-low mark.

Form: 343000

Magic Boy²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 76| BF| D

7/2

Promising return when runner-up over C&D in June and built on that at the second time of asking when landing 19-runner contest at York last month. Below-par effort back at York 22 days ago, but he's not yet fully exposed in handicaps over this trip. Worth another chance.

Form: 81-2417

Anaisa^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| CD

50/1

Kept busy at 2 yrs, winning twice including listed race over this C&D. Hasn't managed to kick on in handicaps so far this season, though possibly needed the run after 9 weeks off when mid-field at York 22 days ago.

Form: 09-4546

Go Vince Go²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

15/2

3-time winner as a juvenile who has made the frame on several occasions this season, keeping on for third in 12-runner contest at York (5.5f) 22 days ago. Can make his presence felt with return to 6f promising to suit.

Emperor Caradoc^b1¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 74| D

25/1

Off the mark for the season at Thirsk in May. Good second at Nottingham last month but has run only respectably in 2 subsequent outings, never nearer when fourth of 8 at Pontefract 10 days ago. Blinkers now replace regular cheekpieces.

Dorney Lake^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 73| D

25/1

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark at Doncaster in July and, having had excuses at York on penultimate outing, bounced back to winning ways at Southwell 9 days ago. Back up in grade here but he arrives in good heart.

Mister Sox^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| CD

10/1

Enjoyed a productive 2025 with 4 victories, including 2 over this C&D. However, his record has been mixed this season, merely closing up late when fifth of 8 at Doncaster 10 days ago.

Form: 032005

Tolstoy²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 72| D

40/1

Quirky sort who went without a win last year, but ran better than for a while when fourth of 8 at Southwell (7f) in January. After 6 months off, left poorly placed when down the field at York (6f) last time, so he's worth a market check from his reduced mark.

Form: 07-5400

(8)

Who Wants Me^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 72

33/1

Finally off the mark at Carlisle (7f) in June and followed up with a ready success dropped to 5f at Ayr. Raced in the unfavoured group when well held at York (6f) last time, though reverted to showing an awkward side under pressure.

Form: 04-6110

Vince L'Amour^b,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72| CD

66/1

Winner over 5f here in May. Had struggled for form subsequently, but with blinkers refitted he bounced back when second of 6 at Thirsk 8 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort.

Beyond Borders¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: G Tutty| OR: 71| D

28/1

Took advantage of his falling mark at Wolverhampton in June and runner-up over C&D next time. Below form on final run for Kevin & Lauren Frost, but there were more positive signs when 1¾ lengths fifth of 12 on stable debut at Southwell 19 days ago.

Form: 761265

Educating Rita²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: P A Kirby| OR: 70| D

25/1

Without a win since scoring on her handicap bow 2 years ago when trained by Michael Dods. However, she showed the benefit of seasonal/stable debut when third of 21 at York last time. On a career-low mark if able to back up latest effort.

Form: 4530-03

Mark's Choice^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Watson| T: G Tutty| OR: 67| CD

16/1

Has a remarkable Ripon record, successful 10 times at this course, and in the frame twice here this summer. Lesser effort at Doncaster last time, but returns to his favourite venue with the regular cheekpieces now reapplied.

Forecasts

Magic Boy (7/2), Woodstock (11/2), Grant Wood (13/2), Go Vince Go (15/2), Kats Bob (9/1), Mister Sox (10/1), Roberto Caro (11/1), Glory Hyde (12/1), Mark's Choice (16/1), Dorney Lake (25/1), Emperor Caradoc (25/1), Educating Rita (25/1), Mythical Composer (28/1), Roach Power (28/1), Beyond Borders (28/1), Who Wants Me (33/1), Tolstoy (40/1), Westmorian (40/1), Anaisa (50/1), Vince L'Amour (66/1)

WOODSTOCK made the frame in a better race than he need contest at Thirsk 2 weeks ago and, with the drop back in trip expected to suit, he gets the vote. Heading the list of dangers is Go Vince Go who has shaped encouragingly at York the last twice, with Roberto Caro and Magic Boy completing the shortlist.
