Keldeo²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Russell| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 69| BF| D

16/1

Catterick scorer in April and largely in good form since, cheekpieces back on when second of 9 at Beverley in June. Not so good at Chester when 3½ lengths ninth of 11 to Maharajas Express at Chester last month so needs to get back on track returned to 6f.

Travel Agent³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 69| CD

6/1

Has improved for new yard this year, recording back-to-back wins on the all-weather in April (including over C&D). Mixed record since, never involved under a sympathetic ride having been easy to back at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) on latest. Returns to 6f and market support should be noted.

Tiger Tulip⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: H Main| OR: 69| CD

12/1

Won back-to-back 6f turf handicaps in better company last summer. Generally operating below best at present though, and the handicapper has given her a chance ahead of this return from a 10-week break.

Form: 402-968

Maharajas Express²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: Ian Williams| OR: 67| C| D

12/1

Took a few runs to find his feet this campaign and resumed winning ways in 11-runner event at Chester (5f, good to firm) just over 3 weeks ago, the gaps coming just in time to score with a bit up his sleeve. 3 lb higher here and dangerous to rule out granted a similar setup.

Bill Plumb^p,t¹¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: P S McEntee| OR: 67| CD

25/1

Successful twice at Yarmouth last season and ran well when close third at Newcastle on final outing of 2025. Not been in same form all 3 starts this season and can only be watched at present.

Form: 613-686

Hectic^p¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: S Donohoe| T: L Bailey| OR: 67| D

4/1

Yet to get his head in front this year but fared a bit better from easing mark back on all-weather when third of 10 at Southwell (6f) 11 days ago. Needs to build on that here.

Dicko The Legend²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 67| CD

3/1

Slow starter but looked unlucky not to win at Southwell in April. Wasn't disgraced in first-time cheekpieces attempting to York handicap for the third year running when sixth of 21 just over 3 weeks ago, faring best of those held up. Interesting now below his last winning mark.

Style King^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 65| BF| CD

5/2

Returned to best form when landing 11-runner event over C&D early last month, a positive ride suiting him ideally. Followed that with an equally good effort in defeat when second of 10 at Lingfield (6f) just under a fortnight ago and no reason why he won't be in the mix again.

In The City^v1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex| OR: 63

80/1

Competitive in maidens/novices last summer but tailed off all 3 starts this season. A visor replaces the cheekpieces worn last time but he's of no interest on all-weather bow.

Form: 323-450

(7)

Blue Force^h⁸⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 61| C

25/1

Course winner but he's not the easiest to catch right and was well beaten when last seen here (5f) in May. Handicapper given him a squeak and worth noting he's gone well when fresh previously.

Form: 856369

Style King (5/2), Dicko The Legend (3/1), Hectic (4/1), Travel Agent (6/1), Tiger Tulip (12/1), Maharajas Express (12/1), Keldeo (16/1), Blue Force (25/1), Bill Plumb (25/1), In The City (80/1)

A few in with chances but STYLE KING arrives at the top of his game and reunited with Silvestre de Sousa, Chris Dwyer's 4-y-o can notch his third career success. Maharajas Express had a bit in hand when getting up late at Chester last month, so he could emerge as the main danger, while Dicko The Legend has dropped to a handy mark so completes the shortlist.
