Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 79| D

40/1

Landed the odds in 5f maiden last summer and made the frame in nurseries on final 2 starts of the campaign. Gelded prior to July's return at this course but went with no encouragement and, whilst booking of useful 5 lb claimer helps, he remains opposable unless market speaks firmly in his favour.

Kinnalargy⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 78| DWS

8/1

Novice winner at Redcar last year, when also third in minor event at Thirsk behind a couple now rated 100+. Hasn't gone on as expected in handicaps this year, though and whilst yard has been in good form of late, hopes very much rest on a recent breathing operation finally unlocking his potential.

Form: 74-0574

Call To Action^b²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 77| D

10/1

Lightly raced and consistent performer who has found only a single rival too good on 3 of his 4 starts this year, arguably unlucky not to win when beaten a ½ length by Shazani in 10-runner event at Beverley on latest, slowly away and then hampered 2f out. In the mix for minor honours.

Form: 41-2922

Sports Coach²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Russell| T: A Brittain| OR: 77| D

14/1

Runner-up at Newcastle in June and over C&D in July. Continued in good form when close fourth of 5 to Rosenpur at Redcar last month. This looks more competitive, though, and a career best will be needed if he's to resume winning ways.

Form: 698224

Explosive Finnish⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Joe Leavy| T: K Frost| OR: 78| CD

5/1

Confirmed promise from earlier in the year when winning extended 5f handicap at this course in July by a head from Dolos Dream. A 6 lb rise demands further progress but there's every chance he has that in his locker given his age and overall profile. Of serious interest.

Parisiac^p¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 77| D

28/1

Resumed with success at Hamilton (5f) in June. Runner-up on next 2 starts and excuses on both outings since. On a handy mark and entitled to be in the mix if back to his best and granted a bit more luck.

Form: 8-12208

True Promise¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁵⁾| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 77| D

66/1

Scored at Wolverhampton (5f) in May but below that form on last 3 starts and remains winless on turf.

Havana Rum²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76| D

4/1

Placed on 3 of last 4 starts, 1¼ lengths second of 9 to The Good Biscuit at Pontefract on latest. Remains on same mark (his last winning one) and very much entitled to be thereabouts.

Form: 953382

Little Mi Mi¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 76| D

28/1

Much improved performer this year, recording her fifth success in 11-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) in August. Ran respectably off revised mark when 1¾ lengths third of 13 to Lethal Nymph at Newcastle last time. Further progress needed and high draw to overcome.

Form: 104113

Curious Rover³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 76| D

16/1

Back to winning ways when seeing off 10 rivals at Ayr (5f, firm) in July. Failed to repeat that effort from 5 lb higher mark and back up in grade last time and likely to prove vulnerable if attempting to adopt usual front-running tactics in a race this competitive.

Form: 444714

Duran^v1¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 75| CD

25/1

Fourteen runs since his last win in 2025 and little encouragement to be gleaned from last 3 starts. Wears first-time visor.

Form: 20-5000

Vingegaard^v1³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Ryan Sexton| T: P T Midgley| OR: 75| D

40/1

Bounced back to form under more positive tactics with success in 11-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f) in June. Below form at Goodwood since, though, and probably best watched now making debut for a new yard. Visor replaces blinkers.

Copper Knight^t¹⁷

Age: 12| Weight: 9-6| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 74| CD

11/1

Admirable veteran who showed an excellent attitude when adding to his tally at Beverley in May. More miss than hit since and, while he's clearly well handicapped, it's tough to see him landing an eighth success at this track.

Form: 106909

Managing Director²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 74| D

13/2

Forward-going type whose sole success came at Thirsk as a juvenile. Left Bryan Smart/off 21 months prior to return but has looked as good as ever this summer, most recently when second of 9 at Thirsk (5f, good) just over a fortnight ago. Wide stall to overcome but fancied to feature.

Form: 018/532

Roach Power⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: M Wigham| OR: 73| D

80/1

Won 5 times over the minimum trip in 2025. Hasn't fired so far this season, though, and looks opposable unless market speaks firmly in his favour.

Form: 097407

Kanishka²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72

50/1

In good form without winning this season over 7f/1m for Brian Ellison. Seemed unsuited by the drop to sprint distances for new yard at Goodwood and Newbury on last 2 outings. Hard to make a case for him.

Form: 443600

Bonnie's Boy¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71| D

16/1

Best form to date has come on the all-weather, though not disgraced when in frame in turf handicaps on last 2 starts, 2½ lengths third of 8 to Come On Over at Redcar on latest.

Form: 49-4043

(2)

Oriental Prince¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 69| D

10/1

A 7-time winner in 2025 (6 victories on all-weather). Got back on track returned to 5f when second of 11 at Hamilton in August but typically followed that with a below-par run there last time.

Form: 074826

Harb³^{(ex 8)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Rowan Scott| T: T Davidson| OR: 61| D

18/1

Won at Beverley 9 days ago and then followed up under a penalty at Newcastle just 4 days later, beating Speeding Bullet by 1¼ lengths. Must defy a double-penalty if he’s to land a quick-fire hat-trick here and overcome a high draw. Others preferred.

Form: 045211

Maharajas Express⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: D Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68| D

28/1

Strong-travelling sort who found the gaps coming just in time when scoring with a bit up his sleeve at Chester in late-July and quickly got back on track when ¾-length second of 9 to South Shore at Sandown last time. This requires more, but likely to be suited by the way the race develops.

Form: 796182

Tanjen¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| BF| D

20/1

A dual 5f scorer in 2025 and after a low-key start to this season, proved as good as ever when capitalising on a lower turf mark in a 7-runner handicap at Hamilton in August. Went close off same mark over same C&D 26 days ago but rated 6 lb higher now.

Forecasts

Havana Rum (4/1), Explosive Finnish (5/1), Managing Director (13/2), Kinnalargy (8/1), Oriental Prince (10/1), Call To Action (10/1), Copper Knight (11/1), Ventura Express (12/1), Sports Coach (14/1), Bonnie's Boy (16/1), Curious Rover (16/1), Harb (18/1), Tanjen (20/1), Duran (25/1), Maharajas Express (28/1), Parisiac (28/1), Little Mi Mi (28/1), Vingegaard (40/1), Utmost Respect (40/1), Kanishka (50/1), True Promise (66/1), Roach Power (80/1)

EXPLOSIVE FINNISH arrives on an upward curve and is taken to defy a 6 lb rise for his course success in July. Managing Director has progressed with each run since returning from a long layoff and rates the chief danger despite his high draw, while Havana Rum and Call To Action are both on workable marks and look best of the rest.
