Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Matthew Slater⁽³⁾| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 70| BF| D

14/1

Speedy type who got off the mark for the season at Nottingham in June. Ran one of his lesser races when eighth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good) 26 days ago so bounce back is needed.

Form: 321358

Fiscal Policy¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Vigors| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70| CD

9/4

Back to winning ways over C&D in June and arrives in good nick, racing wide when fifth of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Also took this in 2024 so needs considering from an easing mark.

Form: 200635

Bloodsweatandtyres^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: K S McHugh⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 70

25/1

Got back on track in first-time blinkers when sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 15 days ago. Not ruled out in a bid to double his tally here with few miles still on the clock.

Form: 1-00506

Alpha Magic⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: C Horgan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 70| D

9/1

Successful at Hamilton (6f) last summer but arrives under a cloud and failed to beat a rival in 21-runner handicap at York (6f, good) in July. Has plenty to prove after a break.

Form: 0-48000

Irish Nectar^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Charlie Tucker⁽⁵⁾| T: M Herrington| OR: 67| D

10/3

Without a win in 20 starts but has posted solid efforts to make the frame in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Kempton recently. Not out of things, especially if the rains come.

Form: 404943

Beauty Choice¹²³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Shay Farmer| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 66| CD

14/1

C&D scorer but his last success came in 2024 and was well below best when tenth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) when last seen in May. Others are preferred.

Form: 70-4400

(2)

Good Karma^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Bradnam⁽⁵⁾| T: J Riches| OR: 61

4/1

In excellent form since fitted with cheekpieces and scored at Wolverhampton (7f) in June. Forced strong gallop for a long way when a close third of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. A bold showing is on the cards from an unchanged mark here.

Form: 412343

Uncertainty⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Olivia Haines⁽³⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 61

40/1

Remains a maiden (previously trained by Richard Hannon) and hasn't threatened for her current yard in 2026. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 879760

Ideal Guest^h⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall| T: H Bethell| OR: 59| CD

11/1

Ended a losing sequence over C&D in June but he's failed to build on it in a pair of 6f/7f handicaps at Catterick since. Needs to take a step forward.

Form: 304154

One Of Our Own^p,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Finlay Bassett⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 58| CD

16/1

Back to winning ways at Redcar (6f) in May and largely in good form subsequently, just edged out when third of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 9 days ago. This C&D scorer merits consideration.

Form: 163653

(8)

Profiteer¹²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Mason Paetel| T: T D Easterby| OR: 55| C

33/1

Dual course scorer in October 2024. Winless since though and off 7 months before coming in last of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May. Lots more is required after another layoff here.

Form: 54050-0

Hares Bredth^t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jake Dickson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56| D

28/1

Gained a breakthrough win at Redcar (6f) in June. Not proving easy to catch right since and only sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good) 9 days ago.

Form: 717636

Fiscal Policy (9/4), Irish Nectar (10/3), Good Karma (4/1), Alpha Magic (9/1), Ideal Guest (11/1), Ingleby Archie (14/1), Beauty Choice (14/1), One Of Our Own (16/1), Bloodsweatandtyres (25/1), Hares Bredth (28/1), Profiteer (33/1), Uncertainty (40/1)

GOOD KARMA signalled he is ready to go in again when a very good recent third at Thirsk so edges the vote in this tightknit sprint. One Of Our Own also comes here in fine fettle and rates a big threat, while 2024 victor Fiscal Policy and the quite lightly-raced Bloodsweatandtyres also need considering.
