The Good Biscuit¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Hart| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 85| CD

17/2

Back in fine form this summer and gained a third win over C&D last month, a fourth course success of his career. However, looks high enough in the weights now given his subsequent run at Thirsk.

Kodiac Thriller^p¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Walford| OR: 83| D

33/1

Twice a winner this year, including over 5f at York in July. However, struggled both starts since, albeit in a higher grade.

Alpha Capture^b¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: D Tudhope| T: Roger Fell| OR: 83| D

8/1

Won at Doncaster in June. Runner-up 3 times since but found run of good form coming to a halt at York latest (not helped by his early keenness). Drops back in trip now.

Gold Queen Kindly¹³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K Stott| T: Roger Fell| OR: 84| CD

28/1

Has yet to add to his Pontefract debut success last summer but ended his time with Karl Burke with creditable placed efforts and did best of those that raced up with the pace when fourth at York on debut for this yard in May, albeit carrying head a bit awkwardly.

Form: 4-90234

Woodstock^v²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: O J Orr| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 81| D

10/3

Arrives in decent heart, building on some in-frame efforts to snap a 2-year losing run in a big field at Ripon. Good third at Thirsk next time despite having an interrupted run so he remains of strong interest.

Gentle George^p1⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: R M Smith| OR: 82| D

40/1

Successful twice for Mick Appleby last year but little impact for current yard this season. Gelded since last run and headgear also applied.

Form: 16-0099

Rare Change^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 80| CD

14/1

Returned to form in refitted cheekpieces when narrow winner at Goodwood (7f, soft) in June but hasn't kicked on since, his latest effort the worst of the campaign.

Bell Shot^p⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| D

33/1

Recorded a ninth win of his career at Southwell on New Year's Day. Now 4 lb below that winning mark but needs to shrug off a poor display at Beverley.

Stanley Spencer^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: O McSweeney| T: Fionn McSharry| OR: 80| D

200/1

Multiple all-weather winner but well held back on turf for new yard last 2 starts.

Go Vince Go²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 77| D

12/1

A 3-time winner at 2 yrs who has made the frame on several occasions this season. Posted another solid effort when close third at Carlisle 4 weeks ago but he's drawn widest here.

Form: 804393

Utmost Respect¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 76

25/1

Landed the odds in 5f maiden last summer and made the frame in nurseries on last 2 starts of the campaign. Still working his way back after a long absence this season, never a threat when mid-field at York 18 days ago.

Form: 1044-00

Arduis Invicta¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Pyle| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 75| D

7/1

Not the easiest to predict but handicapper has been quick to relent and she took advantage with a narrow success at Doncaster 11 days ago. Able to race off the same mark so big chance if able to back that up.

Form: 624091

Mister Sox^p²³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 71| BF| CD

6/1

Enjoyed a productive 2025 with 4 victories, including over C&D. Mixed record this season but recent efforts have been more encouraging.

Form: 200553

Fiscal Policy⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Joanna Mason| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 70| CD

11/4

Enhanced his very good record at Pontefract with a narrow win over C&D last week and obvious claims off the same mark.

Forecasts

Fiscal Policy (11/4), Woodstock (10/3), Mister Sox (6/1), Arduis Invicta (7/1), Alpha Capture (8/1), The Good Biscuit (17/2), Big Fun (10/1), Diamont Katie (10/1), Go Vince Go (12/1), Rare Change (14/1), Utmost Respect (25/1), Gold Queen Kindly (28/1), Bell Shot (33/1), Kodiac Thriller (33/1), Gentle George (40/1), Stanley Spencer (200/1)

The in-form WOODSTOCK was third in a better race than this at Thirsk last time despite having an interrupted run, so he gets the nod over Fiscal Policy and Arduis Invicta, who both escape a penalty for their recent wins.
