Kats Bob⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: William Pyle| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 74| CD

4/1

Three-time C&D winner who tasted success 5 times in 2025. Not added to his tally this season but he arrives having ran creditably when third at Southwell (6f) 9 days ago, setting a sound pace against a thriving pair. Can be competitive again.

Logi Bear^p⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Mikey Sheehy| T: J Butler| OR: 75| D

9/1

Went the wrong way for Richard Hannon last year but back in better form for new yard this summer, doubling his career tally at Lingfield (6f) in August. Excuses when last of 7 at Epsom sole outing since and his stable remains in good form ahead of this.

Acclaimed Freedom^b1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D Egan| T: George Scott| OR: 74

11/2

All-weather novice winner last summer who has improved a little following a gelding operation, second behind Fizzy Cristal at Wolverhampton (6f) prior to making the frame on both starts since. Should give another good account with blinkers now replacing cheekpieces.

Yorkshire Glory²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 73| CD

10/1

Topped off a remarkable winter when recording his ninth win of the campaign over C&D in March. Shaped as if needing first start for 5 months at Redcar 27 days ago and this 7-time C&D winner can be expected to fare better back here with that under his belt.

Emperor Caradoc⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: D Nolan| T: P T Midgley| OR: 72| D

5/1

Caught the eye with his finishing effort at Ripon on penultimate start and he duly built on that when defying reduced mark at Redcar (5f) 9 days ago, keeping on well to lead late on. Step back up to 6f will hold no fears and shortlisted from 4 lb higher.

Fizzy Cristal⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Warren Fentiman⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70| CD

17/2

Dual C&D winner who proved at least as good as ever having edged back down to last winning mark when resuming winning ways at Wolverhampton (6f) 55 days ago, by neck from Acclaimed Freedom. Record here stands at 211 and possibilities from 3 lb higher mark.

The Green Man^t,v¹⁰⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: K Stott| T: P A Kirby| OR: 69| CD

17/2

Recorded three wins here last year (twice over C&D) and largely consistent in defeat during first half of 2026. Disappointed on 2 of his 3 starts on turf thereafter but return to all-weather an obvious plus from sliding mark back down in trip.

Form: 233046

Roaring Ralph^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 68

50/1

Thriving earlier this year with 5 wins from February to June. However, looks to have gone off the boil in recent months and others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 307500

Great⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: O J Orr| T: S England| OR: 67| D

10/3

Successful twice this summer, latterly at Pontefract (5f) in August and back to that sort of form when posting a good third back at that venue (6f) last week. Each-way possibilities again back on all-weather.

Form: 317633

(3)

Supreme Lillia¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 63

40/1

Encouraging third of 7 in a 7f novice here on debut last November. Below that level in pair of starts during the spring, not knocked about when fifth of 6 on qualifying run at Thirsk (1m) in April. Market should guide now handicapping over shorter trip.

Form: 3-65

Bellagio Man^b¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 60| CD

33/1

Not straightforward but refitted with blinkers when landing back-to-back C&D handicaps last October. Has yet to fire confined to just 3 outings so far this season and he looks best watched until displaying more positive signs.

Forecasts

Great (10/3), Kats Bob (4/1), Emperor Caradoc (5/1), Acclaimed Freedom (11/2), Goyard (6/1), Fizzy Cristal (17/2), The Green Man (17/2), Logi Bear (9/1), Yorkshire Glory (10/1), Bellagio Man (33/1), Supreme Lillia (40/1), Roaring Ralph (50/1)

Having caught the eye on his penultimate start, EMPEROR CARADOC fully confirmed the promise of that run when getting on top late on over 5f at Redcar 9 days ago. He ought to be highly competitive again on the back of a 4 lb rise with the return to 6f a likely plus. Kats Bob and Fizzy Cristal are others to consider, along with Acclaimed Freedom.
