Filey Beach (G)
FAV
Won twice for this yard last year before finishing down the field in only 2 starts for Ian McInnes. Possibly needed the run after 5 months off having rejoined Carr when mid-field at Thirsk last time but others perhaps hold more pressing cl…

Invincible Melody (G)
[VT]
Came closer than ever to breaking his duck when beaten a short head at Wolverhampton in February. Underwhelming since, though, a stable switch failing to spark a revival when down the field at Thirsk (7f) last time. Visor back on.

The Gay Blade (G)
Notched back-to-back wins in Newcastle classified events (both 6f) 9 days apart in February and gained a third C&D win of the season there in an 11-runner handicap last week. As effective on turf and should go close to following up, given …

Due Respect (F)
Won at Redcar (7f) in July wearing first-time visor but ended 2025 with 2 dismal performances, so bit to prove now returning from 7 months off.

Classy Clarets (G)
Headstrong sort looked typically quirky when winning a classified stakes at Wolverhampton (6f) at the start of March and backed that up with a creditable third in a similar race at Newcastle (5f) 4 days later. Has won at 7f but step back u…

Ridgemaster (G)

Belied odds of 66/1 when winning a 13-runner 7f handicap on debut for this yard in December but finished nearer last than first on both starts since. NON RUNNER.

Without Delay (M)
Won at Catterick last summer before finishing runner-up over C&D later in season. Below-par last 2 efforts in 2025 and wasn't given too much of a hard time on return from 5-month break at Redcar last week (had breathing operation during ab…

War Memorial (G)
Showed nothing on his first 4 starts for current connections but was the subject of a notable gamble (5/1 from 50/1) and duly proved a different proposition when second in a 7f classified event at Southwell last month. Considered if in sam…

Baby Rover (F)
Opened account at Redcar (6f) in June and posted a couple of good seconds after. Shaped as if needing the run after 6-month break when ninth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (5f, good to firm, 20/1) 21 days ago but is unproven over this far,

Bernie The Bear (G)
[P]
Forty-one runs since last win in 2023. Finished 5½ lengths sixth of 11 to The Gay Blade in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (6f) 9 days ago and it's hard to see how he can turn the tables.

Gimmieminnie (M)

Ex-Irish mare remains a maiden but shaped with some encouragement when a staying-on fourth in a Wolverhampton classified event (6f) last month. Failed to build on that when ninth of 11 behind The Gay Blade in a Newcastle handicap last week…

No sign of ability in a Catterick novice and Newcastle maidens in the autumn but worth market check given his yard making handicap debut in first-time hood.
