Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
1st	1	3	Capital Guarantee (G) Dual course winner. Did well to finish close second at Beverley in April. Looked back in some form at Beverley latest and interesting now dropped in grade under good-value apprentice.	166304	C J Whiteley D O'Meara	6	61.2kg	8.50 15/2
5th	2	5	Degale (G) Free-going sort whose sole success came at Ripon in the summer of 2024. Dropped 3 lb following another below-par effort at Beverley last time, but he doesn't look in the form to capitalise.	530463	William Pyle T D Barron	5	59.9kg	10 9/1
4th	3	6	Harswell Ruby (F) FAV P Only 1 lb higher than when well-backed winner over C&D in April. Finished fourth in better York handicap prior to bouncing back in refitted headgear behind an improver at Pontefract latest. No 3-y-os…	524404	Joanna Mason Roger Fell	4	59kg	2.63 13/8
2nd	4	1	Military Leader (G) B Completed a double when making all over C&D in May and again ran well to finish clear second in a run-of-the-mill at handicap at Chester latest. Dangerous if allowed an easy lead in his current form.	222120	P J McDonald Phillip Makin	5	59kg	3.25 9/4
6th	5	4	Cosmos Raj (G) P A 3-time winner in 2025. Ended that year well below par and continued out of sorts this season. Capital Guarantee looks better fancied of yard's runners.	414182	Mark Winn D O'Meara	8	58.5kg	41 40/1
3rd	6	2	Barley (G) P Unlucky not to end long losing run at Hamilton in late-May before again shaping well in Ripon/Carlisle handicaps. Not quite in same form when third at Carlisle earlier this month, but he's weighted t…	440136	Sean Kirrane T D Easterby	7	58.1kg	5.50 9/2
