11th	1	5	Rock Opera (G) FAV Ended a lengthy losing run minus usual visor at Pontefract (6f) in June and ran at least well when runner up over same C&D later that month. Struggled to land a blow in pair of big-field York handica…	412900	J Garritty R A Fahey	6	61.2kg	5 4/1
10th	2	11	Imperial Guard (G) Has come to life from a reduced mark here of late, completing a quick-fire Ayr hat-trick over this trip 3 weeks ago, leading before final 100 yds and just holding on. Mark has crept up a little more …	885111	S H James M Dods	5	61.2kg	6.50 11/2
1st	3	7	Documenting (G) Now firmly into the veteran stage who confirmed he retains plenty of ability with his sights lowered when just touched off in 12-runner Newbury handicap (7f) in June. Far from discredited when tenth …	95-7020	J Mitchell K Frost	13	60.8kg	6.50 11/2
12th	4	9	Bright (G) Course winner who ended 2025 with success at Newcastle (6f) in December. Yet to add to his tally in handful of starts this campaign but recent efforts on turf/all-weather haven't been without promise…	007870	Darragh Keenan D M Loughnane	6	60.3kg	15 14/1
8th	5	12	Thapa VC (G) BT Goes well here and he bounced back to form when successful over C&D on his penultimate start. Confirmed he's at the top of his game right now when readily following up at Yarmouth (7f) 18 days ago an…	325118	Toby Moore M G Rimell	8	59.9kg	12 11/1
3rd	6	6	Bella Bisbee (M) 5-y-o mare who proved as good as ever when resuming winning ways over C&D in June. Kept busy subsequently, running to a similar level when narrow second at Lingfield (7f) prior to doing too much too …	150283	Christian Howarth S Dixon	5	59.9kg	11 10/1
9th	7	1	Nyman (G) Yet to score this term but is working his way back to form from his easing mark, doing best of the hold-up horses when third in a class 4 handicap at Redcar (1m) last week. Not one to write off with …	440643	C Horgan Roger Fell	4	59.9kg	9.50 17/2
6th	8	13	Criminal Shore (G) V Raised his game after a series of unplaced efforts to belatedly get his head back in front in 12-runner event at Newcastle (1m) in June but nearer last than first in trio of turf starts since. Passed…	841060	C J Whiteley D O'Meara	4	59.9kg	23 22/1
—	9	2	Sunriseontheboyne (G) Six-time winner in Ireland for previous connections but hasn't offered much for present yard despite a tumbling mark, no upturn for an 8-month break at Hamilton (1m) 2 weeks ago.	806078	Harry Vigors B Haslam	4	59kg	21 20/1 Sky B… 17 Betfa… 17 Paddy… 17

7th	10	10	War Howl (G) Dual winner, including over C&D, last summer for Michael Appleby. Well beaten for this yard in 2026 though, last of 9 at Pontefract (1m) when last seen 39 days ago.	900009	P Mulrennan B Haslam	4	58.5kg	8 7/1
5th	11	3	The Childe Of Hale (G) P Sole success came over C&D last July but has largely struggled since, albeit hampered as race was taking shape when tenth of 12 in a handicap at Ripon (1m) in June. Return to this course/application …	1806-90	T Eaves I Furtado	4	57.2kg	17 16/1
4th	12	8	Age Of Baroque (G) Southwell winner for Marco Botti last year who produced his best effort for present stable when keeping on for second over C&D in June. Remains on a workable mark up 2 lb but a return to 1m may suit …	839452	S M Levey Jessica Macey	5	56.7kg	10 9/1

2nd	13	4	Starliner (G) P Won at Ayr (1m) in May and posted pair of solid runner-up efforts over same C&D in July. Didn't appear to have any excuses when sixth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (1m) on latest outing 2 weeks ago b…	388226	O McSweeney Miss L A Perratt	5	55.3kg	12 11/1
