2nd	1	9	Roman Dragon (G) P 8-time course winner who won over 5f at the May meeting from 1 lb higher mark. Below best over longer trips since but could well bounce back returned to the minimum trip assuming stall 9 doesn't prov…	800967	David Probert H Palmer	7	62.1kg	15 14/1
1st	2	7	Baker Blue (G) FAV Useful sprinter who made all for both his career wins. Solid fourth in better race than this at York last month when raced freely before hanging left so this first try at this track really should sui…	263415	Edward Greatrex Dylan Cunha	3	61.2kg	4 3/1
8th	3	3	Exclamation (C) P Inconsistent performer who scored from this mark over C&D in May but below form last 2 starts. Well drawn to attack here and could well show more than he has recently with claimer taking over.	902078	O J Orr G Harris	3	59.9kg	17 16/1
5th	4	10	Tricky Tel (G) Boasts excellent Chester record with 3 course wins and finished good second of 7 here in July. Last of 19 at York 23 days ago but was poorly drawn that day. Hasn't done much better on that score here…	110205	Jack Nicholls H Palmer	3	59kg	13 12/1
3rd	5	5	Betsen (G) Won over 5f at Chepstow in May and not seen to best effect since, including when fifth of 8 at Sandown 13 days ago, shaping better than the result after 12 weeks off with headgear removed. May strip …	918539	George Wood A W Carroll	5	58.1kg	23 22/1
9th	6	2	Kodiac Thriller (G) V Twice a winner this year, including over 5f at York in July. Only ninth of 14 at Ripon in a higher grade 27 days ago but he ran well on only previous outing at this track and is well drawn to suit hi…	419900	D C Costello M Walford	5	57.6kg	8 7/1
4th	7	6	Temple Of Athena (F) P C&D winner last year who hasn't kicked on from a winning reappearance this time around and wasn't good at the start on heavy going at Beverley last time. Now tries first-time cheekpieces.	445436	Tom Kiely-Marshall B Ellison	3	57.2kg	12 11/1
6th	8	4	Manila Scouse (G) T Won at Ayr in July but has gone off the boil since with 3 subsequent poor runs. Edging back down the weights but needs to bounce back.	006002	D Allan T D Easterby	7	56.2kg	5.50 9/2
7th	9	1	Vintage Clarets (G) Won this in 2024 and claims on his second in the Epsom Dash (soft) and C&D third in June but disappointing last 2 starts. Has tumbled to an attractive mark and will be suited by any rain but hasn't b…	237667	Warren Fentiman R A Fahey	7	55.8kg	4.33 10/3
10th	10	8	Aces Wild (G) Won 3 of his last 4 starts, including when recording a second C&D success in July, defying a double-figure draw for a career-best effort. Up 4 lb and hiked in grade but hard to rule out in current he…	113107	Finley Marsh A Wintle	7	55.8kg	17 16/1
