10th	1	6	Thequietman (G) Went backwards from a promising stable debut for David O'Meara last winter. Sold for only 2,000 gns out of that yard and went with no promise for new connections at Hamilton (1½m, soft) latest.	998P00	Amie Waugh S Waugh	5	61.2kg	34 33/1
6th	2	10	Lesley's Boy (G) V Eighteen runs since last win in 2024. Found some form in pair of 6f Hamilton handicaps last month, latterly when 1½-length second to a next-time-out winner in this grade. Handles conditions and worth…	588426	O J Orr R A Fahey	4	61.2kg	6.50 11/2
3rd	3	2	Big Apple Jack (G) First-time blinkers added when belatedly off the mark in a 13-runner handicap at Hamilton last month. That form has taken a few knocks, however, continued in good heart when ¾-length second at Ripon …	542143	Billy Garritty M & D Easterby	4	61.2kg	3.75 11/4
1st	4	4	Launch Time (G) FAV B Bidding for his third big-field handicap of the season when smooth-travelling second at Bellewstown (1m) in August. Well worth another chance following a forgivable first try sprinting at Laytown lat…	317261	H Crouch Cian Hughes	4	59.9kg	3 2/1
4th	5	1	Saxon Prince (G) T Fair maiden on all-weather for Clive Cox. Ran his best race for present yard (second start on turf) when beaten 3 lengths over C&D (soft) last time. Unlikely to benefit from such a strongly-run race …	260964	Jason Hart J & S Quinn	3	59.4kg	5.50 9/2
2nd	6	9	Head For Freedom (G) Sole success came in a Beverley claimer on second start in May 2025. Emerged with some credit when beaten 8¾ lengths off his tumbling mark at Redcar (7f) last time. More testing conditions an unknown…	945882	P Mulrennan M & D Easterby	3	58.1kg	13 12/1
8th	7	5	Thunder Rush (G) P Lightly-raced 3-y-o from a family that connections know well. Tighter in the betting/failed to improve on handicap bow at Newcastle (1m) latest. First-time cheekpieces added for turf debut and on a l…	57078	T Eaves T Coyle & K Wood	3	56.7kg	15 14/1
7th	8	3	Bossy Parker (G) Ended a long losing run in classified event at Wolverhampton in March. Should be straighter for his 7-length fourth on return there (7f) last time. P.J. McDonald at least a positive jockey booking fo…	251444	P J McDonald T Culhane & S Barclay	6	55.8kg	19 18/1
9th	9	7	Fair Isle Sioux (M) Lightly-raced 6-y-o from an up-and-coming yard (primarily National Hunt). Sent off at long odds and no form in a variety of events to date, though.	5/65800	Rhys Elliott A Nicol	6	54.9kg	126 125/1
5th	10	8	Long Shot (G) P Maiden who placed for the fourth time in handicaps when 1¼-length third at Southwell (6f) latest. That form has some substance, however, stamina to prove tackling 7f for the first time away from quic…	404753	D Fentiman T D Easterby	3	54kg	23 22/1
