20th	1	4	Obelix (G) Back to winning ways at Wetherby in June and continues to hold his form, third at Beverley 17 days ago, though once again highlighting he is the sort who needs a fair bit to fall right.	550443	Olivia Haines Miss J A Camacho	6	62.6kg	15 14/1
11th	2	9	Diligent Resdev (G) V C&D winner who shaped well back from a break at Southwell 5 weeks ago, not ideally placed. Finally lower in the handicap than when winning the 2024 Ayr Bronze Cup.	6-96960	Shay Farmer M & D Easterby	5	62.1kg	9.50 17/2
8th	3	11	Magic Boy (G) Has improved again this season, landing 19-runner contest over 6f here before quickly bouncing back with an excellent close third of 20 at Ripon. Effective over 7f so on the shortlist.	241738	Alex Jary N Tinkler	4	62.1kg	12 11/1
14th	4	21	Son (G) P Just a maiden win to his name despite a sliding mark and found run of good form coming to a halt at Ascot last week.	623520	Jack Nicholls T D Easterby	5	62.1kg	10 9/1
16th	5	10	Melvin Udall (G) P Made a winning seasonal/stable debut at Doncaster in March. Below par next 3 outings but was back to form when third of 19 here (1m) last month, though seeming suited by the extra 1f.	197030	Harry Vigors G Harris	4	61.7kg	9.50 17/2
17th	6	14	King Of Fury (G) Registered back-to-back Southwell victories in July but has gone backwards since and is tough to recommend at present.	711907	Rhys Elliott M Dods	6	61.7kg	51 50/1
4th	7	20	Quest For Fun (G) T Well over a year since his last win but good placed efforts 3 of last 4 starts, including when a close second over C&D last month (rarely runs a bad race at this venue).	325244	Jake Dickson T D Easterby	8	61.7kg	10 9/1
2nd	8	16	First Time (G) V Won a 6f Newmarket maiden last summer for Harry Charlton. Largely proved consistent in handicaps for current yard this season, beaten less than a length in this headgear at Chester latest.	335442	Warren Fentiman R A Fahey	3	61.7kg	8.50 15/2
18th	9	2	Stanley Spencer (G) B Multiple all-weather winner but well held back on turf last 3 starts for new yard.	920800	K S McHugh Fionn McSharry	5	61.7kg	126 125/1
6th	10	7	Feel The Need (G) Not easy to win with lately but had signalled a return to form at Doncaster and confirmed that impression when ending losing run in comfortable fashion at Southwell 2 weeks ago. Will find this more c…	067216	Donagh Murphy M Herrington	6	61.2kg	13 12/1
19th	11	13	Big Cyril (G) Placed at listed level as a 2-y-o in 2024 but found things tough during a light 3-y-o campaign and little promise both starts for new yard after 13 months off.	6/856-09	Jack Callan Roger Fell	4	60.8kg	51 50/1
5th	12	3	King's School (G) PT Ran well back on turf when third at Ayr 3 weeks ago but seems most effective at Newcastle (all 4 career wins there).	258535	Molly Keegan-Price G Tutty	5	60.8kg	17 16/1
15th	13	12	Lord Bertie (G) H Signs of decline this season and while he's eased to a competitive mark, he seems best when conditions are testing.	069028	C Horgan D O'Meara	6	60.8kg	23 22/1
1st	14	8	Golden Strike (G) V Gained a second win of the season in big-field handicap over C&D in May. Continued in good heart until a below-par effort at Catterick 9 days ago.	175324	William Pyle R A Fahey	5	60.3kg	8 7/1
7th	15	22	Invincible Boy (C) Landed a soft-ground Pontefract novice on reappearance in April but below that form switched to handicaps since.	187507	Alfie Redman R A Fahey	3	59.9kg	34 33/1
12th	16	18	Golden Pharaoh (G) P Sole win from 23 runs came at Ffos Las last autumn. Generally struggled on the all weather early this year and was well held back from 7 months off at Southwell last week.	083007	Christian Howarth S Dixon	5	59.9kg	81 80/1
10th	17	17	Mystical Storm (G) Took advantage of the drop in class when winning his first handicap making all-weather debut at Southwell 2 weeks ago but not an obvious type to follow up back on turf.	890-631	Tom Kiely-Marshall Miss J A Camacho	4	59.9kg	15 14/1
9th	18	1	The Childe Of Hale (G) Arrives at the top of his game, winning at Redcar last month before backing that up with a good second under a penalty. Will find this harder off revised mark, though.	6-90512	Liam Wright I Furtado	4	59.9kg	17 16/1
—	19	19	Calyxoh (G) V Untrustworthy sort who has looked on the downgrade for current yard. Likely to find this too competitive.	730430	Ashley Lewis P Morris	4	59kg	34 33/1 Betfa… 41 Paddy… 41 Sky B… 41
13th	20	6	Packetofbiscuits (G) B Enjoyed a fine spell on all weather earlier in the year, recording back-to-back wins at Southwell. Bounced back to form after a quiet spell when close second at Yarmouth but only sixth back on the al…	786260	Finlay Bassett J Mackie	4	59kg	41 40/1
3rd	21	15	Tolstoy (G) FAV H Quirky sort who ended a long losing sequence (in refitted hood) in classified event at Doncaster last month (form worked out surprisingly well). Not seen to best effect back in a handicap at Ascot si…	000173	Mason Paetel B Ellison	7	59kg	5 4/1
—	22	5	Kennington (G) P Impressively landed 7f novice at Lingfield in June. Disappointed next 2 starts in handicaps but showed a lot more when mid-field at Goodwood, shaping as if a return to 7f will suit. Headgear on.	31097	Oliver Carmichael H Morrison	3	59kg	21 20/1 Sky B… 17 Betfa… 17 Paddy… 17
