[H]
11/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (8f) 33 days ago, slowly away. Enters calculations if back on his A-game.

Cloch Nua (G)
4-time course winner. 40/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 16 days ago. The sort to bounce back.

| 8th | 3 | 1 |
Rooska (G)
Not disgraced after 7 months off when seventh of 11 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 52 days ago, slowly away. Needs considering with that run under his belt.

Mapledurham (F)
FAV
Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 11/1) 39 days ago, doing too much too soon. First run for yard after leaving Rod Millman and not without interest off a handy-looking mark.

K Shoemark | E Walker | 3 | 59.4 kg |

Law Degree (G)
[P]
Nineteen runs since last win in 2024. 12/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 20 days ago. Others appeal more.

Elettaria (M)
3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 40/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 73 days ago, nearest finish. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Rory (G)
[V]
Unreliable sort. Course winner. Twenty four runs since last win in 2024. Below form sixth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at this course (6f) 13 days ago, never nearer. Others more persuasive.

Lauren Young | J S Goldie | 7 | 54.9 kg |

| 7th | 9 | 6 |
Sogannie (M)
Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in handicap (80/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 10 days ago. Has work to do.
