| 7th | 1 | 3 |
Harswell Duke (G)
Thirty three runs since his last win in 2023 and only sixth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 17/2) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip with work to do.

J Garritty | L Bailey | 8 | 61.2 kg |

|
| 4th | 2 | 10 |
Night Bear (G)
[V1]
Course scorer who was forced wide when a solid sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 32 days ago. Can race off a 2 lb lower mark now so he's a likely player for yard among the winners.
|
N Callan | A W Carroll | 9 | 60.3 kg |
7
6/1
|
| 8th | 3 | 2 |
Alvesta (M)
Long-standing maiden. Below form fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (16f, soft) 14 days ago. Weighted to go well back in this sphere.
|
Jonny Peate | M Crawley | 5 | 59.9 kg |
26
25/1
|
| 5th | 4 | 11 |
Sisterandbrother (G)
Twelve runs since last win in 2025. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 8 days ago, needing stronger gallop. In the mix.
|
Alistair Rawlinson | S A Harris | 8 | 59.9 kg |
5.50
9/2
|
| 9th | 5 | 5 |
Marinakis (G)
FAV
Failed to build on previous promise when just fifth of 7 in minor event at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) in July. Not ruled out after a break though.
|
Ryan Kavanagh | Ian Williams | 6 | 58.5 kg |
4.33
10/3
|
| 2nd | 6 | 4 |
Thundering Breeze (M)
Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW, 9/2) 32 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can give a good account in a bid for her breakthrough victory.
|
Ashley Lewis | G & J Moore | 5 | 57.6 kg |
4.50
7/2
|
| 11th | 7 | 1 |
Saxon Kingdom (G)
[T]
One win from 31 Flat runs. 10/3, seventh of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. More is needed for his new yard.

Callum Hutchinson | James Owen | 5 | 57.2 kg |
8.50
15/2
|
| 10th | 8 | 7 |
Trusty Scout (G)
[P]
Nineteen runs since his last win in 2023 but he posted a creditable third of 9 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 9 days ago. Considered.
|
Ben Ffrench-Davis | D Shaw | 8 | 57.2 kg |
9.50
17/2
|
| 6th | 9 | 6 |
Queen Sansa (F)
Still a maiden but she comes here on the back of a good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 18 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts.
|
Jack Dace | S C Williams | 4 | 57.2 kg |
15
14/1
|
| 1st | 10 | 9 |
Duchess (M)
[T]
One win from 27 Flat runs. 14/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 41 days ago. Fifteen runs since her last win in 2024.
|
Gina Mangan | John Berry | 7 | 57.2 kg |

28/1
|
| 3rd | 11 | 8 |
Karismatique (G)
[B]
Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 86 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Difficult ask.
