In good form with four wins over this trip this year; likely to give another good account
7 (9)	Finbar's Lad Chestnut J:Jason Hart T:John & Sean Quinn	J:Jason Hart T:John & Sean Quinn	130	—	702423	75	94	84	29d	—	—	+3	18.7	1.13/1	9/2 18%
Both wins have been on fast ground; has been running well of late; should go well
3 (8)	Bell Shot Bay J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Michael Appleby	J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Michael Appleby	133	—	782152	78	93	77	12d	—	—	+10	21.8	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Running well this summer, including when second at Epsom last time; claims

Well beaten at York last time and, although this is easier, widest draw makes life tricky
11 (4)	Yaaser Bay J:Shane Gray T:Jim Goldie	J:Shane Gray T:Jim Goldie	125	—	935304	70	92	78	4d	—	—	-1	10.4	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Slow-starter who hasn't been at best so far this year; more needed before he's worth a bet
8 (7)	Challet Bay J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	128	h	2-9547	73	97	72	40d	—	—	+4	11.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Too free last time and not won since 2021 but on a good mark and hood back on
4 (10)	Craven Bay J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	J:Oisin Orr T:Richard Fahey	133	v	-93010	78	91	70	30d	—	—	+10	16.6	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Back to winning ways at York in July but not the most consistent and below that last time

5 (6)	Animate Bay J:Callum Rodriguez T:Geoffrey Harker	J:Callum Rodriguez T:Geoffrey Harker	130	—	609190	75	92	74	43d	—	—	+8	12.5	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Notched first turf win at Catterick in summer but below that level both runs since

Not won for over a year but on a good mark and seems to like it here; excuse for last run

Suited by this trip on a sound surface and has each-way claims if back to best
