Won 2 of his last 3; latest Pontefract win franked; still well treated; first run at Ripon
3 (13)	Fortamour b Paul Mulrennan · Ben Haslam	Paul Mulrennan · Ben Haslam	137	—	-32304	79	88	79	12d	—	—	-1	15.5	5/1 17%
Multiple C&D winner; knocking at the door this year and this an ease in grade; contender
12 (14)	Dicko The Legend b Billy Garritty · Liam Bailey	Billy Garritty · Liam Bailey	131	—	174551	73	88	75	22d	—	—	+10	18	9/1 10%
Beat 21 rivals at York last month (after a wind op); a 5lb rise could just find him out
2 (6)	It Just Takes Time br Jack Garritty · Mark Walford	Jack Garritty · Mark Walford	138	—	874530	80	89	75	14d	—	—	+3	12.1	8/1 11%
C&D winner; July's Doncaster third brings him right into the reckoning; below par latest
1 (4)	Kats Bob ch William Pyle(3) · Ruth Carr	William Pyle(3) · Ruth Carr	139	v	361865	81	89	78	12d	—	—	+5	12.9	11/1 8%
Having a fine year and he wasn't beaten far in a stronger C&D handicap 12 days ago
4 (15)	Woodstock b Jason Hart · Ruth Carr	Jason Hart · Ruth Carr	136	p	-03068	78	87	73	22d	—	—	+2	10	10/1 9%
Five wins to his name and on a dangerous mark; drop to 6f asks a new question of him
8 (9)	Wreck It Ryley gr Clifford Lee · Alan Brown	Clifford Lee · Alan Brown	133	v	460625	75	88	76	23d	—	—	+4	12.1	9/1 10%
Thirsk win on his reappearance; some good runs since, including C&D, and holds e-w claims
15 (10)	Havana Rum b Ethan Tindall(7) · Richard Fahey	Ethan Tindall(7) · Richard Fahey	123	p	432224	65	88	74	19d	—	—	+7	13.8	14/1 7%
Comes here in good form but this is more competitive than the races he's been beaten in
13 (3)	Bay Breeze b David Allan · Tim Easterby	David Allan · Tim Easterby	130	p	554107	72	87	80	10d	—	—	+6	12.1	16/1 6%
Four-time course winner; sharper for recent run; drawn near good pace; contender
14 (1)	Showtime Mahomes b Oliver Stammers · Grant Tuer	Oliver Stammers · Grant Tuer	130	—	665314	72	87	73	22d	—	—	+9	15.9	16/1 6%
Good runs on last two starts and has C&D form; draw could be beneficial; contender
10 (12)	Ziggy's Ariel b Christian Howarth(3) · Alice Haynes	Christian Howarth(3) · Alice Haynes	132	p	166278	77	90	82	8d	—	—	+5	11	16/1 6%
C&D win in April off 2lb lower; mixed bag since and looks opposable
7 (7)	Airman b Oisin Orr · Richard Fahey	Oisin Orr · Richard Fahey	133	h	5-5500	75	87	66	22d	—	—	+3	7.5	18/1 5%
Slipped to a tempting mark and could leave last month's two York runs well behind him
6 (16)	Kings Merchant b Cam Hardie · Philip Kirby	Cam Hardie · Philip Kirby	134	—	-76508	76	82	70	22d	—	—	+1	8.6	22/1 4%
No impact in two runs for new yard last month but there are grounds for expecting better
11 (2)	Brazilian Rose b Harry Burns(3) · Rebecca Menzies	Harry Burns(3) · Rebecca Menzies	132	—	825590	74	85	73	62d	—	—	+5	7.7	33/1 3%
In good form on AW early in the year; excuses of late and she's not out of this
16 (8)	Fan Mail b Duran Fentiman · Tim Easterby	Duran Fentiman · Tim Easterby	122	—	146670	67	84	59	21d	—	—	+3	4.8	50/1 2%
Fair chance on his AW best but yet to show comparable form on turf
NR (5)	Hectic b Harry Davies · Liam Bailey	Harry Davies · Liam Bailey	133	p	306419	75	87	76	62d	—	—	—	13.3	—
C&D win in June; backwards step next time but a revival wouldn't be a huge surprise
