Comment: 3yo who won at Ayr (1m2f) last month and has gone close at Ripon (1m4f) and at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) since, on the latest occasion in the Racing League last Thursday when keeping on well to finish clear of the third; has the same mark today (due a 4lb rise) and holds leading claims.

Comment: Three AW wins earlier this year (including over 1m3f here) and returned from break with a win at Hamilton (1m5f) this month; another good run when third of seven at Newmarket (1m6f) 12 days ago in what looked a warm little race, and this 3yo is firmly in calculations.

50/1

Comment: Four wins for Craig Lidster (5f-6f, including Tapeta); did well to finish as close as he did in a hot York sprint (6f, good) on latest outing given he was slowly away, detached early and then made up his ground away from the main action; capable off this mark but York was the second time in succession he's blown it leaving the stalls and he's a risky proposition with this trip not sure to suit; cheekpieces now tried.

Comment: Style of racing lends itself to finding trouble but, even so, her last three runs (all over 7f at York) have all been painful viewing for her supporters; earlier York third, on latest 6f attempt, showed she could contend off this mark and five of her six wins have come over this C&D; surely capable of going well granted any like in running.

Comment: Dropped 12lb this summer, his first season with this yard, but many of the stable's runners were quiet early in the year and his latest Thirsk effort (7f, good to firm) is perhaps more relevant than some of his earlier runs; looked stretched by the trip on that occasion and not discounted now back sprinting on AW.

Comment: Can get it wrong at the start but he's back on the up for his new yard this season, winning a 6f handicap at Pontefract in June and adding a Wolverhampton claimer to his tally 18 days ago; only four ran in the latter and the form may not be trustworthy but, given the unfavourable terms he overcame, connections will be delighted that he was dropped 1lb; needs to find a bit extra but it's not out of the question.

12/1

Comment: His three best efforts have come on AW at Kempton (Polytrack), including a win over 1m4f one year ago and a 2m second (first-time hood) in October; also scored at Bath (1m6f, good) without headgear in June but a fair effort at Chester in July has been sandwich by two big defeats, latterly at Salisbury by 13l; little wiggle room off this mark.

Comment: Classy in 2022 and had future Group 1 winners ahead and behind when third of six in that year's Group 2 Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud; scheduled to run in the Derby after that, only to pick up an injury one week before the race; subsequently left David Menuisier (original owner retains a share) and gelded; huge absence to overcome on this step up in trip and first go on AW but market interest would be significant; stable/handicap debut.

Comment: The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark.

Comment: Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away.

Comment: Had a fallow 2024 for another yard but he dropped down the weights and won his first two starts following wind surgery, at about 1m4f on Lingfield AW and at Windsor; given a short break since Pontefract defeat in June and may do better yet; 0-5 on this track but handles the surface.

Comment: Speedy 3yo who boasts a 2-2 record on AW, most recently leaving ten rivals trailing in his wake over C&D 46 days ago; he has not been missed with a 9lb rise but that latest effort has been franked since and he could still have more to come.

Comment: High-class sprinter on his day and he has tasted defeat in just one of his four runs on AW; fine effort to beat Marshman in a Listed race here in February and third in a Newmarket Group 3 next time; no doubt he has the ability to win a race of this nature but he is increasingly troublesome at the start and he has refused to race twice this summer; capable but too much risk attached to recommend.
