#	Horse	Jockey / Trainer	Wt	Gear	Form	OR	RPR	TS	Last	Crs	Dst	Val	Scr	EW	Odds
1 (1)	Mirsky Chestnut J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	J:Daniel Tudhope T:David O'Meara	135	—	8589-8	88	105	91	14d	—	—	-10	18.2	0.56/1	9/4 31%
Four wins in France but he's 0-10 in Britain and others are more convincing
3 (4)	Star Studied Bay J:Clifford Lee T:James Tate	J:Clifford Lee T:James Tate	133	—	11-	86	99	-	430d	—	—	+15	30.4	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Back from lengthy absence but he's 2-2 and looks a useful prospect for handicaps
4 (8)	Obelix Bay J:Ryan Sexton T:Julie Camacho	J:Ryan Sexton T:Julie Camacho	132	h	910-40	85	102	91	14d	—	—	-2	13.2	1.25/1	5/1 17%
On dangerous mark but he's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached
7 (5)	Barley Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	125	p	835-55	78	102	76	26d	—	—	-2	10.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Fair efforts in two runs at Redcar this season but he's only won once since April 2022
8 (2)	Quiet Resolve Bay J:Shane Gray T:Richard Fahey	J:Shane Gray T:Richard Fahey	122	—	-85223	75	99	88	13d	—	—	+8	18.1	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Went close at Hamilton 13 days ago and he's still lightly raced on turf; respected
2 (7)	Rhythm Master Bay J:Sam James T:Geoffrey Harker	J:Sam James T:Geoffrey Harker	134	p	-50220	87	103	90	14d	—	—	+8	18.1	2.00/1	8/1 11%
Quiet over C&D latest but he was in good form before that; not ruled out back in grade
5 (6)	On The River Bay J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Harriet Bethell	J:Alistair Rawlinson T:Harriet Bethell	131	—	113-26	84	100	86	17d	—	—	+3	10.6	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Ideally suited by slow ground and was beaten 14l at Pontefract last time; down the list
6 (3)	Redarna Chestnut J:Gina Mangan T:Dianne Sayer	J:Gina Mangan T:Dianne Sayer	129	p	1551-9	82	100	83	14d	—	—	+4	9.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%
16-time winner and is only 1lb lower than for last success; dangerous back in a Class 3
