Fair on the Flat in his prime but has a lowly mark in that sphere nowadays; ran well to a point on last month's hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) and might last longer on today's faster ground but others appeal more all the same. |

10st 7lb |
2m bumper win; 0-13 under Flat rules but runner-up at Southwell (1m4f) and Newcastle (1m) on two of his last three outings; tried 2m in between; beaten by just a head last time and has to be prominent in each-way calculations. |

Sole win in AW bumper in late 2020 but he went close off a reduced mark here recently (1m4f; first-time tongue-tie) when the subject of a major gamble; key player if he can back that up on the step up to 2m; cheekpieces on. |

9st 11lb |
She recorded the latest of her six wins when readily taking five-runner Carlisle handicap (1m3f, good) last month; not disgraced at York over an extended 2m on her next two starts and now drops back in trip and grade; acts on most ground and warrants consideration. |

Behind a couple of these when fourth over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago but that was still a respectable run and she won at Carlisle (1m3f, good) prior to that; went close in this race in 2024; not ruled out. |

Five-runner race at Carlisle (1m3f) last Saturday was first win since 2023 and she's a dependable sort who finished a C&D second (twice) and fourth in July 2024 and 2025 on her only three appearances at York; going back up 5lb since Carlisle seems to pose the difficulty but she should be on the premises. |

Five-time winner who goes well here; his last run needs forgiving but he had been in a good run of form; considered, for all that this is a rare run without any form of headgear. |

Five-time winner who has been in good form this season and found only one too good over C&D a month ago; could have done without the 2lb nudge but should be involved; has competitive form in the reapplied tongue-tie. |

Little in her first five starts, but with cheekpieces added she ran much better when third of eight here (1m4f) eight days ago; still unexposed and would be a contender if building on that effort. |

Beaten a long way on turf in two maidens and a novice in April-June (1m, 1m2f and 1m4f); AW for this handicap debut, having been absent 198 days; hard to support unless there's been a market move for her. |

Verdict
C&D winners Selecto and Vertice have something to prove although they are capable of making an impact on their best form. However, it may be worth taking a chance with SHEHARZ who showed much more when third in first-time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton on Monday and remains unexposed after six starts. The main danger may be Selfish Brian whose last two outings have suggested this in-between trip could prove ideal. Strong Team and Raiff are others to consider.[David Bellingham]
