Morello Man – 11/2 (Betvictor)

Nobody’s Business – 22/1 (Unibet)

Colocolo – 9/1 (Bet365)
Although disappointing in his latest outings, Colocolo was runner-up earlier in the season and could bounce back to that form today. Keep an eye on him if he recaptures his earlier promise. Back Colocolo at Bet365
Noble Heights – 20/1 (Betvictor)
Despite finishing last on his debut, Noble Heights is expected to improve under the guidance of Hollie Doyle. He’s still learning but could make significant progress today. Back Noble Heights at Betvictor
Yorkshire Myth – 12/1 (Unibet)
This newcomer is making his first appearance on the track but has good breeding. Although he may need the run, he has the potential to surprise in his debut. Bet on Yorkshire Myth at Unibet
Leblon Girl – 2/1 (Bet365)
The favorite today, having placed twice before and running a solid fourth last time. She’s consistent and seems well-suited to the task at hand. Back Leblon Girl at Bet365
Loving Apprentice – 2/1 (Betvictor)
Loving Apprentice came close to victory at Chelmsford last time and is backed by a strong record for trainer Ed Dunlop at this course. He’s a serious contender here. Back Loving Apprentice at Betvictor
Hala Joza – 10/1 (Unibet)
This filly showed glimpses of promise on her debut and should improve today. Half-sister to several winners, she’s one to watch in this field. Bet on Hala Joza at Unibet
Verdict
Loving Apprentice looks well-placed to secure his first victory, with Ed Dunlop’s strong Pontefract record giving him an edge. Leblon Girl and Morello Man also offer solid challenges, while Hala Joza could improve significantly on her second outing.

Flying Fortress has been knocking on the door in recent starts, and if she builds on her second-place finish, she could be right in the mix. Back Flying Fortress at Bet365
Greek Gift – 10/1 (Betvictor)
A bit inconsistent, but Greek Gift showed promise when second in a nursery at Redcar earlier in the year. She’s capable of surprising in this race. Back Greek Gift at Betvictor
Aye Up Lass – 6/1 (Unibet)

Improved when finishing second in his latest start, and if he maintains that progress, Testimonial can make a serious challenge for top honors here. Back Testimonial at Bet365
Toby Two Scoops – 20/1 (Betvictor)
Toby Two Scoops is yet to show much, but with the benefit of experience, this could be the day he starts to improve. A big outsider, but worth noting. Back Toby Two Scoops at Betvictor

Calla Lagoon looks the one to beat, with impressive performances so far, including a strong win last time. The Ralph Beckett-trained juvenile could take all the beating. Back Calla Lagoon at Bet365

This colt has already tasted success and could easily progress further under Paul Mulrennan’s guidance. He could be a threat to the favorites if he builds on his previous form. Back Castle Stuart at Unibet

Sophia’s Starlight – 11/4 (Bet365)
This four-year-old filly bounced back to form with a strong victory at Newmarket last month. She’s up 2lb for that effort, but remains well-handicapped to challenge again. Back Sophia’s Starlight at Bet365
Glorious Angel – 10/1 (Betvictor)
Though she’s been a bit inconsistent lately, Glorious Angel has shown the ability to perform at this level. A good ride could see her place in the frame. Back Glorious Angel at Betvictor
Tropical Island – 11/2 (Unibet)
This three-year-old has had some ups and downs but still poses a threat on her day. Richard Fahey’s charge could be in the mix if she reproduces her better form. Back Tropical Island at Unibet
The Eyes Have It – 10/3 (Bet365)
Lightly raced and from the powerful William Haggas yard, The Eyes Have It looks primed to make a bold bid. She’s relatively unexposed and could still have plenty of improvement left in her. Back The Eyes Have It at Bet365
Alcazan – 3/1 (Unibet)
Coming off a solid third-place finish last time out, Alcazan is reliable and consistent at this distance. She’s likely to be competitive again in this company. Back Alcazan at Unibet
May Blossom – 12/1 (Betvictor)
This five-year-old mare can be a tricky customer, but she’s capable of landing a big run if everything falls into place. A decent each-way shot in this field. Back May Blossom at Betvictor
Thursday’s Child – 8/1 (Bet365)
This filly has been performing well without winning, but she could put in a good shift at a nice price if things go her way. Worth considering for an outside chance. Back Thursday’s Child at Bet365
Verdict
Sophia’s Starlight heads into the race with solid form and looks capable of following up her Newmarket win. The Eyes Have It could also be a major player, while Alcazan and Tropical Island are both credible threats.

Kyle Of Lochalsh – 15/8 (Betvictor)
Kyle Of Lochalsh has been a consistent performer throughout the season, showing solid stamina over longer trips. He’s a reliable type and should make a strong case here. Back Kyle Of Lochalsh at Betvictor
Rajinsky – 15/2 (Unibet)
Although Rajinsky was well beaten last time, he’s capable of bouncing back and has some solid form from earlier in the year. His odds could provide value for an each-way play. Back Rajinsky at Unibet
Wise Eagle – 11/4 (Bet365)
Wise Eagle, the 2022 winner of this race, has had some tough assignments recently but could return to form on this more familiar ground. He’s certainly one to watch here. Back Wise Eagle at Bet365
Oxford Comma – 7/4 (Bet365)
After two wins earlier in the season, Oxford Comma failed to fire in the Park Hill Stakes, but he remains a talented three-year-old with potential to bounce back in this race. Back Oxford Comma at Bet365
Verdict
Kyle Of Lochalsh is the one to beat given his strong form over staying distances this season. However, Wise Eagle, last year’s winner, is also a solid contender and could pose a serious threat. Oxford Comma could bounce back to form, and Rajinsky offers some each-way value at a bigger price.

Flat,Turf , 6f , GOOD TO FIRM, Good in places (GoingStick 8.1) (Watering to maintain)
Paddy The Squire – 6/1 (Unibet)
Paddy The Squire hasn’t been in top form recently, but his best performances suggest he has the potential to improve here. The step back to this trip could work in his favor. Back Paddy The Squire at Unibet
Austrian Theory – 7/1 (Bet365)
With a solid second-place finish at Haydock earlier in the season, Austrian Theory has the ability to compete at this level, and the softer ground might bring out his best. Back Austrian Theory at Bet365
Shamran – 9/2 (Betvictor)
Shamran broke his maiden last time out and looks set to build on that success. Hollie Doyle aboard adds confidence for a repeat performance. Back Shamran at Betvictor
Spirit Of Acklam – 4/1 (Bet365)
After winning at Newcastle, Spirit Of Acklam was third in his latest race. He could be set for another bold showing at this distance. Back Spirit Of Acklam at Bet365
Expected Arrival – 10/1 (Unibet)
Expected Arrival has been consistent over similar trips and could make his presence felt again if he bounces back to the form that saw him win two starts ago. Back Expected Arrival at Unibet
Tipsy Tiger – 9/1 (Betvictor)
Despite a fourth-place finish last time, Tipsy Tiger has been improving steadily and remains in contention. A return to form could see him challenge in this race. Back Tipsy Tiger at Betvictor
Inappropriate – 4/1 (Bet365)
Inappropriate has been thriving recently with back-to-back wins and could continue his winning streak in this race. His current form makes him a strong contender. Back Inappropriate at Bet365
Magnetic North – 33/1 (Unibet)
Though Magnetic North has struggled in his last two runs, the drop in trip could see a better performance. At his current odds, he’s worth an outside chance. Back Magnetic North at Unibet
Verdict
Inappropriate is on a roll with consecutive wins, and there’s no reason why he can’t make it three in a row. However, Shamran looks dangerous after breaking his maiden last time out, and Austrian Theory is a value pick on this ground. For a longer shot, Magnetic North could offer some big each-way value now dropping in trip.

Although his form has been patchy this season, Glendown is a previous course winner and could spring a surprise if bouncing back to his best. Back Glendown at Bet365
Verdict
