Holbache

Age: 8
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 75

Won at Redcar and Leicester last summer and returned to from 5 months off by bossing a 6-runner veterans event from some way out at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago, 10 lb rise might demand more against younger rivals, though.

Raffles Angel

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 8lbs
Or: 74

Winner at Haydock last summer. Raced too freely after 9 months off when sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, heavy) 14 days ago and it'll likely require a significant step forward from that if she's to take this.

Ingleby Archie (Ire)

Age: 5
Weight: 9st 4lbs
Or: 70

Dual winner last spring and having edged down the weights, shaped like the best horse on the day when collared on the line in a 6-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 10 days ago. Has to be of interest again from only 1 lb higher.

Cairdeas

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: 69

Sole success came in a 7f Newmarket novice back in 2024 for William Haggas. Shaped well behind a race-fit stablemate when runner-up at Doncaster on return and wasn't ideally placed away from the favoured rail at Ripon last time. Still merits respect.

Winchurch (Ire)

Age: 4
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 75

Capitalised on a career-low mark when winning at C&D in April and proved better than ever when doubling his tally for the season in a 7-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, good to soft, 8/1) 9 days ago. Step back up in trip will suit and he should go close to following up.

Timeform Verdict

INGLEBY ARCHIE has slipped a long way in the weights and went like the best horse at them when collared late at Hamilton last time, so he can make amends from 1 lb higher in a competitive race. Winchurch was better than ever when winning at Catterick last time and can pose the biggest threat, with Cairdeas taken to complete the 1-2-3.
