Verdict

Having shaped very well on stable debut, CARAGIO built on that effort with a decisive success at Yarmouth 10 days ago and he is taken to follow up with more still to offer as a sprinter. Raft Up also carries a penalty for his recent Southwell victory and is feared most, ahead of Kings Merchant.

1	With cheekpieces reapplied dropped to this trip, confirmed promise of seasonal/stable debut when winning 6-runner handicap at Yarmouth in good style 10 days ago. 3lb well-in under a penalty so he holds leading claims. 1st Pick 1 Caragio (Ire) Jockey: William Carson Trainer: Adam Kirby J: William Carson T: Adam Kirby	100	-	-	-	46%

5	Won 3 times in 2025, including twice over this C&D. With Ethan Tindall on board, produced a career best when resuming winning ways at Southwell 8 days ago and he's respected under a penalty back here. 2nd Pick 5 Raft Up (Ire) Jockey: Ethan Tindall Trainer: Harriet Bethell J: Ethan Tindall T: Harriet Bethell	92	-	-	-	29%

6	Yet to score since starting off for current yard last summer but has shaped as if working his back to form this year, unable to sustain his move into contention when fifth of 18 at Thirsk 13 days ago. Interesting from his reduced mark. 3rd Pick 6 Kings Merchant Jockey: Luke Morris Trainer: Philip Kirby J: Luke Morris T: Philip Kirby	92	-	-	-	17%
