Verdict
Competitive stuff but KODI LION can boast a very positive Haydock record and now 3 lb below his last winning mark, he looks weighted to strike with Fallon taking over. Grant Wood shaped well at Ripon last time so demands respect, while handicap debutant Tip Foster brings a different profile to the table.

VerdictVeteran who took advantage of drop in grade when successful at Ayr (6f, heavy) last autumn. Close to that form when second of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) in June and freshened up since a lesser effort back at Ayr in July. Any easing of the ground wouldn't inconvenience him.

VerdictNot straightforward but found things panning out ideally when opening his account for present yard over 6f at Doncaster (heavy) last autumn. Yet to fully fire this season but well weighted as a result and the ground has now come in his favour.

VerdictBuilding a very solid handicap record and he readily gained a deserved victory in 8-runner event at Newbury (6f) in June. Race didn't go his way at Ripon a week later but yard could be in better form ahead of this return.- 13. Tip FosterJ: Joanna MasonT: David & Nicola BarronF: 31

VerdictWinless since debut in 2024 but had a couple of excuses at York and with a visor back on, he found only one too good eased in class at Hamilton 3 weeks ago. Has to be of interest.

VerdictPlenty of good efforts last season, scoring at Doncaster prior to signing off with a good fifth in the Bronze Cup at Ayr. Posted best effort this term when second of 17 back at Ayr (6f, good to firm) in July and wasn't far off that level at Hamilton 3 weeks ago.- 10. Grant WoodJ: David NolanT: Paul MidgleyF: 48300046

VerdictBack-to-back winner at Newcastle early in the year and has been shaping up quite well, second home on his side in a competitive handicap at Ripon 3 weeks ago. One to take very seriously from the same mark.

VerdictJust about better than ever when second over 6f at Chester on first run following a breathing operation in June. Creditable third of 9 at Doncaster a week later and he's a threat if returning from a break in the same form.

VerdictDidn't kick on from a highly promising start as a 2-y-o and similar story following a good reappearance third at Pontefract in 2 subsequent starts for Karl Burke. Switched yards for 58,000 gns in July and never a factor from a wide draw at Chester.
