Verdict

Another useful contest. MIRSKY led for a long way in a strong 1m York handicap last week and is worth chancing having dropped to 1 lb below the mark he defied in the Thirsk Hunt Cup in the spring. Bobby Bennu, Northern Express and Perfect Part are a few of many others to consider, while it'll be very interesting to see how strong the betting vibes are surrounding twice-raced Karl Burke handicap newcomer Majestic Dane.

    Verdict
    Proved at least as good as ever when landing the Thirsk Hunt Cup over 1m in May. Hasn't reproduced that form since but he has shaped better than the result in a few of his recent starts, including at York last week (went off too hard).

    Shaped well from a poor draw at Chester on reappearance and good second of 14 at Newcastle (7f) 4 weeks later. Underperformed at Glorious Goodwood since but he's capable of bouncing back.

    Verdict
    Smart and likeable course winner. Enhanced fine record at York when ending a long losing run with narrow victory there (7f) in July and backed it up with a fine third in the Summer Cup here (1m, good) 4 weeks ago. Has to enter calculations.

    Verdict
    Three-time winner for Andrew Balding and returned to his best for current yard when scoring over C&D (good to soft) in June. Back in that form when third of 11 in handicap at Chester (6f, good) last Saturday. Enters calculations, particularly if the ground eases.

    Prolific as a 3-y-o. Has drawn a blank since, although he did go close over C&D (good to soft) in May. Freshened up since a lesser run at Newcastle in June.

    Verdict
    Winless since a 6f Newmarket success last May but he ran up to his very best when second of 15 at Epsom (6f, soft) at the start of June. Below par on firmer ground twice since but conditions could be more to his liking here if the forecast rain hits.

    Verdict
    Looked useful over 7f at Newcastle earlier in the year, winning on debut before finishing second under a penalty. Brings obvious unexposed potential to this handicap and turf debut for a leading stable. Has been gelded.

    Verdict
    Winless since her debut in 2024 but she's a useful handicapper on her day and was a good second over 1m here off 2 lb higher in May. Shaped as if back in form when fifth of 19 over 7f at York (soft) last Thursday and merits consideration.

    Ended 2025 in a bit of a lull but edged down the weights as a result and right back to his best on the back of a breathing operation when winning a 20-runner handicap at York (7f) on reappearance in June. Two poor runs have followed, though. Visored first time.

    Useful sort. Off since winning a conditions event on all-weather at Deauville a year ago but has gone well fresh before and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him with the yard going well.
