Padishakh^t²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 93| D

20/1

Useful in France and more encouraging signs for current yard lately, coming from further back than ideal when fourth in 1m handicap at Ripon last month. Likely has a bigger performance in his locker this campaign.

Form: 58-6074

Mr King^t⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: I Jardine| OR: 90| D

12/1

Successful at Naas on final outing for Ger Lyons in June and offered plenty to work on starting out for a new stable when seventh of 18 in 1m handicap at York last month, nearest finish having been caught too far back. Proved to be a disappointment at Doncaster last week, however.

Form: 524170

Yantarni³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: D Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 90| D

12/1

Brought up a hat-trick in 7f handicaps in June and took his form up a notch when headed late on in the Shergar Cup Mile at Ascot on penultimate outing. Possibly found race coming too soon when below form at Windsor only 5 days later.

Form: 111420

Aragon Castle^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 92| D

18/5

Improved to open his account for the season in 1m Hamilton handicap in July. Good efforts both starts since, including at York's Ebor meeting latterly and remains of interest.

Form: 522156

Revich^v²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: George Wood| T: R Spencer| OR: 88| CD

25/1

Won this race from a 7 lb higher mark in battling fashion 12 months ago. Hasn't quite found his stride yet this season but handicapper continues to relent.

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 87| D

40/1

Stepped up on appreciably on reappearance run when dead heating at Thirsk in May. Bit of a mixed bag since, however.

Form: 137278

Obelix^h¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 86| D

13/2

Proved at least as good as ever when winning 13-runner handicap (6/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good) 14 days ago, readily. Remains well treated on the pick of his form, so has to be of strong interest in his follow-up bid.

Form: 024591

Bear Force One^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 85| D

40/1

Quirky sort who was well held back in headgear at Southwell (8.1f, 28/1) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 60-0060

(13)

Stone Soldier^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: J Fanning| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| D

20/1

Multiple winner earlier in his career and best effort for a while back from 5 months off when fourth in big-field handicap (7f) at York in June. Followed that with a lesser effort at Chester and didn't convince with his stamina back at this trip last time.

Form: 66-0498

(14)

Red Hat Eagle¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 84| D

16/1

Back-to-back winner earlier in the season and confirmed himself still in reasonable heart when fourth in 11-runner handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good) 14 days ago. Can give another good account but remains vulnerable to better treated ones.

Form: 311294

Yermanthere⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: T D Easterby| OR: 84

33/1

Irish import who opened his account at the fifth attempt for present connections at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) in August. However, not in the same form at Chester last week.

Form: 009816

Apiarist¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 87| BF

8/1

Is running consistently well but looks no more than averagely treated. Others preferred from a win perspective.

Form: 534443

Austrian Theory³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| D

11/1

Has been shaping up reasonably well lately, not seen to best effect under another hold-up ride when eleventh of 18 in handicap at York (7.9f, good to firm) 30 days ago, not clear run under 3f out. Not dismissed from the foot of the weights.

Form: 365360

Forecasts

Mirsky (7/2), Aragon Castle (18/5), Obelix (13/2), Apiarist (8/1), Austrian Theory (11/1), Mr King (12/1), Yantarni (12/1), Red Hat Eagle (16/1), Padishakh (20/1), Stone Soldier (20/1), Revich (25/1), Yermanthere (33/1), Diamondonthehill (40/1), Bear Force One (40/1)

MIRSKY looks ready to strike judged on his excellent second at York last month, so he's given the nod. Obelix got back on the scoresheet in ready fashion at Haydock a fortnight ago and remains well treated on the pick of his form, while others to consider are Padishakh and Aragon Castle in an interesting opener.
