9/4
Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but probably needed the run after 6 months off when eighth of 14 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 14 days ago, slowly away. Has dropped to a handy mark and is of interest in a less competitive event here.

15/2
Nineteen runs since last win in 2022 but run easily excused when twelfth of 13 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, left poorly placed. Ran well on both starts in April and could well have a say in proceedings.

Won maiden at Southwell and minor event at Kempton in early 2024. Returns from long absence but remains with potential on turf/handicap debut.

13/2, run best excused when eleventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good) 14 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Remains of interest.

14/1
C&D winner who went backwards in a big way from an encouraging reappearance when sixth of 7 in handicap (8/1) at Pontefract (8f, good) 17 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly.

C&D winner who shaped as if needing the run when ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good) on reappearance 14 days ago. Should come on for the outing.

7/1
Went the right way from reappearance when fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 5/2) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Left the impression there he's still working his way back to full fitness, so could well take another step forward.

Latest win at Newcastle in December. 13/2, good third of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Can give another good account.

Forecasts

Mirsky (9/4), Star Studied (4/1), Obelix (5/1), Barley (7/1), Rhythm Master (15/2), Quiet Resolve (17/2), On The River (14/1), Redarna (22/1)

Verdict

MIRSKY is yet to win for current connections, but he’s down to a potentially handy mark and gets the nod to strike with his reappearance under his belt now that he’s contesting a less competitive handicap than usual. Obelix can have a line put through his latest run having had a hopeless task from his position, and he remains of interest, with Barley another to consider.

  1. Mirsky9/4
  2. Obelix5/1
  3. Barley7/1
