11/1

Got off the mark for this season in 3-runner handicap at Leicester (5f) in June. Respectable sixth at Beverley after but not at his best from widest draw when fifth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Bounce back needed.

Hvar⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 60WS

40/1

A fair 6f winner at Wolverhampton for Ralph Beckett last autumn. Well held on turf for current yard this season though, last of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good) in July. Needs a subsequent breathing operation to spark major progress.

Form: 1-00709

10/1

Bounced back to form with success in 7-runner handicap at Catterick (5f, firm) 23 days ago, ridden with more patience than usual. Needs to reproduce it from 4 lb higher mark.

Harry Mole¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 56

7/2

Low-mileage 4-y-o who is knocking on the door, not best drawn when third of 12 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Expected to be bang there eased 1 lb in his bid for a maiden victory.

Form: 052233

Cotai Starlight¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: K Scott| OR: 58

6/1

Opened her account at Ayr (6f) in July but seemed unsuited by drop to 5f when never-nearer fifth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton 16 days ago. More is required kept to minimum trip.

6/1

It's now nineteen runs since his last win in 2024 but arrives in decent nick, sixth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 6 days ago. Possibilities.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Barry McHugh| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 54| BF| D

13/2

Landed back-to-back handicaps at Wetherby and Beverley this summer. Posted a good third of 9 back at Beverley (5f, good) last time. Can make his presence felt again.

Form: 67-2113

Supremissy⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 56| D

7/1

Made a successful handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f) in June. Good fourth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 6 days ago. Remains quite lightly raced and not out of things.

Form: U-93194

Keep The Gold^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 54

8/1

Remains winless and not proving easy to catch right this season, a below-form seventh of 12 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago.

Form: 2-25497

Kyber Crystal^p,t⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: P J McDonald| T: R Menzies| OR: 49| D

10/1

Yet to win this year and comes here below form, only seventh of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 6 days ago. Others are preferred.

12/1

On a losing sequence, though not seen to best effect (tongue tied for the first time) when seventh of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on here.

Forecasts

Harry Mole (7/2), Cotai Starlight (6/1), Never Dark (6/1), Crafty Spirit (13/2), Supremissy (7/1), Keep The Gold (8/1), Kyber Crystal (10/1), Without Flaw (10/1), Bibendum (11/1), Royal Duke (12/1), Impressor (12/1), Opal Storm (12/1), Cape Sovereign (25/1), Hvar (40/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and HARRY MOLE is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success after a string of good efforts. Crafty Spirit is enjoying a good 2026 and seems sure to go well once more, while Supremissy and Opal Storm also need considering.
