9/2

Enjoyed a fine spell on all-weather earlier in the year, recording back-to-back C&D wins prior to finding only one too good in hat-trick bid. Went off the boil thereafter but returned to something like his best when second of 14 in 1m handicap at Yarmouth recently. Player from 2 lb higher mark.

Forest Caper^h¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72| D

12/1

Free-going sort who finally opened his account in 12-runner handicap at Thirsk (7f, good, 12/1) 12 days ago, suited by a well-run race. Overall record suggests he's one to take on from a 4 lb higher mark, though.

Be Frank¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Callan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 70| BF| D

13/2

Scored on 2025 return at Newmarket and turned in several creditable efforts after. Stepped forward from his reappearance following another 13 weeks off when fourth of 19 at York (1m) earlier in the month but wasn't in the same form at Chester just 6 days later.

Form: 545-645

Mystical Storm¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 69

13/2

Off the mark following a breathing operation at Doncaster (6f) last summer. More miss than hit since but returned from 7 weeks away with an immediate upturn on the back of a second breathing operation when third at aforementioned track (7f) in June. Makes all-weather debut after another break.

Form: 4890-63

Justice Court^t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver| T: J A Osborne| OR: 72| D

12/1

Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f) 11 days ago, edging ahead final strides. Should at least remain competitive following token rise in the weights.

Form: 3-281

Caragio¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Charles Bishop| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 69| BF| D

11/4

Confirmed stable debut promise when winning 6-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f) in April. Below that level in 2 outings at the start of the summer but went like the best horse at the weights in a classified race at Doncaster (1m) 15 days ago and of interest back at 7f on return to handicap company.

Form: 6-21563

Beauzon⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: William Cox| T: Ian Williams| OR: 69

150/1

Completed a remarkable 7-timer in typical fashion from the front at Wolverhampton in March. However, went into his shell on turf this summer and has fared no better back on all-weather the last twice.

14/1

Managed some minor progress switched to handicap company in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 9 at Doncaster (1m) in May. Below form on both subsequent starts, though, including on all-weather debut here last time. First run for yard after leaving Jack Jones.

Form: 25-4408

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Garritty| T: I Jardine| OR: 69

Ulysses gelding who produced a promising first effort when second of 10 in a C&D novice in April but has run below that level on both starts since and has been handed a stiff-looking mark.

Form: 256

Newsreader²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 66| D

14/1

On a long losing run and went backwards from a promising stable debut when fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 22 days ago. Bounce back required.

Form: 6-60645

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: H Morrison| OR: 68

20/1

Ran her best race taking on her elders for the first time when third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 18/1) 17 days ago. Switched to tapeta now and ought to remain competitive.

Found a bit more improvement to get off the mark here (1m) in August. However, failed to get away with his keenness when down the field back on turf at Windsor 12 days ago.

Caragio (11/4), Packetofbiscuits (9/2), Kiani King (5/1), Mystical Storm (13/2), Be Frank (13/2), Forest Caper (12/1), Justice Court (12/1), Decem Starr (14/1), Newsreader (14/1), Midsummer Storm (16/1), Bundok (20/1), Thapa VC (20/1), You Will See (28/1), Beauzon (150/1)

CARAGIO shaped best before his stamina ran dry in a well-run edition of the 'Leger Legends' at Doncaster just over a fortnight ago, so he's very much of interest back at 7f on his return to handicap company. Recent 3-y-o scorer Justice Court remains unexposed after just 4 career starts, while Packetofbiscuits, a dual C&D winner earlier in the year, is also one to bear in mind having returned to his best when edged out only by a course specialist at Yarmouth recently.
