His smart 2-y-o form seems a thing of the past but he figures off a handy mark and has been performing with credit of late, a bit too keen when fifth at Beverley over this trip last week. Shortlisted.

Produced a career best when scoring at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) last month but not been in quite same form since. Others preferred.

Well over a year since his last win but he ran another fine race when second of 15 in handicap at York (7f) earlier this month and had excuses over C&D since (not clear run). Respected.

9/2
Dual 7f winner this year who has found a little more improvement in recent starts, latest when good third of 8 in handicap at Chester (7f, heavy) 10 days ago. Merits consideration.

Dual winner at 7f this season, most recently at Musselburgh in April. Largely run well since, making the frame once more when third of 8 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, soft, 10/1) 8 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again.

Built on debut promise to gamely land 10-runner maiden at Thirsk (7f) in June. Disappointed in testing conditions on handicap debut at Haydock since but remains low mileage.

Won at Doncaster on 2025 reappearance but has rarely threatened since, well held at same course when last seen in July. Work to do.

Not successful since 2024 and has largely struggled for form this season. Visor reapplied now but he is hard to recommend with confidence despite a tumbling mark.

Dual Carlisle winner last season who stepped up on recent efforts when creditable third of 10 in handicap at same course (7f, good to soft, 7/2) 20 days ago. 1 lb lower now and is not taken lightly.

Gained a breakthrough victory over C&D in June but only tenth of 12 in handicap in follow-up attempt here since. Bounce back is required.

Forecasts

Misunderstood (3/1), Quest For Fun (10/3), Homestrait (9/2), One Night Thunder (11/2), Abduction (10/1), Count Palatine (10/1), Circle Of Trust (14/1), Wobwobwob (20/1), Stanage (22/1), Tip Foster (33/1)

Verdict

The in-form HOMESTRAIT ran a cracker in a stronger contest at Chester last time and can race off the same mark here. She makes fair appeal. Misunderstood and One NIght Thunder rate the principal dangers.
