Redarna^p¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 86| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 25/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, heavy) 18 days ago. Back on a winning mark but hard to be sure what form he arrives in.

Form: 240-069

Red Mirage^v⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: B A Curtis| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 86| D

11/2

Five wins from 18 Flat runs. Visored first time, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Haydock (7f, firm) 47 days ago. Fairly treated if he can build on that.

Form: 44-4054

(6)

Fools Rush In¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: William Pyle⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 86| D

11/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (7f, good) 13 days ago but had shaped quite well in the ultra competitive International Handicap at Ascot prior to that.

Form: 700650

Quest For Fun^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82| D

3/1

Latest win at York in July. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Chepstow (7f, good, 9/1) 13 days ago. Likely to be very competitive.

Form: 9-05314

(4)

Poet's Magic¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Russell| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 80| CD

17/2

C&D winner who was all the sharper for her reappearance when a respectable second of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good, 16/1) 12 days ago. One of 2 solid contenders for her stable.

Form: 6225-82

(3)

Detective³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 77| C

5/1

Five-time course winner. 7/2, third of 5 in handicap at Hamilton (9f, good) 34 days ago, finding little. Down in trip.

Form: 0-82333

(8)

Albegrey¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75| C

11/1

Easy winner of a course Class 5 in June but has found life a bit tougher in stronger races twice since.

Form: 374-139

(2)

Yoshimi^p¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 68| CD

5/1

C&D winner in June and bounced straight back from a lesser run at Leicester when taking an 8-runner handicap there last week. Not obviously well treated under a 5 lb penalty.

Form: 568141

Forecasts

Quest For Fun (3/1), Yoshimi (5/1), Detective (5/1), Fools Rush In (11/2), Red Mirage (11/2), Mobashr (15/2), Poet's Magic (17/2), Redarna (11/1), Albegrey (11/1)

MOBASHR had excuses at Windsor last week and can show he's still very much at the top of his game. Quest For Fun and John Quinn pair Poet's Magic and Red Mirage may give the selection most to do.
