TIMEFORM VIEW Fair maiden for Tim Easterby, including reaching the frame in his first 2 handicaps. Denied a clear run when seventh of 13 at Wetherby (1m) in June. Brings unexposed potential to this first run for excellent James Owen yard. Wears a first-time hood. TFRHHHHH BHA64
TIMEFORM VIEW Arrives in good form, reaching the frame on 5 successive starts before finally snapping her long losing run at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) on Monday. Placed under Natasha Cookson at Carlisle earlier in the season. Carries a 5lb penalty. TFRHHHII BHA47

THE TIMEFORM VIEW It might be worth taking a chance that DEEP SLEEP is yet another that James Owen works his magic on. This 3-y-o is much less exposed than most of today’s opposition and confidence in his chance would increase should the betting vibes be strong. Fellow 3-y-os Jungle Knight, Hatamoto and Harswell River head the dangers.

THE TIMEFORM VIEW A big field but it’s unlikely too many count. BAARBERINI had Astral Crown 2 1/2 lengths behind in third when second over this trip at Southwell last time and is taken to confirm that superiority over David O’Meara’s charge and make it third time lucky. Mr Minz and Quintillion, who should be wiser with his Beverley debut behind him, are others who could have a say.

TIMEFORM VIEW Successful on return/stable debut at Pontefract in April and has quickly made up into a reliable sprint handicapper typical of the yard. His hold-up tactics weren’t seen to best effect when fourth of 9 at Pontefract latest and he’s almost certainly still at the top of his game. TFRHHHHI BHA89 (-1)
TIMEFORM VIEW Veteran who took advantage of drop in grade when successful at Ayr (6f, heavy) last autumn. Close to that form when second of 21 at York (6f, good to firm) in June and freshened up since a lesser effort back at Ayr in July. Any easing of the ground wouldn’t inconvenience him. TFRHHHII BHA84

THE TIMEFORM VIEW A useful sprint. ANYASI had Monday’s Musselburgh handicap winner Two Commanders behind in second when comfortably defying a penalty at Leicester last time and even an opening mark of 90 could underestimate this exciting colt.Veblen Good is shaping up to be one of those reliable David O’Meara handicappers and gets the nod for the forecast spot with Conor Whiteley taking a handy 5lb off. Art Lover, another unexposed 3-y-o, is next on the list ahead of Durham Castle.
TIMEFORM VIEW Placed at Listed level as a 2-y-o in 2024 but found things tough last term. Off 13 months ahead of first run since leaving Alice Haynes. The betting should help guide to expectations. TFRHHIII BHA82

TIMEFORM VIEW Proved at least as good as ever when landing the Thirsk Hunt Cup over 1m in May. Hasn’t reproduced that form since but he has shaped better than the result in a few of his recent starts, including at York last week (went off too hard). TFRHHHHH BHA92 (-1)

TIMEFORM VIEW Winless since her debut in 2024 but she’s a useful handicapper on her day and was a good second over 1m here off 2lb higher in May. Shaped as if back in form when fifth of 19 over 7f at York (soft) last Thursday and merits consideration. TFRHHHHI BHA83 (-1) 18

MIRSKY led for a long way in a strong 1m York handicap last week and is worth chancing having dropped to 1lb below the mark he defied in the Thirsk Hunt Cup in the spring. Bobby Bennu, Northern Express and Perfect Part are a few of many others to consider, while it’ll be very interesting to see how strong the betting vibes are surrounding twice-raced Karl Burke handicap newcomer Majestic Dane.

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful in France for Jean-Claude Rouget. Off 9 months, shaped as if retaining plenty of ability when fourth of 5 in handicap at Newbury (1 1/2m, good to firm) on return for new yard 13 days ago. Could build on that and worth siding with. TFRHHHHH BHA85

Sudu is surely better than he showed when strong in the betting for his course reappearance earlier in the month and is second choice ahead of Arrange.
TIMEFORM VIEW Successful 8 times on all-weather and he ran right up to his best in refitted blinkers when third in Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m) in June. Probably went off too hard when distant third at Southwell 8 days later but overall record on turf suggests it’s best to look elsewhere. TFRHHIII BHA84

TIMEFORM VIEW Strong traveller who scored by a wide-margin at Epsom (1 1/2m, good to firm) last summer. Strong in the market but last of 6 on 1 1/2m course reappearance in a first-time hood 3 weeks ago. The hood is quickly removed and no surprise were he to bounce back to form with a bang.
