MOONSHINE is improving and can notch up a third win of the year. Crimson Spirit has developed into a really likeable type and can go well again having won a big-field Goodwood handicap last week.

Verdict
Likeable type who got back on the up with success in 20-runner handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Avoided the trouble there but he remains one to be very positive about up 4 lb.

Verdict
Upwardly-mobile Starman filly who went 2-4 this season in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 59 days ago. Up 6 lb but that form has worked out well so she must enter calculations back up in trip.

Verdict
A dual 7f scorer in 2025. Back to that sort of form of late, fifth of 11 in handicap at Ascot (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago. Could figure back down in class.

Verdict
Useful 3-time 7f winner for James Owen. Good second for current yard at York (7f) in July and run best forgiven (unable to get cover) when sixteenth of 20 to Crimson Spirit in handicap at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Not out of things.

Verdict
Progressive in 2024 but record this season has been patchy and he failed to beat a rival in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 7 days ago. Visor goes on now.

Made all in a good contest at Chester last August. Yet to hit top form in a pair of 7f handicaps at York this summer but dropped another 2 lb.
