Form & Verdict
All three wins have been on turf and she was unfortunate when slowly away after her blindfold came off late when staying on to finish third of nine at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) nine days ago; pulled too hard when sixth of nine here (6f, good) three days ago; needs to settle over this extra furlong.

Won two in a row in July, including her second C&D victory (good to soft), and she's also won on soft ground; however, she hasn't been at her very best on her last three outings and needs something extra today.

Form & Verdict
Has tumbled down the weights and due to go down a further 4lb after today; the return of a tongue-tie and switch from cheekpieces to visor (retained) did little to halt his decline when tenth of 13 at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) nine days ago; others preferred.

Losing run up to 18 and entitled to have run better than he did at Ayr last time (7f; handles soft); had been running quite well, though, and cheekpieces now replace a visor.

Losing run is mounting up; however, has proved consistent in the last two months and latest effort can be marked up (met traffic issues); defied a much higher mark over C&D in 2023 and enters the reckoning.

Can front-run; made all at Ayr (7f, soft) in July but he failed to back that up at that same track next time; fair fourth having dictated the gallop at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft) three weeks ago and now returns to 7f.

J: Laura Pearson

T: John Berry

Beaten in her first 17 starts but she made a winning debut for John Berry when comfortably accounting for her rivals at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 299 days ago; although she has an absence to contend with, she was a non-runner for races in both April and May so is likely to be forward enough; 5lb rise and shorter trip might find her out though.

Form & Verdict
Got off the mark on turf here (1m, good to firm) last May and won again at Musselburgh (7f, good to soft) in October; never on terms when seventh of ten on seasonal debut at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month and may need to come down a few pounds.
