Form & Verdict
Progressive 3yo but his form headed south last year; back to winning ways when making all at Bath (5f, firm) four weeks ago; his head carriage has always been a bit ungainly but he's tough to pass when on song; major player despite the 4lb rise.

J: Joey Haynes

Back to his best this year, winning three times from the front, latterly from the same stall over C&D in July; did it easily that day but finds himself 9lb higher as a result, which will test him back from a couple of months off.

Made all twice in a row this spring (including over C&D on good to firm) and bounced back from his third of six at Yarmouth for another front-running win at Lingfield (5f, AW) last Monday; had plenty in hand last time and he's 5lb well in under a 5lb penalty; could prove tough to catch.

J: Joey Haynes

Has won on the AW but off a much lower mark and all his best efforts have come on turf, including two wins in the spring; looked like the handicapper may have caught up again when third to Michaela's Boy last time and he's drawn wide today.

Form & Verdict
Back-to-back 5f wins last August saw her soar up the weights; struggled in Listed company on her final two runs last year and she was again well held on her seasonal return at Ripon last month; down in class today and a better run is expected.

Thriving of late and she cosily made it two wins from her last three starts in ten-runner handicap at Doncaster (5f, good) 13 days ago; up 3lb but this C&D scorer seems sure to be on the premises again with promising 5lb claimer Conor Whiteley up again.

Good efforts on his last three starts, not quite able to peg back Law Of Average's advantage when second at Bath four weeks ago (5f, firm); 2lb better off today and he should give his running again.

Without a win since his debut at Yarmouth in April 2024 but he's posted three solid efforts since returning from an 85-day break, including in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton eight days ago; switches back to turf with good claims.

Yet to win on AW (0-7) and hasn't won anywhere since scoring on debut at Yarmouth (5f maiden) in April 2024; thereabouts lately, including when no extra close home over C&D (5-1) 32 days ago; newly applied cheekpieces are worth a go.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance.

Form & Verdict
In good order on AW over the winter, going close off this mark twice following a Class 4 win in November; returning to turf not a bother and he can't be discounted.

Most wins on the AW but able on turf and stayed on well for second here 20 days ago (good; might not prefer it softer); this is a better race but he'll appreciate chasing a strong pace if ground conditions are suitable; 2lb out of the weights.
