T: Lawrence Mullaney

Off the mark at the 20th attempt when battling well to justify support at Musselburgh (7f, good) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he beat a clear second last time and his confidence could be boosted after that success; big player again with cheekpieces added.

J: Oliver Stammers

T: Lawrence Mullaney

Out the back on first four outings for Lawrence Mullaney but big step back in the right direction when second in 7f Southwell classified event seven weeks ago, pulling clear with one who has won and finished a close second in two handicap starts since; his last 11 outings have been on AW but was runner-up over C&D (good) in August 2024; bold show likely if a wide stall isn't too much of an inconvenience.

Hasn't the best of strike-rates and hasn't won since May 2024 when scoring off 13lb higher mark at Ayr (7f, good); however, has run creditably on his last three starts, all over C&D, and is one with a chance.

0-13 since winning at Ayr last May but this two-time C&D winner has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); has won on good to soft; might not be far away.

Two-time course winner, the latest in July (1m2f, good to soft), and she's effective on soft ground; well beaten at Musselburgh on last two starts and has something to prove, but the latest was over 1m6f and perhaps the drop back in trip and return to Ayr will be the catalyst for a revival.

1-30; that win a narrow one at Newcastle (6f) in March 2025; runner-up at that same venue (5f) two months ago but less productive at Thirsk and Hamilton since; the least likely of the three Jim Goldie-trained runners.

Still seeking her first win for this yard but she has often run well, including over C&D, and her second here three weeks ago was on the back of a 190-day layoff; that form has been franked and she should make another bold bid.
