AW winner in Ireland; mostly consistent in defeat for current yard, after wind surgery in last two races; this is his trip and unlikely to be too far away.

Glorious Kitty

9st 8lb

J: Lewis Chalkley

T: Michael & David Easterby

Off the mark at the 15th attempt when making all under Lewis Chalkley in an Ayr apprentice handicap (1m, good to firm) nine days ago; 4lb well in and dropping in trip shouldn't be a problem, but whether she will be allowed her own way again is debatable.

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Jim Goldie

Debut 6f winner (good) who has been unable to better that effort or add to that success in 11 further starts; well beaten twice since switching to his current trainer but it's not long since this would have looked a very handy mark and he would be a big player if bouncing back.

Al Muqdad

J: David Nolan

T: David O’Meara

His form has been patchy since an easy win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last November but he's 2lb below that last winning mark and his form figures at Ayr read 3112, so it will be no surprise if he's in the mix.

J: Jason Watson

Ran away with a 0-70 handicap over C&D in November but hit with a 10lb rise and he has come up short in eight subsequent runs; now back to his last winning mark and cheekpieces return after being left off at Southwell ten days ago; one to consider.

Ashen

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

0-11 but he has not been with Jim Goldie long and his latest Musselburgh third (1m, good) was encouraging; Paul Mulrennan replaces an apprentice today and a bigger effort could be forthcoming.

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

0-10 and has come seventh on his three starts for this yard (7f/6f); however, he hasn't been running badly, with his latest effort coming in a big field at Thirsk, and there have been hints that his return to 1m may suit.

Looked to be coming to the boil when third at Southwell last month but two subsequent turf efforts have been blighted by slow starts; on a dangerous mark but he goes without any accessories and needs to get it right at the stalls.

Resurgent 7yo who battled well over C&D (good) last month and has now won four times this year; might be a shade vulnerable after latest 4lb rise but ought to give another good account.
