J: Jason Hart

T: Tristan Davidson

Usually a front-runner; doesn't have the best of strike-rates (2-22) but three good runs in blinkers at Ayr (1m; all on good to firm; has form on good to soft) in June and he stays this trip; a possible.

J: Jack Garritty

T: Tristan Davidson

Prominent racer; galvanised by first-time blinkers when winning at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last month and although he has been expensive to follow since, he has still performed with great credit; the headgear was left off at Ayr last week but returns today; big run expected.

Handles all surfaces; many good runs on turf over the last year, making all in first-time blinkers here (1m, good to firm) in July and two solid efforts since; headgear left off now tackling 7f for the first time since 2yo days in Ireland but has another good run in him.
