Prominent racer and another of these having a good season; close up behind Accrual and Moulin Booj here last time and he's better off at the weights with both.

J: Billy Garritty

Prominent racer; thriving this season, winning three of his last five starts with the latest a cosy success at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 4lb but he needs serious consideration; stable also runs American Bay.

Form & Verdict
She's been running well in the main this season and has finished second at Ayr (5f, good/good to firm) on her two starts this month; she's won over C&D and there's every chance that she'll be bang there.

8st 2lb

J: Lauren Young

Unproven on ground slower than good to soft; five-time winner (5f/6f), the most recent win at Musselburgh in April off a 10lb lower mark than today's; second in each of her last five starts, including when ahead of a few of today's rivals at Goodwood (6f, good) two starts back, but now tries 7f for the first time off a career-high mark.

Four wins, including over C&D last season; won off 4lb lower over C&D again in April (good) but has finished second five times since, last week going down by a neck in a 6f fillies' handicap at Goodwood (good); 5lb well in; interesting contender.

J: Lauren Young

Five-time winner having a consistent season but her handicap mark hasn't really gone anywhere despite several placed efforts over 5f in lower-grade races than this; has won over this far but the chances are she'll come up short once again.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form when making all in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) in a selling handicap over C&D (good to firm) last month; lost a shoe when down the field at Ayr (5f, good to firm) on Monday but this is a hotter race than the one he won here two starts ago and others are more compelling.

Gained the second of his two C&D wins in June when wearing cheekpieces for the first time (good); well beaten last two starts, but blinkers didn't work on first occasion and he didn't stay 6f at Catterick on Monday; could bounce back.

All his wins have come over 5f, the latest at Hamilton in June (good to firm; cheekpieces first time); mixed bag since and although returning to Class 6 company will help, he may prove vulnerable to stronger stayers.
