J: Connor Beasley

T: Michael Dods

Belatedly exploited his drop down the handicap at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in July and he added two more wins over that C&D in the next fortnight; came up short in his bid for a four-timer at Doncaster three weeks ago; not handicapped out of things though and could bounce back.

Back in fine form this summer since stepped up to 7f and he narrowly completed a hat-trick under a 7lb penalty at Ayr 19 days ago; this strong traveller merits serious consideration despite a further 3lb rise.

A dual 7f winner early in 2026 and he's holding his form well, beaten a nose when second of five in 7f Ayr handicap 25 days ago; this C&D scorer can make his presence felt.

Multiple wins include three over C&D earlier in his career; has run well on occasions since a narrow Musselburgh win (7f, good) in April off this mark and a recent never-nearer third of eight there under Jake Dickson puts him in this picture; yard runs three.

Last September's Newmarket debut (7f, good to firm) was full of promise; failed to build on it when fifth of ten at Chelmsford last month but that run may have been needed and she can surely do better back on turf and upped in trip.

J: Lauren Young

All three of his wins have come at Ayr (7f) in Class 5 company; he is effective elsewhere though and his latest Musselburgh fifth can be upgraded a touch as he saw little daylight in the home straight; others preferred for win purposes all the same.

Dual winner at Ayr (7f, good to firm/good) this year but his recent record is very mixed and he was last of five over that C&D 11 days ago; not easy to predict here and probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark.
