J: David Nolan

T: David & Nicola Barron

C&D winner; it has been a while since his latest success but he has slipped down the weights and both this year's C&D runs (in deeper races) were encouraging; can go well fresh and a big run is on the cards.

Without a win since August 2024 but well treated on last year's best efforts and he shaped when seventh of 14 over C&D three weeks ago as though he'd be sharper for that comeback run; seems to like it here; on the shortlist.

Won a 5f handicap off this mark at Newmarket (good to firm) last August; she has run some fair races this year but her latest effort (tried in cheekpieces, usual visor back on today) wasn't one of them; no surprise to see her bounce back quickly.

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Often promised better as a 3yo; ran well over C&D on his reappearance in April and confirmed that promise by seeing off 16 rivals here eight days later; his progress has stalled more recently but it wouldn't be a great surprise to see him return to form back at Musselburgh.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

Often threatened better as a 3yo and he has made good progress this year, albeit he only has one win (5f, good to soft) to show for it; not beaten far into fifth in a blanket finish at Thirsk 17 days ago (5f, good); now sports a hood for the first time and that could help this free-going sort.

Steadily progressive at two (bagged 5f Musselburgh maiden) and he resumed from nine months off with a good fourth of 14 over C&D last month; possibilities.

Didn't have to improve to win a four-runner Musselburgh maiden last July (5f, good; at 1-6); creditable seventh in the Super Sprint at Newbury 18 days later; absent since; one of three runners for Kevin Ryan.

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.

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.

Ecclefechan

J: Alice Bond

T: John Ryan

0-13 and he hasn't suggested he's about to cash in on a reduced mark, including when sixth of ten at Carlisle (7f) last Thursday; he's never gone closer than when a neck second at Musselburgh last August on his sole start at 5f, however, which could be a straw to clutch to.
