8st 11lb

J: Alex Jary

T: Gary Rutherford

Three course wins, the latest last August, and he's well treated on that form (even from out of the weights today); however, this season's form has been mixed and others have more pressing claims.

Three wins over 1m4f here, the latest off 4lb higher last August (good) when with Dianne Sayer; tailed off over 1m5f here last time (slowly away); takes a significant drop in trip; cheekpieces tried.

Bollin Neil

9st 6lb

J: Jake Dickson

T: Tim Easterby

The latest of his 12 wins (Flat/hurdles) came at Catterick (1m6f, good) last October when ridden by Jake Dickson; flattered by proximity to eased-down winner at Ripon (2m, soft) ten days ago, but that rival has won twice again since and this 10yo may step forward from that first run since January.

J: Jake Dickson

T: Tim Easterby

Catterick specialist (Flat and jumps); won twice at that North Yorkshire venue (1m6f-2m; from lower marks) last October, but off since producing a laboured effort over hurdles there - post-race examination revealed no abnormalities - in January; veteran stablemate of Zimmerman.

Sophiesticate

9st 3lb

J: Cian Horgan

T: R Mike Smith

Won by 3l at Musselburgh (1m5f, good) in July and remains on a handy mark; she's run some good races here but her last four wins have come at Musselburgh and she was well beaten at Hamilton (1m3f, soft) last time.

Sophiesticate

9st 8lb

J: Shay Farmer

T: R Mike Smith

She had been running with credit this season prior to her comfortable win at Musselburgh (1m5f, good); up 6lb but she still has handicapping scope on last year's best; all wins on good ground but appears to handle soft.

Aighear

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

Mixed form this season but she kept on for an encouraging fourth at Hamilton (1m5f, soft) four weeks ago and won this race both in 2022 (good to soft) and last year (soft); capable of playing a leading role back here and back up in trip.

Aighear

J: Lauren Young

Not found her best form in 2026 but she's down in the weights and she came good with a pair of Ayr wins on slow ground last autumn; will be more appealing when back down in grade, though.

Sole success from 29 starts came over C&D last summer; enough good runs this year to bring him into the reckoning in this field.

Poor strike-rate but there have been several good runs in defeat this year and his record at Hamilton reads -30222; has run well on soft but a slightly quicker surface may be ideal.
