Reliable sort who returned to winning ways over 7f (all three wins have been at that trip) at Ayr last time; should give it best shot but vulnerable back over this distance.

Gained last five wins on AW but has proved consistent in Scotland since returned to turf; finished 1l second at Ayr (7f) most recently; reasonably solid contender in current form.

J: Andrew Mullen

T: Iain Jardine

Hasn't won on turf for more than three years but he's run plenty of good races this season including when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) in May and close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in June; hasn't made an impact in last two runs but this drop back in trip is a positive and he's in the mix.

Tough, consistent sort; hasn't won on turf for more than three years but plenty of decent placed runs this term, including when second over 1m here in May (good to firm) and when close third over 6f at Hamilton in June (good to soft); yet to win over 1m.

Form & Verdict
Two of three turf wins have been over this C&D and, although up 7lb and up in grade after most recent win (refitted blinkers, on again), she could easily get her own way in front; along with Thaki, she gives her trainer a strong hand.

Had a good time of it last year with four wins over 7f and 1m but, although running respectably on first run over 6f last time, he'll need a good gallop to aim at if he's to win this.

T: Jim Goldie

Four-time course winner (7f/1m) who acts on good to firm and good to soft; did well to finish a close third after missing the break at Hamilton (8.3f) nine days ago but he's not easy to predict and was always behind over C&D on Saturday night; risks attached.

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Talented and well treated; multiple wins include two over C&D; nearly all his wins under Paul Mulrennan, who prefers Sanafi Zabeel, but he's also gone well for Lauren Young and ran creditably for her at Hamilton last week; the likely strong pace will suit and he's capable of a big run.

Form & Verdict
One-time decent sort but has slipped a fair way in the weights in recent times and, given he's not won since 2019, he can be taken on again on this first run since December.

His mark continues to fall but his close AW third last November was his sole bright point last season and he hasn't shone on either run this year; bolted before start and withdrawn at Newcastle recently (33-1 at the time).

T: Ewan Whillans

Won his first two starts as a 2yo including here (6f), but 0-30 since; 5lb lower than when beaten less than a length back here (6f) last November, but his profile is a concern and he needs the blinkers to make a difference.

Form & Verdict
Usually loses ground at the start but won over 6f on both turf and AW last year; stable among winners and interesting to see if there's any cash for him on first run since October (below best).
