Form & Verdict
C&D winner and has form figures of 2132 at around 1m in his last four starts; was turned over at odds-on in classified event here on Monday but that was behind a 3yo improver and he was short of room at a crucial stage; on unchanged mark back in a handicap and he's an interesting contender; has won on good to firm and heavy.

Form & Verdict
His two wins have come over 8.4f (soft) and 1m2f (good to firm) at Beverley and latest was in June; has mixed record since but is on a workable mark and did his best work late when fifth behind Chinese Spirit at Musselburgh yesterday (1m1f, good).

2-7 since switching to current stable in July, with both wins gained over 7f on ground slower than good; also suited by a quicker surface and his recent defeat at Catterick can be excused (trapped wide throughout); respectable fourth at Hamilton (1m) yesterday.

Form & Verdict
Completed an AW double at Newcastle (7f) in February and he got back on the scoresheet when justifying support under Alice Keighley at Redcar (1m, good to firm) ten days ago; steps back up in grade off 3lb higher but he found plenty last time and is still lightly raced at this trip; big player.

Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Dundalk (1m, Polytrack) last month but he was always out the back in his follow-up bid here (7f) on Saturday; now steps back up in trip but he has something to prove again on this quick turnaround.

Dropped down weights and had been hinting at better before his convincing 7f win at Musselburgh yesterday (good; Fanzone second); has more to do under a penalty back at 1m but not out of it if making a quick return.

Hasn't the best of strike-rates and hasn't won since May 2024 when scoring off 13lb higher mark at Ayr (7f, good); however, has run creditably on his last three starts, all over C&D, and is one with a chance.

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism with half-length win in classified event at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month, taking well to first-time blinkers and opening his account at the 16th attempt; that was a personal-best effort and he could have more to offer in headgear; entered 7:58 at Ayr on Thursday.

Five-time course winner, three of them over tonight's trip, latterly off 2lb lower last month; hit traffic in a messy affair at Wolverhampton latest and, while a bigger field would have been ideal (is usually dropped in and can pull), he's shortlisted.
