Ran on heavy twice last autumn, for one heavy defeat and one creditable second; ultra-reliable this season, including three 1m5f wins (one here); on a career-high mark but has to be taken very seriously.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential.

Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable.

Form & Verdict
Gelded and much better in his three handicaps, also having cheekpieces; won at Catterick in June on first occasion and good places at Newmarket (again 1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f); now tries blinkers and very different ground, as he's raced on only AW or good to firm; 3yo who's relatively unexposed and has to be considered.

Scored in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut for James Ferguson in June 2024 and signed off for him with good effort in first-time blinkers the following September; makes stable debut after 580-day absence and with no headgear but is versatile regarding ground; market helpful.
