8st 9lb

J: Rhys Elliott

T: R Mike Smith

Scottish sprinter who rarely dips his toe over the border; scored at Ayr and Musselburgh last term but hasn't matched that this year, including when seventh of ten at Musselburgh on Monday; tries a new headgear combination.

9st 0lb

J: Rhys Elliott

T: R Mike Smith

Two of his three wins have been over C&D but losing run is mounting up; first-time tongue-tie could do with having a positive effect.

8st 9lb

J: Shay Farmer

T: R Mike Smith

C&D winner; yet to strike in 2026 but he has slipped down the weights and his latest C&D fifth was encouraging, just beginning to launch a challenge when forced to switch; each-way shout.

J: Shay Farmer

T: R Mike Smith

Triple 5f winner (good) including in this race last year; his last success was off 9lb higher last August but he's finished down the field in most of his runs since; now drops back in trip but he needs a major revival in second-time cheekpieces.

J: Rhys Elliott

Three 5f wins to his name, one of them at this track, but unplaced in six runs over 6f+; finished behind stablemate Whiskey Kisses over C&D last week; new cheekpieces not enough to tempt.
