Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on some of last season's 6f form for Ewan Whillans and looked suited by the strongly run 5f when keeping on for very respectable seventh (ahead of Bert Kibbler) on recent seasonal/stable debut at Musselburgh (good to soft); likely contender here.

Not won since his stellar campaign in 2024 but there has been promise this year, including at Hamilton on Friday; 2lb lower today and now sports cheekpieces for the first time; chance.

10yo who is winless since August 2024 and needs to improve upon his last few performances; however, he's a nine-time course winner, including this race in 2024, and his reduced mark appeals on form as recent as this May; not discounted.

Form & Verdict
Four-time AW winner who took form to new level with comfortable success from the front at Southwell (5f) in March; disappointing favourite off lower turf mark at Musselburgh last month but the early pace was hot and the good to soft ground may not have suited; today's race looks much less competitive and he can be given another chance.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish 8yo who started off for Ewan Whillans with two underwhelming AW runs in March (bled from nose on latter occasion); on good mark for turf return but needs to prove wellbeing; blinkers the headgear of choice today.

Nine-time winner over 5f for Eric Alston, the last twice in 2022; ended last season with two poor runs and changed hands for 1,200gns in December; new trainer can probably get her back on track at some stage, but her record when fresh is not compelling.

Seemingly boosted by addition of cheekpieces when winning twice last summer (5f/6f) but her campaign was truncated after two below-par runs last August and she's probably best watched on first outing for 258 days.

Nine-race maiden; posted some fairly good efforts over longer trips for the Barrons last year but finished last after racing too freely on stable debut in March (6f, AW) and looks risky on this drop back to 5f.
