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.

Retains plenty of vitality aged ten and gamely made all over C&D (soft) last Monday, registering a tenth win at Hamilton; should remain competitive kept to this scenario, even with a 4lb penalty.

Multiple course wins and he was a close third of 11 over this C&D (good to soft) in August; well below best in two starts since, in first-time cheekpieces in the Bronze Cup at Ayr on Friday, but he's hard to rule out back on this track; further rain probably not helpful though.

Cheekpieces on for the first time when ending a long losing sequence at Ayr (6f) in July; backed it up with a good third of 11 at Hamilton (5f) a week ago; must enter calculations back up to 6f with headgear retained.

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.

Not the best of draws but he is a hold-up performer in any case; all seven wins have come on Tapeta, including three over C&D, the latest from 4lb lower in April; beaten only a neck here a fortnight ago and capable of playing a part if they go quick enough.

7-40 AW, including three C&D wins, the latest (from 2lb lower) in April; third to stablemate Sixcor at Ayr (5f) on penultimate start, but below that level of form over 6f subsequently; isn't discounted with Tom Kiely-Marshall taking off 5lb.
