Form & Verdict
0-6 but he's reached the frame in his three handicaps and he finished well when runner-up here (8.3f, good to soft) 12 days ago; on unchanged mark and he's an interesting contender on his step up to this trip.

9st 6lb

J: Connor Beasley

T: Michael Dods

He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results.

One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground.

Has been well held at 16-1 or bigger in his five handicaps, including a fading fifth with cheekpieces added at Beverley (1m2f, good to soft) last month; drops back in trip but he's now 0-8 and others are more convincing.

Well held at Wolverhampton on her debut in October but she's shaped with some promise in two small-field novice events at Newcastle (1m/7f) this spring; this is more realistic on handicap debut and she needs watching in market on this switch to turf.

Lightly raced 3yo who showed promise here in the spring; perhaps unsuited by heavy ground at Ayr two starts ago and by the first-time blinkers over this C&D last Tuesday (no headgear today); however, she's hard to fancy after those heavy defeats.

J: Daniel Tudhope

She has failed to progress and was tailed off at Musselburgh in July; however, the cheekpieces adopted that day are left off, she's had a break since, and there are some firm pointers in her pedigree that this lightly raced 3yo could be suited by today's first encounter with testing ground.

Form & Verdict
Looks well handicapped on his best 2yo form but he's an inconsistent seven-race maiden who was tailed off in a Beverley handicap (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; comes with risks attached and he's one of two runners for the yard.
