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.

Relishes an uphill finish and has seven wins at Hamilton and one at Pontefract; hasn't been in the best of form since his seasonal debut and this track unlikely to play to his strengths.

Best known for his heroics at Hamilton; safely held three times since placed there (8.3f, good) in May but had heavy ground as valid excuse at Ayr on Tuesday and remains 1lb lower than when winning this race in 2025.

Form & Verdict
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.

Form & Verdict
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.

Eight-race maiden whose form has regressed on turf, but she twice ran with credit here (7f/1m) in the spring and interesting to see if the return to this surface brings about a resurgence; blinkers given a go.

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.
