Form & Verdict
Has a fine record fresh and made another successful reappearance at Southwell (1m, AW) in March; not matched it in three starts since and although the return to this trip may suit he does have a bit to prove.

J: Jack Cleary

T: Tom McGuinness

Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring at Dundalk (1m, Polytrack) last month but he was always out the back in his follow-up bid here (7f) on Saturday; now steps back up in trip but he has something to prove again on this quick turnaround.

Form & Verdict
Just 1lb higher than when winning here (1m1f, good) last August and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fifth of ten over the same trip back here (good) last month, but not the most consistent and well held at Hamilton (1m, good) four days later; this trip looks a bare minimum for him now.

Form & Verdict
Better known as a sprinter (all five wins at 5f), but he went close when stepped up in trip at Ayr (7f, good) 11 days ago; has another furlong to cope with here, but he wasn't stopping at the end last time and with no obvious front-runner this may not be strongly run in any case; interesting.

7-91 but without a win since July 2024; didn't get the breaks when fifth at Southwell (6f) on penultimate start and was an encouraging third to an in-form pair over C&D (beaten under 2l) 11 days ago; a likely player under Mulrennan.

Form & Verdict
Tends to win in his turn and was ending a 17-race losing run at Hamilton (1m, good to firm) on Wednesday; 5lb penalty still leaves him favourably treated on his form as recently as last summer, so he has to be respected.

Form & Verdict
Won here as 2yo; first success since came at Carlisle (1m1f, good to firm) on Friday in clearcut fashion, coming from last to first under Mark Winn in a six-runner race; with plenty of places as well this season and no penalty resulting from yesterday's win, he looks sure to be bang there if in the same form so soon afterwards.

Has done most racing this year over 1m and hasn't looked to see it out in a couple of runs over middle distances; long odds-on to blow the start and there are risks involved from 2lb out of the handicap.

Has twice run well to finish fourth since returning from wind surgery last month, firstly here (1m1f, good) and then at Catterick (7f, good to firm) nine days ago; 3lb lower than when gaining her sole success over C&D (good to firm) last summer and worth a second look.

Most effective at sharp tracks; justified favouritism when fending off Ideal Guest over C&D (good to firm) last July and now 5lb lower; step back in the right direction when third to Filey Beach over C&D (14-1, beaten over 2l) ten days ago; interesting to see if she can back that up.
