Form & Verdict
Gained both his wins over shorter trips a Hamilton but recovered from very sluggish start to take fourth behind St Andrew's Castle over this C&D (good) a fortnight ago; remains on a good mark and will be dangerous if today's headgear switch has any sort of positive effect.

In career-best form on the Flat this year, winning twice over 1m on Tapeta at Newcastle (latest RPR 86); should be fine stamina-wise over hurdles and has possibilities here if he finds some fluency.

Form & Verdict

First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential.

J: Paul Mulrennan

Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable.

Form & Verdict
Won on Polytrack for Hughie Morrison last summer and posted best run for new stable when close third to St Andrew's Castle over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; good claims if judged on that evidence but was last of six after racing too freely at Carlisle on Thursday; tongue-tie added here.

Form & Verdict
Has very good strike-rate for a horse of his ability (8-42; includes three C&D wins in 2022) and made pleasing seasonal debut behind Royal Countess over C&D (good to firm) last month; disappointed in C&D race won by St Andrew's Castle a fortnight ago but still features prominently in calculations.

4 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Raced mainly over 6f/7f but was evidently well suited by step up to 1m2f when scoring over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; 3lb rise demands a bit more from him today, but he remains unexposed over this trip.
