Reliable sort who returned to winning ways over 7f (all three wins have been at that trip) at Ayr last time; should give it best shot but vulnerable back over this distance.

J: Lauren Young

T: Iain Jardine

Second to an in-form subsequent winner over C&D (good to firm) last month and again ran well when close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) nine days ago; remains on a workable mark; must be considered.

Form & Verdict
Two of three turf wins have been over this C&D and, although up 7lb and up in grade after most recent win (refitted blinkers, on again), she could easily get her own way in front; along with Thaki, she gives her trainer a strong hand.

Form & Verdict
Had a good time of it last year with four wins over 7f and 1m but, although running respectably on first run over 6f last time, he'll need a good gallop to aim at if he's to win this.

Hold-up performer who is thrown in on his 2025 form; yet to get going this time around but he wasn't beaten far at Carlisle 11 days ago and cheekpieces could give him a lift.

J: Paul Mulrennan

Not one to rely on but he hinted at a revival with fifth of nine over C&D 16 days ago; a three-time C&D scorer so can't be discounted off a reduced mark.

Form & Verdict
One-time decent sort but has slipped a fair way in the weights in recent times and, given he's not won since 2019, he can be taken on again on this first run since December.

His mark continues to fall but his close AW third last November was his sole bright point last season and he hasn't shone on either run this year; bolted before start and withdrawn at Newcastle recently (33-1 at the time).

J: P J McDonald

T: Ewan Whillans

Won his first two starts as a 2yo including here (6f), but 0-30 since; 5lb lower than when beaten less than a length back here (6f) last November, but his profile is a concern and he needs the blinkers to make a difference.

4 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Usually loses ground at the start but won over 6f on both turf and AW last year; stable among winners and interesting to see if there's any cash for him on first run since October (below best).
