Two of his three successes have come over C&D and she recorded another good effort here when runner-up a week ago; she ought to be in the shake-up once more.

Bagged a remarkable 11th C&D success in June; only sixth of eight in 7f Musselburgh handicap 11 days ago but no surprise to see her bounce back here.

Has run well over C&D in the past but Hamilton is her spiritual home and she has added another two wins at that venue this summer, the latest a comfortable front-running success (6f, good to firm) in Class 6 company five days ago; 5lb higher over an extra furlong on a different track and in a higher grade so this may not be her day.

Battled well for narrow C&D (good to soft) win a fortnight ago and lost out only by a neck over C&D (good) last week; back in action before latest 1lb nudge takes effect; likely contender again.

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Richard & Peter Fahey

Back to his best last year and his reappearance second of 13 at Pontefract (5f) in April sent his mark to new heights; hasn't matched that in three starts since but last time's fifth of ten from the widest stall at Chester (6f, also good to soft; not clear run) suggests this mark isn't beyond him; in the picture.

His year started well when bustling up Saturday's Epsom "Dash" winner at Pontefract (5f, good to soft) in April but his two runs last month didn't come close and he has the widest stall.

Form & Verdict
Course winner but he came in only sixth (in a change of headgear) at Carlisle (5f) last month; usual blinkers are refitted and more is needed if he's to end a lengthy losing run.

Course winner (5f; August 2021); now rated 21lb lower than when last successful at Carlisle the following summer; it is difficult to be enthused though by his latest effort at Nottingham (5f, soft; ninth of 11, beaten 8l); others preferred.

Consistent on turf (without winning) last summer; creditable efforts (fourth to Supreme King and Howzak respectively) over 6f here through the early weeks of 2026; worth another go over 7f, even if it isn't obvious that he's crying out for this longer trip.
