9st 0lb

J: Jamie Spencer

T: Charlie Johnston

Loves Ripon where he won again last month by a narrow margin; badly in under a penalty when a close third over 1m6f here 12 days ago and he's 2lb lower for this; can be relied upon to give his running and be seriously involved.

2/1

Form: 113-43

Last run: 12 days

W: 9st 11lb

5 yo Gelding

OR: 84

Form & Verdict
Four wins over 1m6f/1m4f on good to firm ground, three of them last year; not far off his best form when third of six at York 12 days ago; much more to prove if the ground is softer than good.

Four-time winner over 1m6f/1m4f on good to firm; not quite at his best this season (best of those runs was in June on second start) but well treated if back to his 2022 level.

Form & Verdict
Easily most of his races have been at Ayr; runner-up on penultimate start on his only appearance at Carlisle, admittedly in just a five-runner race (1m6f); needs more like last year's form but he is sinking in the weights and now on a career-low mark.

9st 8lb

J: David Allan

T: R Mike Smith

Veteran who led close home over 1m5f here (good to firm) last month, his 13th success; also suited by this shorter trip, but was effectively 3lb below that last winning mark when only fourth over C&D a week later and his new mark has taken effect; younger rivals look better treated.

J: Clifford Lee

T: R Mike Smith

Veteran who was recording his 12th win at the track when leading close home over 1m5f last week; able to race off a 3lb lower mark today and he has to be of interest from a handicapping perspective.

J: Shay Farmer

T: R Mike Smith

Long in the tooth now and needs to better his recent efforts but was close third off 4lb higher at Hamilton (1m1f, good to firm) in May and is probably better suited by today's trip; can't rule out.
