J: Rhys Elliott

T: Jim Goldie

Hamilton specialist who was tailed off there on his reappearance a fortnight ago (pulled hard); hard to fancy on the back of that but it may have got the freshness out of him and he's on his last winning mark; not a forlorn hope on his first visit here.

J: Rhys Elliott

Easily best known at Hamilton where he's 6-20, including two wins last summer; competitive if he returns in last season's peak form but he's needed at least his first run back in previous seasons.

Easily best known at Hamilton where he's 6-20, including two wins this summer; fourth in a blanket finish (also involving Mafting) there on penultimate start but well beaten at Ayr on latest and he has more to prove here; 7lb claimer enlisted.

Form & Verdict
None too consistent but he goes well in the mud and ran about as well as he's ever done when beaten a nose over C&D (soft) three weeks ago; raised 3lb as a result but that should not stop him putting up another bold show.

J: Lexie Clarkson

4-27 at Hamilton, which has dominated his itinerary but he also has two wins elsewhere; made a respectable return to Flat over C&D two weeks ago under Lexie Clarkson and could build on that to get seriously involved.

J: Lexie Clarkson

Four-time course winner, most recently over today's trip (good to soft) in September; ended 2025 with two below-par hurdle runs, though, and would appeal more on ground slower than good.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 6yo; returning from third lengthy absence (and second breathing operation) when ninth of 12 over C&D (soft) three weeks ago on first start for this stable; needs to build on that but it's not inconceivable that he will; has possibilities.

Returned from a long absence to make stable debut in July and he was an encouraging third of six at Hamilton (1m3f, heavy) in August on his second start back; continues to drop down the weights and he could take another step back in the right direction this afternoon; one to consider.
