Form & Verdict
Beaten on last 15 starts going back to last May and he wasn't at his best last time; has raced over 7f in the main this season, but he was an encouraging third of 16 off this mark at York (6f, good to soft) in July and a strong pace in this big field should see him to good effect; a possible.

Winless since October 2021; his last five victories have come on soft/heavy ground but he would have been bang there on good going over C&D in June if he'd enjoyed a clear run; very close third off this mark at Doncaster (6f, soft) last time out and he has a solid record at Ayr; likely player.

He was well backed when winning a small-field C&D handicap in May but even his most fervent supporters would have struggled to envisage the progress that has followed this summer, adding six more sprint handicaps and soaring up the weights; better than ever when second at York's Ebor meeting (5.5f, good to firm) last month, form that has been well advertised since; races off the same mark today and he is one of two good chances for Jim Goldie.

Dual course winner who is ideally suited by good or quicker ground; has mixed record this season but he went close at Newcastle (7f) on his penultimate run and had an excuse when hampered over C&D last time; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets some luck.

Has left his mark in much better races than this and although on a long losing run he's been given a real chance by the handicapper; might have needed his latest run after a break and the return to soft ground will suit; not ruled out.

Can be slowly away, which would be costly now back down in trip, and he's done all of his winning over 7f-plus; however, a fast-run race in a big field over 6f could play to this hold-up horse's strengths, and he arrives in good form having won at Southwell (7f, AW) recently; has won here twice.
