9st 6lb

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: Jim Goldie

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.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

Began the season looking an exposed handicapper but he's made remarkable progress, winning seven times and climbing 29lb in the weights; early speed has been the feature of his wins and this track is likely to suit better than Ascot last time; Paul Mulrennan is back on board today and he shouldn't be passed over lightly.

Having a remarkable season, notching win number seven for the campaign at Hamilton last Saturday; with a 6lb rise he's up a total of 31lb since his first success in the spring, but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet; equally effective at 5f/6f, and good ground or firmer is ideal.
