Ran on heavy twice last autumn, for one heavy defeat and one creditable second; ultra-reliable this season, including three 1m5f wins (one here); on a career-high mark but has to be taken very seriously.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Jim Goldie

First visit here; excels at Hamilton, where she was short-headed last month (1m4f, soft), and she was always behind at Ayr on Thursday on a very rare crack at 1m2f (heavy); attempts at this trip have also been scarce but there have been hints that it's a distance at which she could have untapped potential.

J: Paul Mulrennan

Lost a lot of ground at the start at Ayr last Thursday so there's a risk attached on the back of that; however, in the circumstances she did well to finish third of six (beaten just over 9l) and three of her last four wins have come here (on various ground) including this race last year; capable.

Form & Verdict
Gelded and much better in his three handicaps, also having cheekpieces; won at Catterick in June on first occasion and good places at Newmarket (again 1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f); now tries blinkers and very different ground, as he's raced on only AW or good to firm; 3yo who's relatively unexposed and has to be considered.

Fair Flat racer who launched hurdling career with two fairly promising 2m runs this season; took a backward step here last time but moves up in trip for this handicap hurdle debut and could be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces (he had a good record in headgear on the Flat).
