Form & Verdict
3yo who made it 2-3 when winning competitive York handicap (7f, good) in May; took step back in right direction with close fifth of 24 at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month in a first-time visor (retained), but he hasn't progressed as perhaps could have been expected and he needs a bigger run here.

Lightly raced 4yo who won four times this summer (two over C&D) and returned to winning ways when getting up in the final strides here (5f, good) yesterday; she's 4lb higher in a hotter race today but is clearly thriving and could be bang there if this doesn't come too soon.

All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred.

Useful 5f turf form in 2025 but his season slowed down later in the year and he's been below best, despite the reduced mark, this term; 0-3 on Newcastle AW but he did handle that Tapeta earlier in his career, so perhaps the switch to this track might pay off in first-time headgear.

Kept taking steps forward, most recently when a cosy winner at Hamilton (6f, good; has won on heavy) in July so a hefty defeat as favourite for the Ayr Silver Cup since was a blow; perhaps fitting cheekpieces will help, perhaps not; up against it on these terms either way.
