Form & Verdict
Seven-time sprint winner who handles most ground; just one success since August 2023 but he ran well to finish third in a Class 4 over C&D last month and is respected on this drop back in grade.

Has nine career wins, the most recent at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February off 2lb lower; should be better for his fourth of eight at Lingfield (6f, soft) last month and has won off 8lb higher when in his prime; not out of this.

Form & Verdict
4yo who recorded her fourth win when justifying support at Ayr (6f, good to soft) on Monday; this is tougher under a penalty but she was as good as ever last time and is versatile ground-wise; key player for in-form yard.

4-30; rated 5lb lower than when last successful at Ayr (6f, good to soft) last July; has been knocking on the door lately, runner-up on last two starts, including under Paul Mulrennan at Ayr; should have a positive role to play.

Form & Verdict
Only 1lb higher than for his Newmarket win (6f, good) last August but has mixed record since and was a remote last of seven at Leicester (7f, good to firm) last month; now drops in trip but he needs to bounce back again and others are more convincing; first-time visor replaces a hood.

Form & Verdict
Won a C&D maiden (soft) last August; well held in nurseries in final two 2yo runs but he reappeared with a good fourth over C&D in May and built on that when going close at Chester (6f, good) last month; still has potential as a sprint handicapper and he looks interesting off an unchanged mark.

Didn't run a bad race here for the Quinns and he turned in another solid effort at Hamilton when a close third of 13 in a 6f handicap (good ground) on last month's reappearance; has a belated first attempt at 5f today and he should give it another good go.

Fair record here for the Quinn yard; made a successful debut for his current trainer off 2lb lower last September but will need to be spot on as he returns from more than six months off.

Has useful pedigree but was disappointing in the second of his two runs for Charlie Appleby and he made a low-key start for new yard at Hamilton last month; still early days but he needs a transformation back at this trip on handicap debut.

Often threatened better as a 3yo and he has made good progress this year, albeit he only has one win (5f, good to soft) to show for it; not beaten far into fifth in a blanket finish at Thirsk 17 days ago (5f, good); now sports a hood for the first time and that could help this free-going sort.

Nine-time winner, including two over C&D; well handicapped on best form last season but has mixed record in Ireland this year and she's been out of sorts in last three runs; has questions to answer and she wouldn't want the ground to dry out.

T: Iain Jardine

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine.
