Form & Verdict
Big improver who completed a four-timer with a smooth win over C&D (good) last Monday; still looks well ahead of the game under a penalty for that success and she could continue on the upgrade; strong contender.

Jannas Journey

9st 4lb

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Had a wonderful 2025, winning seven times at 6f-1m on a range of surfaces; not much to celebrate this year, and this is her first course run, but back on her last winning mark and a revival should come at some stage.

J: Rhys Elliott

T: Jim Goldie

Down the field at Musselburgh (where she won last September) and Ascot on her three starts this season; she needs to get back on track but seven visits to Ayr have yielded five wins and the return to this track may well prompt a revival.

Form & Verdict
Scored off 11lb higher over C&D (good) last May but he's struggled in his last six runs, including a 10l defeat behind Jannas Journey here last Monday; has lots to prove and he needs a big turnaround.

Hasn't the best of strike-rates and hasn't won since May 2024 when scoring off 13lb higher mark at Ayr (7f, good); however, has run creditably on his last three starts, all over C&D, and is one with a chance.

0-13 since winning at Ayr last May but this two-time C&D winner has been runner-up on his last two starts, most recently over C&D (good); has won on good to soft; might not be far away.

Form & Verdict
Emphatic win on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f, AW) last March but he's 0-13 since and has form figures of 6790706 this season; mark continues to fall but he needs a major revival; cheekpieces removed.

Course winner (1m2f) when trained by Archie Watson; struggled for this yard in 2025 and the addition of a tongue tie and return of cheekpieces aren't enough to tempt.

Sole win came for previous trainer Archie Watson over 1m2f at Newcastle (11-8 favourite) in March 2024; 0-11 for this trainer and continues to slide in the weights; has plenty of work to do with Monhammer and Ahamoment on recent C&D evidence.

7 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
His last win was two years ago but he had plenty of close calls last season, and this 7yo returned to form with a close fourth over C&D (good) last Saturday; could be dangerous if he can back that up and he's in the mix.

Not the most consistent but still capable on his day, as when winning a 6f handicap at Newcastle in December (2lb higher today); handy draw and no surprise to see him show up well.

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Linda Perratt

Sole win from 18 starts on the AW came at Newcastle (6f, AW) in December and bounced back to form when runner-up there ten days ago; makes each-way appeal returned to 7f off a 2lb lower mark (4lb well in).

Form & Verdict
Smart performer in his prime but last win was in July 2022 and he's been out of sorts in last five starts; may have needed his comeback run at Galway last month but this looks tough against Jannas Journey and he's best watched.
