Has five wins including one over C&D; ran well when second over C&D in June off 4lb higher mark but has been below that form in four runs since; has possibilities if a return to this track works the oracle.

9st 8lb

J: James Sullivan

Won five times last summer and went the best part of two stone up the weights; patchy this time and often takes plenty of driving but is 2lb lower than when last successful and will find this a touch easier.

Form & Verdict
Both Flat wins came at Beverley in May last year when trained by Ollie Sangster; scored over hurdles in May; hasn't fired on the Flat this year and a visor is back on, replacing blinkers.

Won twice on the Flat (1m2f-1m4f) for Ollie Sangster and once over hurdles (2m2f, Kelso) for Rebecca Menzies; beaten 22l and 76l in two starts for new trainer; easing mark isn't enough to recommend.

1-8 over hurdles, the win gained off 1lb lower mark at Kelso (2m2f, good) in May; disappointed on both recent Flat starts, though, and arrives here with a point to prove.

OR: 55

Form & Verdict
Consistent sort who got off the mark at the 19th attempt at Hamilton (1m5f, good) in July; versatile trip-wise, he has continued to perform with credit, finishing in the frame over 2m at Beverley and Ripon, latest in first-time cheekpieces (retained); should have no problem with the drop back in trip and holds good claims.

Consistent first year with Ruth Carr included solid second over C&D (good to firm) and a win over 1m5f at Hamilton (good) in July; form tailed off markedly on final two starts of 2025 but no surprise if he resumes in better form following a break.

Consistent first year with Ruth Carr, winning over 1m5f at Hamilton in July and reaching the frame on six other occasions; possible soft didn't suit when below par latest; had course form for previous yard; considered.

Form & Verdict
Won over 1m6f here last August off 3lb higher but below form since; showed a bit more when third of five over C&D (good) 19 days ago, however, and a further 2lb drop in the weights gives him a fighting chance.

9st 3lb

J: Connor Beasley

Went close off 8lb higher in this race (good) last year but he's generally struggled since (Flat and hurdles) and was a remote fourth of five here last time; that took his losing run to 12 and others are preferred.

Sole success on the Flat came in 2022 when trained by Aidan O'Brien; now with his third yard since and has shown little in nine starts for current stable; first-time blinkers go on, but hard to fancy.
