On a handy mark and may be back in better form with Thirsk reappearance under his belt; however, he's on two-year losing spell and record suggests he'll be more interesting when returned to Ayr.

Added to a good Ayr record when seeing off 12 rivals over 1m2f (good) 26 days ago; a 6lb rise demands more of him (yet to win above a mark of 70) but he'll handle today's ground and has a more solid recent profile than most.

Gained his first success on turf when coming from off the pace to beat five rivals at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm) off 7lb lower in July; went close at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last month and a stumble at the start may have lit him up when midfield at Doncaster 12 days ago; career-high mark but he's not ruled out.

0-8 but she ran well for a long way when third of six in a Class 5 handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; that trip seemed to stretch her and she could make a bold bid on this drop back to 1m2f; first-time blinkers.

Dual course winner (1m/1m2f) but his last success was 13 months ago and he's finished down the field in last five runs; on reduced mark but he needs to raise his game and it would be a negative if the ground dries out.
