Form & Verdict
17-race maiden who was well beaten on AW last winter on his last two starts; however, he's well handicapped on last season's best efforts, many of which came here, and Eireann Cagney has won the last two runnings of this race; no surprise to see a big performance.

Belatedly off the mark when making all to score by 7l at Hamilton (1m5f, good to firm) in June, after a break; managed only third of five when odds-on to follow up there last month and needs to kick on again here.

Finally got off the mark when a wide-margin winner over C&D three weeks ago; able to dictate the pace there so more is probably needed from a 6lb higher mark.

Form & Verdict
Just one win from his 22 starts and beaten 6l when fourth in first-time visor (retained) at Ayr (1m5f, soft) last Friday; however, that trip-and-ground combination may have stretched his stamina and two starts ago he was short-headed by Uncle Liam here (1m4f, good); he's not discounted.

1-25; keeping reasonable form over further until a low-key effort at Musselburgh (1m5f, good) last week; dropping back to 1m2f is helpful (was third in this last year) but others still make more appeal.

Form & Verdict
8yo who won here (1m3f, good) last Wednesday on his second start back from a break; he'll be fine back up in trip and Kayleigh Williams made a dream start to her riding career when winning on a stablemate this month; strong claims under a 4lb penalty.

Handful of fair efforts in the spring but he's a longstanding maiden who's lost his way of late; again hung left at Hamilton last Thursday (ended up on the stands' rail) and running at another right-handed course would be a worry.
