Course specialist who took this race in 2022 and 2023; 3lb lower than for July's C&D win but she has gone off the boil more recently and there is other pace to contend with today.

Fantastic servant who has added another three C&D wins to her haul this year; unplaced here on her last three starts but drops back into a Class 6 today and a 13th course success isn't out of the question.

Sole win (from 19 attempts) came here (7f, good to firm) in May and he's finished runner-up on three of his last five starts, most recently at Hamilton (5f, soft) eight days ago; he could again be involved.

Off the mark over 7f at Ayr (good to firm; probably handles soft) in May and mostly in good form since; not obviously ahead of his mark but Paul Mulrennan is back in the saddle and the drop to 5f is worth investigating.

Made all when winning at Nottingham (6f, good) in June but that was a five-runner race and he's taken three backward steps since; now back on last winning mark but he's needs to raise his game and there are other front-runners in the line-up.
