Form & Verdict
Came good for Jim Goldie at third attempt, in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, and bettered that form when close third in competitive race at York (also 1m1f, good) soon afterwards; not quite at same level over the extended 1m2f at York last time but still a major player here.

Already a dual winner for current yard, latterly over 1m2f here (good to firm; has also won on heavy) in July; respectable efforts since but hasn't been helping his cause with slow starts (also soon off bridle and detached latest); the much longer trip will allow him more time to catch up if doing something similar this afternoon but his ability to see it out has to be taken on trust.

Form & Verdict
0-14 overall but has performed respectably for new stable this year, most recently when fourth at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) last month; continues to edge down the weights and ought to be suited by the reduced emphasis on stamina here; not out of this.

Ready winner on debut at Ayr last August (7f) and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts to be runner-up in first handicap this June (8.3f, Hamilton); second crack at 1m2f when beaten 6l into third at the scene of her win latest; that trip may want revisiting at some stage but she makes some appeal over 1m here.

Yet to add to his two C&D wins in spring 2024 but got back in the groove with two placed runs last month, the latter in Class 4 C&D contest; ought to pose a potent threat at this lower level.

Last three wins have been over 1m2f at Ayr, including in August (on good) when scoring for the first time in over two years; going down by just a neck at Haydock (soft) showed that he remains one for serious calculations.

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.

Dual C&D winner in 2024; run down late in refitted cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m2f) in June, and finished third (one place behind Mr Lincoln) over C&D next time; fast ground a plausible excuse for a lesser effort latest; runner-up in this last year.

Form & Verdict
Safely held over 7f recently and now 0-7 but made the frame on consecutive 8.3f starts at Nottingham in April, and the dam's side of her pedigree suggests she's well worth a crack at this new trip.

Regressive maiden (7f-1m2f) who's had plenty of chances off a sliding mark this summer; perhaps first-time headgear will prove the answer for a yard bang among the winners but others have more pressing claims.
