Ayr

Has taken well to blinkers, snapping losing sequence dating back to 2024 over C&D earlier this month and shaping well under a penalty here last week, the aggressive tactics a shade overdone but pulling clear of the remainder. Good shout back in a class 6.

Slow starter who resumed winning ways dropped into classified company for the first time in C&D event 3 weeks ago. 5 lb rise demands more back in a handicap.

Narrow winner at Leicester (1m) in May. Couple of good efforts at Carlisle and Musselburgh last month but below form at Kempton 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces left off and others preferred.

Dual course winner and plenty of creditable efforts this season. Probably better over a shorter trip, though.

Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton in February and largely in good nick since, emerging best of the rest behind thriving winner at Musselburgh (9f) when last seen 2 months ago. One to note back from a break.

Failed to progress from his debut last summer and has had a breathing operation since last seen 10 months ago. Drops back in trip for handicap debut and bred to be much better than his opening mark.

Scored twice over this trip last season and ran respectably at Redcar last month. Failed to build on that behind Mayor of Maghera at Musselburgh last time but back on last winning mark with headgear refitted now.

Confirmed good start for this yard when finally doubling career tally in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh (9f) last month. That race worked out well but he ran poorly behind Runninsonofagun here last week.

Possibly needed the run after 6 months off when eighth of 12 at Ripon 8 weeks ago and usual cheekpieces now go back on. Has a good record at Redcar and would make more appeal there.
