Ayr

Lightly-raced sort caught the eye on first 2 starts for new yard, finishing with running left in a tactical affair at Hamilton early last month. Put a blip at York behind him when an eye-catching third at Carlisle (1m) 11 days ago, again finishing with more to give. Step back up in trip will suit.

Beaten a short-head on reappearance at Pontefract in April and was right back to his best with testing conditions proving ideal when winning a 6-runner handicap (15/8) at Lingfield (1¼m, heavy) 29 days ago. Ground is contrasting this time, though.

Bounced back to best when scoring at Beverley (1¼m) in May, albeit suited by the way the race developed. Proved a let-down at York subsequently, his attitude coming into question, but returned to form when runner-up in a 5-runner event back at Beverley 12 days ago. Place claims.

Winner for both Andrew Balding and Marco Botti in his younger days and having slipped down the weights for his current yard, he produced his most encouraging effort for some time when sixth of 20 at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) 9 days ago, staying on well from a hopeless position.

On a losing run but turned in his best effort of the season dropped in grade when second of 7 in 1¼m handicap at Ripon last month. Not quite in the same form when third of 5 at Beverley 5 days later but still on a workable mark if able to bounce back.

Went off quite a big price but showed improved form sent handicapping when runner-up in a 4-runner race at Yarmouth (11/1, 1¾m, good to firm) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces go on here but there's plenty of stamina in his pedigree, so drop in trip isn't certain to suit.

Three-time winner in France but below that level so far in 3 starts for this current stable, not finding much for pressure when seventh of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (1¾m, good) 20 days ago. Probably only of interest if market speaks positively over this much shorter trip.

Dual winner last summer but ended 2025 on a low-key note and didn't come on for her reappearance run when fifth of 6 in handicap at Doncaster (1½m, good to firm) 21 days ago, weakening tamely despite a recent breathing operation.

Ended last season in great form, making it 4 wins from last 5 starts at this track in October. Those victories came with plenty of give underfoot however and he hasn't been close to that sort of form in 2 starts this season, looking rather unwilling over C&D last time.

All-weather winner in spring of 2024 for Andrew Balding but offered little returning from a 22-month absence at York 3 weeks ago and has to prove he retains ability with blinkers replacing visor now.
