73
|
10/1 |
Jackhammer
C&D winner who is 1lb lower than when recording his most recent success last year; inconsistent since then; went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) on his penultimate start but was below par back there (1m, good) in a better race than this latest; player if able to go close to his season's best.

11/1 |
Gainsbourg
Multiple winner at up to 8.5f, including here, on good or slower; 1lb higher than when winning a 0-78 at Hamilton in July; put two lacklustre efforts behind him second back there in a 0-68 latest; each-way player.

7/2 |
Shine On Brendan
C&D winner; 4lb worse off with Gainsbourg for readily beating him by over 2l at Hamilton (8.5f, soft) latest; acts on a sound surface; it has paid to follow him when hitting form in the past; interesting.

22/1 |
Strongbowe
Dual 1m winner; acts on a sound surface and good to soft; has slid gradually in the handicap and looks well treated on 2023 form; tongue-tie now accompanies cheekpieces; support for him would pique interest.

- Izzari
- Shay Farmer / I Jardine

16/1 |
Izzari
Former Joseph O'Brien inmate who showed some ability in three qualifying starts but was a shade disappointing when coming in for some support but never involved on handicap debut at Hamilton (1m1f, good to soft) last month; drops 1lb and back again in trip; more needed.

- Mr Jetman
- S H James / Grant Tuer

|
9/2 |
Mr Jetman
7f winner (good) who has been a model of consistency in defeat this season over 1m1f-1m2f; mark unchanged and should again be thereabouts.
|

- Straya
- P J Mcdonald / K Scott
|

72
|
18/1 |
Straya
Plummeting in the handicap this season; could have finished a shade closer when beaten 2l over C&D (good; rider dropped hands close home) latest; drops slightly in grade again but still needs to pull out more.

- Colorada Dancer
- O J Orr / R A Fahey

|
8/1 |
Colorada Dancer
Won a soft-ground maiden (1m) this time last year but has so far been unable to live up to that in handicaps; drops another 2lb but we haven't seen enough recently to suggest that will tip the scales in his favour.

- Cisco Disco
- C Lee / R M Smith

|
28/1 |
Cisco Disco
Triple 7f and also 1m winner who acts on good or slower; had been on the slide for Richard Fahey before changing hands prior to his latest C&D defeat; drops another 3lb but big revival needed.

- Rwenearlytheredad
- D Tudhope / D Carroll

7/2 |
Rwenearlytheredad
Scored over 5f, 6f and 7f last season; put up his best 2024 effort at Musselburgh (7f, good; first-time visor) latest, when prominent and free-going; headgear now removed for this step up in trip and he'll need to settle better if he is to prevail.

18/1 |
Zumaaty
Won this race on heavy in 2022, when 4lb higher (acts on a sound surface); put some lesser efforts behind him when scoring gamely at Hamilton (8.5f, good to soft) on his penultimate start; below par at Musselburgh (1m, good) latest; more needed.
