2/1 |
South Shore
Made it 2-2 for new trainer Robert Cowell when comfortably seeing off eight rivals at Wolverhampton (5f) last week; effectively 7lb higher here but it doesn't look enough to stop him in his current mood.

Our Absent Friends
Respectable third over C&D (good to firm) last month but two lesser Ayr runs have followed, including on Monday.

Invincible Crown
Gained a belated first turf success (18th attempt) when getting up on the line at Musselburgh (5f, good) 15 days ago; his record doesn't make him an obvious one to follow up but he should remain competitive off 4lb higher.

Albegone
Latest C&D second on good to firm shows he's in reasonable form; ought to be in the mix again at a course which suits (four wins) but all nine career successes have come on good or softer.

- C Horgan / E Bethell

8/1 |
Edmond Halley
No impact in sprint handicaps in Ireland for Kieran Cotter but did show ability in maidens last autumn and needs checking out in the betting on first start for in-form Ed Bethell; all turf starts in Ireland came on going softer than good.

5/1 |
Lucius Aurelius
Hasn't finished out of the first three in five starts here, including a win over this trip on good in April; well beaten at Pontefract in first-time blinkers latest but his course record affords him respect with regular cheekpieces also back in place.

Irish Dancer
Gained his fifth success when seeing off ten rivals over C&D (good) in May; only narrowly denied another at Thirsk (5f, good) last month but below par when 3l third of five at Nottingham latest.

Zuffolo
Back on track with second at Redcar (5f) in April but has finished down the field twice since; bounce back needed.

Gwen Tennyson
Third in C&D novice (good to firm) in May but that form has taken several knocks and she's failed to get competitive in two handicaps since.
