1/1

Comment: Without a win since landing her second C&D success in June 2023 but she's been running well at Ayr over 1m2f, finishing in the first three in four of her last five starts; steps back up in distance with obvious claims.

Comment: Gained his reward for two narrow defeats when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) last month and ran another good race when third of 12 at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) 16 days ago; cheekpieces left off and now steps up to this trip for the first time.

Comment: 0-9 but he's been runner-up here on two occasions this summer, including over C&D; dropped away having made the running at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) 17 days ago but he may appreciate the return to this trip.

16/1

Comment: Now 1lb lower than his win here over 1m6f (good) last August but he's been well beaten in three starts this summer, on this track and at Ayr; bit to prove.

Comment: 34-race maiden (bumper/hurdles/Flat) but she has shaped with some encouragement at Redcar (2m, good to soft) and Ayr (1m5f, good to firm) on her last two starts; cheekpieces now go on.
