Three wins from seven runs since going handicapping in June, all coming over this sort of trip. No fears on the ground but handicapper may just have got his measure based on last couple of runs.
A change of yard and a reduction in trip to 7f appeared to spark a revival on his first couple of runs for this yard at Ayr. But he's run poorly in three further outings at that track, though is well-handicapped now stepped up in distance.
Left previous form well behind when landing Class 6 Hamilton handicap over 1m1f (good to soft) last month, makes for an interesting contender upped in distance under the 6lb penalty.
Recent efforts have been more encouraging, including placed effort over this C&D last month off 2lb lower mark. Goes back up in trip now and should run well.
Eight-race maiden had been showing some decent signs for Michael Bell, flopped on final start for that yard when attempting 2m at Ripon in August. Back down in trip now and best efforts give him place claims.
Filly broke her maiden with C&D success last week, staying on well off a decent gallop to do so, carries the penalty for that win now and this looks to be tougher on paper.

Forecasts
Royal Cosmic (13/8), Donnachies Girl (3/1), Rosemay (9/2), Al Hawraa (6/1), Mister Showman (15/2), Theglasgowwarrior (10/1), So Celebre (10/1), Magistral (18/1)
So Celebre was well-backed at Kempton on the AW on Friday evening and was agonisingly nailed late on. Connections elect to turn him out quickly on turf and his chance is respected, all the more so if the money is down again. Rosemay has been running well lately, including a placed effort over C&D last month and should throw her hat in the ring but AL HAWRAA produced an improved effort to score at Hamilton last time out and, despite the penalty, she can find something extra over this longer trip to supplement that win.
