Lightly-raced sort who looked as though he could be decent when landing a novice/handicap for former yard in 2015. Hardly seen since then and now starts out for a new yard after looking to go amiss last time; best watched.
Has put together a good record around here in the past (three course wins) and is now off a mark that he ought to be competitive off. Ran a respectable race last time out and should be able to make a mark here.
Very capable of putting up a good display in handicaps but does need to settle into her races and the rider has had a tendency to rush her into races at times. Trip looked a little on the short side last time and this easy 3m should suit.
C&D winner who showed the benefit of his comeback run when winning on good ground at Kelso last time appreciating the better ground. Nudged up 5lb for that win but hasn't got many miles on the clock and a major chance of scoring again here.
Not the easiest if rides and can run in snatches with all his best form coming at Perth often finding plenty for pressure. Form of late though has been modest and he will have had to have benefitted from a break to show anything here.
Not won for over two years now but ran far better than her finishing position suggests last time out (raced too close to a strong pace). Would be an interesting outsider here if she could back that run up.
Yet to win a race although he did show some fair form in bumpers but was handed a stiff initial mark over hurdles. Handicapper is starting to relent a little but more is still needed to figure in handicaps.
Found his feet when scoring over C&D in March on his second handicap try and looking suited by the trip with improvement to come. For all that he appeared to struggle off an 8lb higher mark in his only subsequent run; back from a break now.
A winning hurdler when he was with Nicky Henderson but looks to have totally lost his way for now with this yard. On his recent form he can only be watched in this.
Forecasts
Buckled (9/4), The Wise One (7/2), Waltz Darling (5/1), Ebony Rose (6/1), Trongate (10/1), Maraweh (10/1), Fly Vinnie (12/1), Minnie Milan (20/1), Clondaw Banker (25/1)
BUCKLED is progressive in his own way and this trip and ground appear to suit him ideally and being still lightly-raced he looks as though he can improve again. The Wise One is another who could well show some more improvement although he has to overcome a poor run last time the break hopefully pepping him up. Waltz Darling and Ebony Rose are two others that need throwing into the mix with the latter a danger if she settles and gets a sensible ride while Minnie Milan isn’t out of this with a more conservative ride and rates an interesting longshot.
