Kaizer⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: A C Whillans| OR: 54

5/4

Hadn't been in the finest form but took a step in the right direction when fourth of 11 at Hamilton (1m4f) a week ago. Every chance he can progress again.

Form: 779354

Gworn⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: R M Smith| OR: 53

11/1

Barren streak was extended to 26 when tenth in Hamilton handicap (1m4f) a week ago. Plenty to find with Kaizer on that effort.

Life Knowledge⁷⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-3| J: D Tudhope| T: L Bailey| OR: 51| D

8/1

Been mixing it over flat and hurdles, with latest effort coming in the latter code when sixth in 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter during the summer. Flat record is of concern though.

Form: 18-4736

Doon Star⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mathers| T: J S Goldie| OR: 46

7/1

Ungenuine and inconsistent. Weakened tamely to finish eighth in 1m4f Hamilton handicap on latest start so has plenty to find on ratings.

Strategic^h²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: E J Alston| OR: 45| CD

10/1

C&D winner back in July but bombed out in three starts since, including distant eighth at Catterick (1m4f) just under a month ago. Others preferred.

Form: 971008

Satis House^t³²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: S Corbett| OR: 45

22/1

Thrice-raced maiden on the flat and didn't fare better over hurdles in 2m handicap hurdle at Carlisle when last seen. Makes handicap debut but this looks a tough ask.

So Hi Cardi^h³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Paula Muir⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 52

11/1

Slightly inconsistent sort and put up regressive performance when seventh of 8 at Southwell (2m) on latest start. Back down in trip may help.

Form: 584767

(7)

Bannockburn^b1³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 50

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't seen to his best when sixth over 1m1f at this track last month. Likely to find better opportunities in the future.

Forecasts

Kaizer (5/4), Bannockburn (4/1), Our Kylie (4/1), Doon Star (7/1), Life Knowledge (8/1), Strategic (10/1), Gworn (11/1), So Hi Cardi (11/1), Satis House (22/1)

A weak-looking division of the handicap to end the card, KAIZER represents the best of some minor encouraging form. He stayed on well at Hamilton the last day and a sharper test may in fact help him rather than hinder. Bannockburn may have disappointed at this track last time but shaped as if a step up was on the cards and will be staying on as some falter, while So Hi Cardi does the opposite after failing to stay last time out and could go well with the weight allowance.
