Iconic Code^p1⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 63| CD

10/3

Former C&D winner, been running some pleasing races this season without getting his head in front. Blinkers are tried here and should handle forecast ground.

Form: 724253

Majeste⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: D Allan| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 63

12/1

Both 2019 successes came on testing ground at Hamilton and Carlisle, has dropped to a workable mark after some less promising recent efforts and could bounce back with these conditions.

Form: 335278

Three Castles¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 63| CD

4/1

Scored over C&D in August on heavy ground, ensuring he's likely to give his best in these conditions from 3lb higher mark. Worth some though.

Can Can Sixty Two⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: R M Smith| OR: 58| D

28/1

Recent form is not suggesting a win in imminent. Readily fended off eight days ago at Hamilton. Has plenty to find.

House Call⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: G Elliott| OR: 51

8/1

Filly opened her account on second start for this trainer at Hamilton last week over extended mile. She's got a 5lb to contend with this evening but should be able to go well again.

Rosin Box⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: T Davidson| OR: 51

14/1

Yet to win beyond a mile and form has nosedived somewhat since showing early promise after joining current stable. Off a short break, needs to bounce back to best.

George Ridsdale¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 54

6/1

Five-race maiden, showed up well enough on handicap bow over a mile here last time and looks sort to offer a bit more now getting stamina stretched out. Interesting contender.

Form: 99-486

Frightened Rabbit⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-10| J: T Eaves| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 48

15/2

Both wins this summer have come over hurdles, chased home odds-on favourite on the Flat at Hamilton (1m4f) last time out however and enters calculations.

Form: 80/7202

The Brora Pobbles⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 46

25/1

Remains low-mileage but will surely have to improve now tackling this new trip in order to get competitive. Work to be done on form.

Pammi^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: P Mathers| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45

11/1

Has now gone 17 starts without a win and this trip just about as sharp as he would want it. Others have more pressing claims at this juncture.

Forecasts

Iconic Code (10/3), Three Castles (4/1), So Macho (11/2), George Ridsdale (6/1), Frightened Rabbit (15/2), House Call (8/1), Zealous (10/1), Pammi (11/1), Majeste (12/1), Rosin Box (14/1), Guvenor's Choice (16/1), Muraadef (20/1), The Brora Pobbles (25/1), Can Can Sixty Two (28/1)

Gordon Elliott didn't take long to knock a win from HOUSE CALL and last week's Hamilton scorer can bag more Scottish success having gone up 5lb, with this extra test of stamina likely to be a positive and Sean Davis in the plate again. The maiden George Ridsdale is a possible improver going up in distance while Frightened Rabbit could do little more than chase home an odds-on jolly returned to the Flat last time out and joins Three Castles and Iconic Code on the shortlist.
