Royal Cosmic¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 66

20/1

Latest win over hurdles at Musselburgh (15.5f) in January. Shaped as if needing first start for 7 months when last of 10 at Hamilton in September and no surprise to see her closer to form here.

Form: 40550-0

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 64| D

11/2

1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, heavy) 43 days ago by 2 lengths from Peerless Percy, having run of race. Possibilities once more.

Form: 211-371

Maulesden May¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Jessica Cooley⁽⁷⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 64| C

66/1

Course winner. 33/1, sixth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good) 11 days ago, never on terms. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 87-3906

Tor¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Jane Elliott| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 63| D

80/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2018. 20½ lengths last of 14 to Card High in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good, 66/1) 10 days ago.

Form: 4480-90

Auxiliary^p³²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Hart| T: L Bailey| OR: 63

28/1

Ninth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good, 16/1) 32 days ago. Had previously ran better than for a while when third at that venue (2m) in August but he's not easy to predict.

Form: 39-9839

(14)

Flashing Approach⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 64| BF

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 3/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) in August. Given a break since and not one to write off given he's a low-mileage 3-y-o in good hands.

Form: 54-847

Card High^t¹⁰^{(ex 4)}

Age: 10| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: W Storey| OR: 53

6/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at Hamilton (12.1f) 10 days ago, keeping on well and eased close home. Hwever, he doesn't appeal as an obvious follow-up candidate.

Form: 967321

Framley Garth¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: L Bailey| OR: 55

25/1

Unreliable sort. 20/1, good 4½ lengths fourth of 14 to Card High in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good) 10 days ago, having to pick way through. Now his task is to build on that.

Form: 376554

Queen Of Camelot^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: G Lee| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 60

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good fourth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (soft) 21 days ago.

Form: 45384

Lizzie Loch²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rowan Scott| T: A C Whillans| OR: 54| BF| CD

7/1

C&D winner. 4/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (17.1f, good) 21 days ago. Ease back down in trip rates a plus on that evidence and he should go well again.

Form: 232434

(2)

Hugoigo^p¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Phil Dennis| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50

7/1

16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable 6 lengths seventh of 14 to Card High in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good) 10 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 585437

Peerless Percy^b1³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 56| BF

7/1

Ninth of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f) 32 days ago, a very wide trip far from ideal but again carrying head awkwardly. Fitting of blinkers/return to slower ground both likely positives.

Form: 780-329

(6)

Bollin Neil^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 47

7/1

Seventh of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (12f, good, 25/1) 24 days ago. Remains with one standout effort to date and he needs to step up to on latest efforts to figure.

Form: 90B367

Allsfineandandy⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: T Eaves| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 45WS

150/1

200/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Undergone wind surgery subsequently but easy enough to look elsewhere in any case.

SMART LASS relished the return to heavy ground when resuming winning ways at Musselburgh in August and, with underfoot conditions in her favour once more, she's taken to confirm placings with Peerless Percy. The latter, now equipped with blinkers is still low-mileage though and can get involved, along with Royal Cosmic and Card High.
