9/1

14/1, not disgraced when sixth of 9 in handicap here (7.8f, good to firm) 10 days ago but it's now twenty two runs since last win in 2018. Visor back on yet others more persuasive.

Course winner but his last victory came back in 2018. 33/1, last of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 8 months ago so it's easy to look elsewhere.

Detective^b¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 50| CD

8/13

C&D winner in May before good second here off 4 lb higher mark 19 days ago, despite looking unsuited by drop in trip. On the upgrade, so he rates a big player returned to further now.

Form: 09-4312

Perfect Soldier¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: D Fentiman| T: W Storey| OR: 50| D

10/1

Dual winner at Musselburgh in April and posted another good effort when fifth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Ought to be competitive again.

Form: 9-51175

(8)

Wensley^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: S H James| T: Harvey Bastiman| OR: 45

33/1

Twenty eight runs since his sole win in 2017 and yet to hit top form this term, fifth of 13 to Detective over C&D 36 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 860-765

Dandy's Angel¹⁷

Weight: 9-8| Age: 4

T: J S Wainwright J: Zak Wheatley

Forecasts

Detective (8/13), Dandy's Angel (4/1), Elusive Heights (15/2), Zoravan (9/1), Perfect Soldier (10/1), Visitant (12/1), Four Kingdoms (14/1), Calidus Mirabilis (20/1), Ghayyar (25/1), Wensley (33/1)

DETECTIVE arrives firmly on the up and can add to last month's C&D victory now he returns to this trip after staying on well into second over an extended 7f here last time. Dandy's Angel also shows up in excellent nick and rates a big danger, with Perfect Soldier appealing as the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect.
