Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: T P O'Shea| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60| C

9/4

3 wins from 7 runs this year. 2/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (11.1f, good) 27 days ago by neck from reopposing Ralphy Boy Two, well positioned and always doing enough once hitting the front. Likely to continue in form.

Ralphy Boy Two^h¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 54| CD

15/8

Didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good to soft) 10 days ago, leading 1f out and always holding on. Claims under a penalty provided he's in the same mood.

Form: 22-7621

Go Bob Go⁵⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mathers| T: R M Smith| OR: 54

18/1

9/2, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, good) 57 days ago, running on (struck into). Not seen on the level for nearly a year and others make more appeal.

Form: 59026/0-

Crystal Guard^v⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: I Jardine| OR: 54

17/2

8/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at this course (11.1f, good to firm) 43 days ago. Hasn’t yet rediscovered last year’s form but expected to be bang there with Tom Marquand in the plate for the first time.

Form: 948-764

Lochnaver^h²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50| C

4/1

Course winner under this rider here in July. Sixth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 3 weeks ago. Has to be taken seriously back in Class 6 company.

Form: 076166

Aighear²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Amie Waugh⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 46

15/2

Back on track when third of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Ayr (13.1f, good) 22 days ago, edged out close home. Beaten a far way on both outings prior to that so needs to prove it was no flash in the pan.

Form: 885553

Forecasts

Ralphy Boy Two (15/8), Clan Jock (9/4), Lochnaver (4/1), Aighear (15/2), Crystal Guard (17/2), Go Bob Go (18/1)

Jim Goldie saddles half of the six runners and his CLAN JOCK is selected to come out on top and complete a course hat-trick. Stablemate Lochnaver needs to bounce back from a couple of lesser efforts but she may emerge as the main danger back in Class 6 company, with recent C&D winner Ralphy Boy Two also fancied to go well.
