66/1

Fair winning hurdler/chaser who probably needed the run after 23 months off when well beaten at Bangor 24 days ago. This will reveal more.

Form: 53100/6

Age: 5| Weight: 11-13| J: Edward Austin| T: H Graham & G Rutherford| OR: 104| CD

3/1

Improved for the step up to staying distances in the spring, scoring at Perth and Kelso. Progressed again despite failing to land the hat-trick after 4 months off at former venue last time and remains unexposed as a stayer.

Jessiemac^t¹⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-10| J: Thomas Willmott| T: I A Duncan| OR: 101| CD

22/1

Thorough stayer who needed every yard to score at Catterick (25f) in January. Back to form when second at Ayr in May but followed that with a tame effort at Cartmel later in the month. Needs to bounce back on return.

Form: 1255-24

Wee Rupert^t³⁶

11/1

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Bruce Lynn| T: D W Whillans| OR: 100

5/1

Gained reward for a consistent spell when off the mark in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, good to soft) in April. Can make presence felt if ready to roll on return.

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁷⁾| T: D Thompson| OR: 95

6/1

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: Conor Rabbitt⁽⁷⁾| T: A Crook| OR: 89

10/1

Built on a couple of sound placed efforts to belatedly get off the mark (7/2) at Wetherby (24.1f, soft) in March, kept up to work. Reappears from a 6 lb higher mark but can't be ruled out.

Form: 465331-

Silver Coin¹²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 10-8| J: Alan Doyle| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 85

25/1

Has hinted at ability in a bumper and two starts over hurdles (both at 2½m) but sizeable step forward is needed now upped in trip for this handicap debut.

Form: 7-44

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: Lewis Dobb⁽⁸⁾| T: L Morgan| OR: 82

28/1

Forecasts

Brandy Mcqueen (3/1), Shoeshine Boy (5/1), Coup De Gold (6/1), Cosmic Outlaw (15/2), Dr Shirocco (17/2), Tomorrow's Angel (9/1), Veshenskaya (10/1), Wee Rupert (11/1), Scottish Accent (16/1), Jessiemac (22/1), Silver Coin (25/1), Taras Day (28/1), Chanceanotherfive (66/1)

BRANDY MCQUEEN is going the right way at staying trips, so he's an appealing candidate having returned with a good fourth in a strong-looking race for the level at Perth last month. Dr Shirocco will benefit from going back up in trip and is on a good mark on the pick of his form despite being 3 lb out of the weights. Shoeshine Boy proved consistent last season and is another to consider.
