Bulls Aye^v⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn| T: I Jardine| OR: 57

3/1

Quirky sort who posted best effort for some time when close second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 9 days ago, slowly away. Races off same mark here and must enter calculations.

Form: 382372

Dark Company¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Archie Young⁽⁷⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 54

6/1

Untrustworthy individual. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm, 22/1) 14 days ago, very slowly away. Others preferred.

Form: 34-6458

Dandy's Angel¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Brandon Wilkie⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 52

10/3

Two wins from 43 Flat runs. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good, 15/2) 17 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 35-2646

Haseef^t¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Aiden Brookes| T: A Nicol| OR: 51

9/1

11/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, good) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back down in trip. Tongue strap back on. Something to find on form.

Form: 372758

Willing To Please¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Madi Patzelt⁽⁵⁾| T: P A Kirby| OR: 50| C

2/1

Course winner who has posted solid efforts the last twice, latest when third of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago, closing all way to line. Return to longer trip should suit and holds strong claims.

Form: 390533

Jaminoz¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Amie Waugh| T: J S Goldie| OR: 49

14/1

33/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Forecasts

Willing To Please (2/1), Bulls Aye (3/1), Dandy's Angel (10/3), Dark Company (6/1), Haseef (9/1), Mr Coco Bean (10/1), Jaminoz (14/1)

This can go to WILLING TO PLEASE, who has acquitted herself well in recent starts and figures off a handy mark. Bulls Aye and Dandy's Angel rate the principal dangers.
