9/2

Successful 3 times in 2022 and turned in his best effort of the season when going down only narrowly to a well-handicapped veteran at Lingfield (5f, firm) last week. Has to be taken seriously off same mark.

5/2

Has proven a model of consistency this season, no extra only late on when third in 8-runner handicap at Chester (5.5f, soft) last week. Seems sure to go well again.

6/1

C&D winner who has yet to fire this season but, on the plus side, his mark continues to ease.

13/2

Opened her account for the season under a no-nonsense ride here in June. Below par both starts since, so bounce back needed.

11/4

Hasn't got the best of strike rates but ran well in a first-time visor when second of 12 in 6f handicap at Ayr (good) 4 days ago. Sure to be thereabouts with a repeat.

One Last Hug⁴^{(ex 4)}

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: J Fanning| T: J S Goldie| OR: 57| D

8/1

Has been transformed this year and produced a career best to resume winning ways at Ayr (5f) earlier in the month. Just as good when third under a penalty back there 4 days ago and likely to give another good account.
