Simple Star³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 73| CD

3/1

C&D winner. 4/1, won 8-runner handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to firm) 36 days ago, comfortably. Failed to fire on latest start in this sphere in June but now 2 lb lower and will be a danger to all if able to translate recent hurdles form.

Form: 12-2500

Spanish Hustle²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| CD

4/1

C&D winner. 4/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. 4 lb rise fair enough and it would be no surprise to see him involved in the finish.

Form: 445521

10/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 11/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 18 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces back on. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 8-36565

Forecasts

Lincoln Rockstar (5/2), Freddy Robinson (11/4), Simple Star (3/1), Spanish Hustle (4/1), Glasses Up (10/1)

This looks trappy, with all five holding claims. LINCOLN ROCKSTAR has done really for her new yard this year and, having lost little caste in defeat when second to another in-form 4-y-o at Chester recently, she gets the nod. Freddy Robinson backed up his Beverley success when failing by a whisker last time and he is feared most, although recent hurdles winner Simple Star and Spanish Hustle, who got back on the scoresheet at Hamilton three weeks ago, are also live candidates.
