2/1

C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good, 16/1) 13 days ago. Back up in trip and she will be a danger to all if able to bounce back.

Falcon Nine^b⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 55

4/6

Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 9 days ago, no match for winner. Reproduction of that effort would put him in the picture.

SHAHNAZ was below par last time, but she had shaped fairly well prior to that and is now 3 lb lower compared to when registering the most recent of her two previous wins here last summer. Falcon Nine's 0-25 record is off-putting, but his latest effort was pretty solid and he should give another good account, while cases can also be made for Irv and Spring Festival. Gemini Man continued his good run of form when second at Hamilton on Saturday and will have a big chance if taking his chance.
