Twoforthegutter^b¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Jason Hart| T: C N Kellett| OR: 52| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 9/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, soft) 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others make more appeal for win purposes.

Crystal Guard^b²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 51| D

9/1

Latest win at Musselburgh in July. Good third of 10 in handicap at this course (13.1f, good to firm, 11/1) 26 days ago. Solid each-way chance.

Form: 562413

Lady Phoebe^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: S H James| T: A Nicol| OR: 50

3/1

Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap (7/2) at Musselburgh (13f, good) 11 days ago, driven out. 5 lb rise no great hardship and she's one for the shortlist.

Form: 6-48541

Yellow Lemons^t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 49

66/1

33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Jim Goldie when sixth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and she has work to do.

Form: 840-676

Shabu Shabu^p⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J Ferguson| OR: 52

7/4

Won 4-runner handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good, 11/10) 9 days ago, having run of race. It's unlikely that things will pan out quite so favourably here, but he merits respect under a penalty all the same.

Aighear⁵⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 46| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 11 in handicap (17/2) at Carlisle (14.2f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Others look stronger on this occasion.

Form: 44/9200

Millbuie^v²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 45

25/1

40/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Back up in trip and it's probably best to look elsewhere in search of the likely winner.

Form: 9-70456

That Lucas Fella³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 54

9/1

Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to soft, 6/1) 37 days ago. Was knocking on the door prior to that, but his stamina for this trip is by no means copper-bottomed.

Form: 7-48224

Cushty^v1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 51

10/1

33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) 15 days ago. Perhaps the more severe headgear here will help (sports first-time visor) and she's not discounted off this reduced mark.

Form: 673655

Max The Tiger^p1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 45

50/1

Seventh of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good, 22/1) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and, unless the new headgear has a positive effect, he will probably come up short once more.

Form: 8-42687

(4)

Hickton²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Zak Wheatley⁽³⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 45

20/1

Creditable third of 9 in handicap (50/1) at Catterick (12.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Now 0-10 and he again looks vulnerable.

Form: 905-603

Forecasts

Shabu Shabu (7/4), Lady Phoebe (3/1), Twoforthegutter (13/2), Sugarpiehoneybunch (8/1), Crystal Guard (9/1), That Lucas Fella (9/1), Cushty (10/1), Aighear (14/1), Hickton (20/1), Millbuie (25/1), Max The Tiger (50/1), Yellow Lemons (66/1)

It could be worth chancing CUSHTY, who continues to edge down the weights and it could be that the first-time visor will make the difference here. Lady Phoebe was a pretty decisive winner at Musselburgh recently and she is feared most ahead of Crystal Guard and the penalised Shabu Shabu. Crystal Guard's stablemate That Lucas Fella has form claims, but he hasn't exactly been shaping as though crying out for this trip.
