Runninsonofagun¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Greg Fairley| T: T Davidson| OR: 64

8/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024 but was in good form on Newcastle's tapeta when last seen in the autumn. Thereabouts if resuming in similar form.

Land Of The Giants^h¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 63

4/1

Remains a maiden after 17 starts but he was close second of 18 in handicap at Cork (1m, good to soft) 11 days ago. Good chance of a first win if showing up here in the same form.

Dingwall^h⁴⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: I Jardine| OR: 63| BF| C| D

6/1

Course winner. Creditable second in all-weather handicaps at Wolverhampton and Newcastle on his last 3 outings. Has to enter calculations back on turf.

Form: 23-6222

Lovette¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 63

20/1

Winner of weak maiden at Ripon (1m, good to firm) last summer. Placed in only 1 of her 5 subsequent handicap outings. First start for 6 months. Dingwall is the more obvious of the stable's pair.

Tap Dancer²⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 62

11/1

Turf winner for Marcus Tregoning in 2024. Unable to make a significant impact for that yard last year but it could be a different story having joined Jim Goldie ahead of her reappearance. It'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of her.

Royal Blaze^t¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 60| C

6/1

Course winner. 4/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.5f) when last seen in January. Off 116 days. Down in trip.

Form: 19023-4

Glasses Up⁶

Age: 11| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee| T: R M Smith| OR: 58| C

5/1

This veteran recorded a course hat-trick last spring and should be sharper for a recent comeback outing at Musselburgh. Not discounted.

Form: 45080-5

Uncle Liam²⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 51

9/1

0-9 but he ended 2025 with 3 good runner-up efforts around 1m (including here). Has a race like this in him but peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 6 months off.

Form: 003222-

Zebra Star²⁰⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: R M Smith| OR: 49| C

11/1

Course winner last July. Below par when last seen in the autumn but resumes off the mark she defied last summer.

Form: 843050-

Shifter¹¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 8-8| J: Paula Muir⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 49| C

9/1

Course winner but offered little in 4 all-weather outings this winter. It remains to be seen whether a return to turf sparks a revival.

Form: 0/509-98

(4)

Millbuie^b⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: William Pyle| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 46

18/1

Long-standing maiden who hasn't shown enough on all-weather this year to think a first win is likely now returning to turf.

Form: 44-6448

Forecasts

Land Of The Giants (4/1), Glasses Up (5/1), Dingwall (6/1), Royal Blaze (6/1), Runninsonofagun (8/1), Shifter (9/1), Uncle Liam (9/1), Tap Dancer (11/1), Zebra Star (11/1), Golden Valour (16/1), Millbuie (18/1), Lovette (20/1)

Irish raider LAND OF THE GIANTS ran a cracker when narrowly denied at Cork recently and can strike for Ado McGuinness. Dingwall has been knocking on the door on all-weather in recent starts and is second choice. Uncle Liam and Runninsonofagun were in good form when last seen in the autumn.
