Dinons^p¹⁷⁷

Age: 13| Weight: 11-13| J: Joshua Thompson⁽⁵⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 112| CD

9/1

Veteran who produced his best effort for a while when finding only one too good at Newcastle in November but has been off since unseating through no fault of his own there last December. He's won over this C&D off an absence previously, though.

Abbey Scope³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 106

3/1

Fairly useful bumper winner who made it 2-2 at Kelso when opening his hurdle account there last time. Makes appeal with the third having won since, and he shapes as though this longer trip could well be within range.

Form: 3572P-1

Ebselysees²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Nathan Moscrop| T: S Corbett| OR: 102

10/3

Has found a new lease of life since joining her current yard, landing a Perth double in decisive fashion last time, but now finds herself against stiffer opposition following a 7 lb rise.

Form: P2571-1

Jeteye^p,t¹⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-1| J: Jonathan England| T: S England| OR: 100| CD

7/2

Notched a second C&D win (both off the same mark) in game fashion on his latest start, but he's probably vulnerable off 4 lb higher in a better race.

Form: 235/36-1

Stylish Recruit^p,t¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: P W Wadge| T: A M Thomson| OR: 91| C

4/1

Seems to save his best for this course, winning here in April before shaping better than the result over C&D (suffered tack issue). Found the drop back in trip on a sharp track against him at Kelso last time and can resume winning ways back over a more suitable test.

Form: PP01-65

Robert d'Ores^p,t³⁵

13/2

Course regular who never looked like landing a fourth C&D success here on his latest start and this is a stronger race than he need contest.

Form: 21466-7

Forecasts

Abbey Scope (3/1), Ebselysees (10/3), Jeteye (7/2), Stylish Recruit (4/1), Sunset Hill (6/1), Robert d'Ores (13/2), Dinons (9/1)

Plenty of course regulars on show and STYLISH RECRUIT is fancied to record a third success at the track. Sunset Hill is in the form of her life and could go close if seeing out the longer trip, while lightly-raced Abbey Scope may still have more to offer.
