Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 62

7/2

Has returned a much-improved model this season, admittedly allowed an easy lead but looking better the further he went under hands and heels only when bolting up in 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh (2m). Drop to 13f against it at Hamilton so well worth another chance.

Form: 785-213

9/2

Fit from hurdling and ran his best race yet when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Hamilton last month. Sound third fitted with cheekpieces over 12.5f at Newcastle 17 days ago and he looks worth a go at this trip.

Form: 646-623

Fleur De Mer^p⁷³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: D Nolan| T: M Todhunter| OR: 60

12/1

On a long losing run but placed on her last 4 starts, third of 12 in handicap at Pontefract in April in first-time cheekpieces latest. That race has thrown up winners and she's not ruled out back up in trip.

Form: 393-323

Billy No Mates³²

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Dods| OR: 58| C

9/2

Twenty runs since last win in 2023 so clearly needs everything to drop right but a pair of in-frame efforts confirm he's returned in pretty good order.

Form: 4649-34

Aighear⁴⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 53| CD

15/2

Notched another 2 wins here in the autumn under this rider. Should remain competitive off this mark and reappearance will have blown the cobwebs away.

Form: 31123-3

Ebony Maw^p,t²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Ewan Whillans| OR: 53| CD

12/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2024, which was gained over C&D. Failed to come on for reappearance when fourth of 6 in handicap at Haydock (2m, soft) 29 days ago and cheekpieces back on.

Form: 9839-74

Angelardo¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR: 50

14/1

Off the mark over 2m at Newcastle in March. Rather in-and-out since on the all-weather and race wasn't run to suit back on turf in race won by Laravie latest.

Form: 184824

La Tosca²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: A Mullen| T: C Johnston| OR: 60

10/3

Shaped like a stayer in 4 runs at up to 12.5f so far and this 3-y-o has a bigger performance in her now her stamina is drawn out. One to take seriously.

Forecasts

Laravie (2/1), La Tosca (10/3), Gallus Norman (7/2), Ned Broy (9/2), Billy No Mates (9/2), Aighear (15/2), Ebony Maw (12/1), Fleur De Mer (12/1), Angelardo (14/1)

Having made his second handicap start a winning one at Musselburgh, GALLUS NORMAN was unsuited by the drop to 13f at Hamilton 2 weeks ago. Back up in distance, he can confirm his mark to be a very fair one. Laravie is thriving and is a huge threat if taking up this engagement, with sole 3-y-o La Tosca a potential improver.
