Braes Of Doune^p¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 55

9/2

Lightly raced in recent times. Down to the sort of mark/grade from which he cannot be ignored and shaped better than he was able to show at Musselburgh on Friday, poorly placed and not knocked about. One to consider if turning out again quickly.

Form: 425-664

Pisanello^v³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: C J Whiteley⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 55| C| D

11/10

Took advantage of reduced mark when winning at Redcar last 2 starts, including apprentice event under this rider on Wednesday. Able to race off 1 lb lower so obvious claims.

Form: 575611

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 52| C| D

14/1

Five wins in a very productive 2025 but signs of decline this season.

Defence Missile^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Miss L A Perratt| OR: 51

10/1

Overcame a pace bias on only his second start on all-weather at Newcastle last week. Needs to reproduce that back on turf.

Form: 86-8951

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 45

Saxon Grace²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Shane Gray| T: D Bourke| OR: 50

11/1

Still a maiden and mixed record this year, running poorly at Ayr latest. Takes a significant step up in trip.

Forecasts

Pisanello (11/10), Braes Of Doune (9/2), Evelyn's Phoenix (9/2), Defence Missile (10/1), Saxon Grace (11/1), Hostelry (14/1), Can I Kiss You (25/1), Jenson Benson (33/1), Ring Of Gold (40/1)

PISANELLO escapes a penalty for his recent win at Redcar so can complete a quickfire hat-trick if this doesn't come too soon. Braes of Doune is next best ahead of Defence Missile.
