1/1

Had plenty in hand with this headgear re-fitted when coming good at the fifth attempt for this yard at Wolverhampton on Thursday after a significant market gamble. Yet to prove he's as good on turf, but this is a very weak race.

22/1

Well below par last 2 starts but the pick of this season's form gives her an each-way chance running in a classified event for the first time. Visor back on.

11/4

Yet to win from 14 starts but she went close here (6f) 2 weeks ago. Unable to take advantage of the run of the race when dropped back to this trip at Musselburgh on Friday.

Maiden. First run since leaving Brian Ellison when a back-to-form third here (6f) in June, but he failed to build on that back down in trip at Beverley 3 weeks ago and now tries 7f for the first time.

ICONIC TIMES still has to prove he's as effective on turf but he doesn't need to be here, dropped to a 0-50 classified event after winning in good style off 59 at Wolverhampton on Thursday. Rain Cap is a clear next best.
