Jer Batt^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: William Pyle| T: T D Barron| OR: 82| CD

4/1

Losing run is mounting up, but after 3 months off he shaped promisingly when third of 5 in handicap over this C&D 7 days ago (½ length behind Montezuma in second). Lurks on a dangerous mark given another try in cheekpieces.

Form: 337-733

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79| D

4/1

3-time winner in 2025, including back-to-back 5f handicaps in August. Yet to score this season, but with visor quickly refitted she left behind a lesser effort when third at Thirsk 6 days ago. Could be in the mix racing off her last winning mark.

Montezuma^h⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 78| BF| CD

2/1

Confirmed promise of his return when getting off the mark in big-field handicap over C&D in April. Progress seemed to have stalled subsequently, but got back on the up when only narrowly denied in 5-runner contest here 7 days ago. Likely contender.

Big Fun⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 80| CD

20/1

Landed the odds in 4-runner C&D maiden last summer. Made the frame on handicap/seasonal debut at Thirsk in April, before seventh of 12 at the same course the following month. Eased 2 lb in the weights but still looks to have something to find.

Form: 2217-47

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 70| CD

9/4

Gained a second C&D victory in April and has been knocking on the door of late, proving better than ever in defeat when second of 20 at Goodwood (6f) 10 days ago. Strong claims back down in trip/grade.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: J Ryan| OR: 65

33/1

Remains a maiden and hasn't been in much form since making the frame at Newmarket (6f) in May, finding things tough back up into class 4 company when fifth of 7 at Newmarket (5f) 3 weeks ago.

Forecasts

Montezuma (2/1), Woohoo (9/4), Tiva (4/1), Jer Batt (4/1), Big Fun (20/1), Ecclefechan (33/1)

WOOHOO has been running consistently well with second-place finishes on her last 4 outings, going close when first home in her group at Goodwood, and she looks ready to resume winning ways this time around. Montezuma helps to give Jim Goldie a strong hand in the race, while Tiva could also be in the mix.
