Thistle Nil³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 65

40/1

Caused a major upset on his third start when just holding on to win an 8-runner maiden (200/1) over 6f at Ayr but hasn't replicated that form in 2 handicaps since, struggling badly with the pace dropped to this trip at Ayr last month.

Form: 79180

King Of The Jungle⁶²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 64| D

6/1

As good as ever at present, taking 5f handicaps at Beverley (good form) and Ayr (had bit in hand) in May/June. Up to a career-high mark but manner of most recent success suggests he can go well in hat-trick bid.

Form: 625-011

Harb¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: J Garritty| T: T Davidson| OR: 60| BF| D

7/2

Doubled his tally for the year at Carlisle in May. Mixed record since but would have finished closer with a clearer passage at Hamilton on his penultimate outing and shaped a bit better than the result (made effort away from other principals) when fifth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (5f) 13 days ago.

Form: 683045

Tanjen¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| CD

11/8

A dual 5f scorer in 2025 and after a low-key start to this season, proved as good as ever when capitalising on a lower turf mark in a 7-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 7/2) 10 days ago by 3½ lengths from Never Dark. 6 lb "well in" without a penalty and she makes appeal again.

Impressor^v1¹³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-9| J: S H James| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 60| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Third over 6f at Hamilton in June and might've needed the outing after an 8-week break when tenth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Visor on 1st time.

Form: 006360

Never Dark¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: Alex Jary⁽³⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 56| CD

12/1

On a long losing run but went with more promise than for a while from a reduced mark when 3½ lengths second of 7 to Tanjen in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 10 days ago.

Form: 87-6672

(10)

Supremissy¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 56| D

22/1

Much improved when making successful handicap debut at Musselburgh (5f) in June, settling better off the pace and reeling in the trailblazing runner-up late in the day. Struggled to land a blow from a poor draw at Ayr last time and remains reasonably unexposed in handicaps.

Form: 0U-9319

Falcon Queen¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: R M Smith| OR: 55

18/1

Bred to be useful and produced a more promising effort with the benefit of a good draw when fourth of 12 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 50/1) 13 days ago. Now needs to back that up.

Form: 489684

Doon The Glen^v¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50| C

9/1

Better than ever when notching a second 6f success of the season in July and produced the best effort of his 3 since when fifth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good, 15/2) 11 days ago. Will need to take another step back in the right direction to win this.

Form: 471875

Kyber Crystal^p,t⁴³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 49| CD

40/1

Hasn't been competitive in 5 starts since reappearance, not quickening for pressure when fifth of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (6f, firm, 40/1) 43 days ago.

Forecasts

Tanjen (11/8), Harb (7/2), Startling (11/2), King Of The Jungle (6/1), Impressor (17/2), Doon The Glen (9/1), Hi Lord (10/1), Never Dark (12/1), Falcon Queen (18/1), Supremissy (22/1), Jm Jhingree (28/1), Thistle Nil (40/1), Kyber Crystal (40/1)

TANJEN put an easy lead to good use at C&D last week and is technically 6 lb "well in" without a penalty, so makes obvious appeal as she bids to follow up. The hat-trick seeking King of The Jungle is highly respected after a 9-week break, with Startling also a player after several good efforts in defeat.
