Elizabeth Bay⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jason Hart| T: K Scott| OR: 55

16/1

Placed twice over 7f at Chelmsford for Jane Chapple-Hyam but has made a low-key start for current yard. The return to 1m may help after racing too freely over 1¼m here last time but others are still more persuasive.

Form: 438-909

Thats My Boy Luke^b²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 54| D

4/1

Won twice at Ripon over 1m last year but yet to reproduce that form this season. The tongue tie which joined his regular blinkers last time is quickly discarded.

Form: 470456

Hostelry^v¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 54| D

7/2

Five wins in a very productive 2025 and back on form in a first-time visor when beating Due Respect by 2 lengths in 1m Ayr classified race 2 weeks ago. Was helped by being held up in a strongly-run race but she remains potentially well treated on last year's form.

Form: 555451

Jewel Maker¹³

Age: 11| Weight: 9-6| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 52| D

18/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2025. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (1m, good to firm, 12/1) 13 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

Form: 748776

Due Respect^v¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jake Dickson⁽⁵⁾| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 50

9/1

Ran one of this season's best races when second of 10 in 1m Ayr classified event a fortnight ago, particularly as she went hard in front. Good shout if showing up in similar form.

Form: 048952

Approaching Dawn¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Lauren Young⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 50| CD

9/2

Regular slow starter who got off the mark in a C&D handicap before adding to his tally at Ayr (1m, good to firm) in July. Respectable fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (9f, good to firm, 11/1) 17 days ago.

Joshuas Dream^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 48

18/1

Beaten only a head by a now-useful sort in Hamilton maiden in 2024 but hasn't offered any obvious promise in handicap company in a light career since.

Form: 3/08-090

Misemerald^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: P A Kirby| OR: 47

3/1

Arrives in good form, having reached the frame on her last 5 outings, but the fact her losing run is now up to 29 suggests it may be better to look elsewhere for win purposes again.

Form: 623423

Caledonian Dream^p⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: John Dawson| OR: 46

66/1

Signed off for Alan Brown with a very good second at Beverley last June but well held on return for new yard 11 months later and absent for a further 12 weeks since (has been gelded).

Form: 07/672-0

Abu Royal^v⁵⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Morgan| OR: 46| D

16/1

Has drawn a blank since his course maiden win for Charlie Johnston in 2023. Ran one of his better recent races when third at Newcastle (1m) in June but 2 lesser efforts have followed.

Form: 580367

Bantz¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: A D Brown| OR: 45

22/1

It's now thirteen runs since his last win in 2025 and no real signs of a revival for new yard this year.

Form: 0-07970

Sievier³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: John Dawson| OR: 45

125/1

Looked a limited maiden for Jack Channon and well held on Newcastle's all-weather for new yard last month after over a year on the sidelines.

Form: 6556/9-9

Serengeti Sunrise¹⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhys Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: R K Watson| OR: 45

40/1

Only just denied at Gowran a year ago but little encouragement since. Could only consider if backed.

Form: 90-4688

Misemerald (3/1), Hostelry (7/2), Thats My Boy Luke (4/1), Approaching Dawn (9/2), Due Respect (9/1), Abu Royal (16/1), Elizabeth Bay (16/1), Jewel Maker (18/1), Joshuas Dream (18/1), Bantz (22/1), Serengeti Sunrise (40/1), Caledonian Dream (66/1), Sievier (125/1)

DUE RESPECT was second to Hostelry in an Ayr classified event a fortnight ago but shaped better than the result having helped force an overly strong gallop and may be able to turn the tables on 4 lb better terms. Misemerald finds winning difficult but has been thereabouts in recent starts and is likely to be on the premises again.
