Stepped up on first 2 runs of the season when 5¼ lengths fourth of 5 in handicap at Beverley (1¼m, good to firm) 65 days ago. The first-time cheekpieces worn on that occasion are retained. Down to a mark in the 60s for the first time.
|
Course winner. Latest win at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) in June. Good second at Ripon (1m, good) in July but 2 lesser runs have followed.
|
Second all-the-way Hamilton win of a productive first season with Jim Goldie when seeing off 8 rivals at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Should remain very competitive off 4 lb higher.
|
Fair maiden at up to 10.7f on the Flat in Ireland for Paul Traynor. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations on first run for Nicky Richards.
|
Doubled up here and at Hamilton in September 2024. Winless since but she's largely been running well, reaching the frame again when 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Sanafi Zabeel at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago. Considered from career-low mark.
|
Fair maiden in Ireland for John Joseph Murphy. No show in 3 comeback outings for Tristan Davidson last month but has dropped 8 lb in the handicap and worth a second look in the betting having had a breathing operation.
|
Won a amateur rider event over 1m here at a similar time last season. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) on Monday. His course win last year also came only 3 days after his previous outing.
|
Has a poor strike rate and beaten over 10 lengths when fourth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (1½m, firm) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Others are preferred again.

Sanafi Zabeel (15/8), Up The Jazz (3/1), Epidavros (7/2), Spirit Catcher (5/1), Jewel Maker (13/2), Titian (17/2), Pedro The Poet (14/1), Eagles Dream (28/1), On The Bubble (40/1)
EPIDAVROS is down to a mark she should be able to capitalise on and might be able to turn around recent Hamilton form with Sanafi Zabeel. Spirit Catcher is next on the list.
