Well backed when scoring at Wolverhampton (6f, Class 5; 6-4 favourite) in March but below that level in three subsequent starts, 2l fifth of eight at Musselburgh (5f; 15-2) latest; was declared a non-runner with a vet's certificate (lame) at Hamilton on Sunday; one of three for Jim Goldie.

Struggled on first three starts for this yard last autumn but back to form with a bang when accounting for the reopposing Jonny Concrete and 11 others at Hamilton (6f, good) last Sunday; only scraped home by a short head so she may struggle to confirm that narrow superiority over Iain Jardine's charge on the revised terms.
AI verdict

SR 67 suggests ability but 66/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Getting on but retains a lot of his old ability, is still consistent enough and has won over C&D before; rare off-day at Thirsk a fortnight ago, having beating a subsequent winner in a small field off 1lb lower previously; quite capable of bouncing back.

Three solid efforts over 5f at Musselburgh this spring; no worries about the return to 6f in another big field and he may yet be capable of better; high on the shortlist.
AI verdict

SR 95 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Fair record here for the Quinn yard; made a successful debut for his current trainer off 2lb lower last September but will need to be spot on as he returns from more than six months off.

Won over C&D off this mark last summer but does most racing now over further and wants a good test at this trip; said to have run flat last time but does have his good and bad days now for a yard responsible for two others; 2-4 for Kaiya Fraser.

Wins have all come on Tapeta and does most racing now at Newcastle; decent second there last time, back up from 5f, but this is stronger and he's far from certain to repeat the effort.

Winless in two years but has slid to a handy mark and resumed in decent form; holds each-way claims but this is a stronger race than the Thirsk handicap in which he was a bit unlucky not to finish closer last time.

Soft-ground C&D winner last autumn who's twice been unlucky in big-field Thirsk handicaps switched to cheekpieces this spring; better off with Juan Les Pins than on his comeback and enters calculations.

SR 93 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless since 2024 and winless in sprints since 2023; said to have hung left when well beaten on his return to turf seven weeks ago and only holds outside claims.
AI verdict

SR 66 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 50/1.

Regressive maiden who returns from seven months off having undergone a second round of wind surgery; done a lot of her racing over 7f and she'd be a surprise winner for a yard that has more obvious claims with Jonny Concrete.
AI verdict

SR 71 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
