Duty First (2/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Archie Watson
- Jockey: Hollie Doyle
- Duty First made an encouraging debut at Newmarket, finishing fourth behind a highly regarded winner. With that experience under her belt, she is expected to improve and could be a leading contender in this field.
Shining Pearl (15/8) – Betvictor
- Trainer: K R Burke
- Jockey: Clifford Lee
- Shining Pearl showed marked improvement when stepping up to seven furlongs at Newmarket, finishing a strong second. She’s likely to be the main threat and should be right in the mix again with further progress.
Silent Affair (14/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: John Butler
- Jockey: Connor Beasley
- Making her racecourse debut, Silent Affair is well-bred and related to multiple winners. While she may need the run, any market support would be worth noting, and she could surprise with a strong performance.
South Road (8/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Lucinda Russell
- Jockey: Oisin Orr
- South Road kept on well after a slow start to finish fourth on debut at Pontefract over six furlongs. The extra furlong here could see her improve further, making her an interesting outsider.
Who Wants Me (9/1) – Betvictor
Who Wants Me was prominent early before fading late on at Carlisle over seven furlongs. With that experience, she may fare better this time, and the softer ground could be in her favor.
Trainer: Iain Jardine
Jockey: Andrew Mullen
Verdict
Duty First is preferred after a promising debut and could find this a winnable opportunity. Shining Pearl is expected to give her the most to do, having improved last time out. South Road is one to watch, particularly if finding extra for the step up in distance, while Silent Affair might spring a surprise if she’s sharp on her debut.

3yo+, 9 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
Rock And Royal (15/8) – Bet365
- Trainer: Dylan Cunha
- Jockey: Billy Loughnane
- Fresh off a solid win at Yarmouth, Rock And Royal seems well suited to this level. She’s shown potential on various ground conditions and could follow up with another strong performance.
Wallaroo (5/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Ivan Furtado
- Jockey: Elle-May Croot
- Consistent in recent starts, Wallaroo has been knocking on the door. Though he’s stepping up to a mile on turf for the first time, the drop in grade could be what he needs to break through.
Rebecca’s Girl (11/2) – Unibet
- Trainer: Gary Rutherford
- Jockey: Oisin Orr
- Previously showing glimpses of ability, Rebecca’s Girl is stepping up to a mile on turf. If she can transfer her past form to this distance, she may well be a contender.
Millbuie (8/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Ewan Whillans
- Jockey: P J McDonald
- After a promising runner-up finish at Hamilton in July, Millbuie could be in the mix if he bounces back from a below-par effort on Saturday.
Likleman (8/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Simon West
- Jockey: Jason Hart
- While still a maiden, Likleman has shown enough in prior runs at a mile to suggest he could be competitive if finding improvement.
Believe Me Now (8/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Iain Jardine
- Jockey: Andrew Mullen
- Making his debut for a new yard after a layoff, Believe Me Now has hinted at ability in the past. Market support would be interesting, suggesting he could be primed for a big run.
Desert Dream (16/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Seb Spencer
- Jockey: Dale Swift
- With his last two wins coming over shorter trips, Desert Dream steps up to a mile for the first time on turf in years. His recent AW effort was fair, and if he handles the extra distance, he could surprise.
Our Noble Lord (9/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Lucinda Russell
- Jockey: Clifford Lee
- After modest form, Our Noble Lord showed significant improvement when third over 1m2f at this track on Saturday. The drop back to a mile raises questions, but he could still be in the frame.
Chinese Spirit (16/1) – Unibet
A dual course winner in the past, Chinese Spirit hasn’t had the easiest of seasons. If he can recapture some of his old form, he could be a lively outsider.
Trainer: Linda Perratt
Jockey: Tommie Jakes
Verdict
Rock And Royal is the one to beat after a decisive victory at Yarmouth. Wallaroo and Rebecca’s Girl look the main dangers, while Millbuie could be worth another chance if bouncing back to his best.

3yo+, 9 Runners
Flat,Turf , 1m , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
Aspire To Glory (5/2) – Bet365
- Trainer: Alice Haynes
- Jockey: Hollie Doyle
- While Aspire To Glory has performed better over 7f on the all-weather tracks, she does have the stamina for a mile on turf. A slight dip in form recently, but she’s still a strong contender.
Retirement Beckons (9/2) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Linda Perratt
- Jockey: Paul Mulrennan
- Last year’s winner of this race, Retirement Beckons hasn’t shown consistent form this season, but given his past success in this race, he shouldn’t be discounted.
Loom Large (5/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Iain Jardine
- Jockey: Mohammed Tabti
- Loom Large has struggled this year, but his previous wins over longer distances show he has the capability. A return to form is possible, especially with his stable doing well recently.
Keep Me Stable (4/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Linda Perratt
- Jockey: Tommie Jakes
- Having won twice over 7f on the all-weather in November, Keep Me Stable’s form has dipped. However, the drop in class could see him bounce back.
Showmethewayhome (15/2) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Ewan Whillans
- Jockey: Rowan Scott
- Showmethewayhome has shown glimpses of promise over C&D and at 1m2f on the all-weather. If he can find that form again, he could be in the mix.
Chris’s Mate (10/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Gary Harrison
- Jockey: Paula Muir
- Close second on his handicap debut over a mile last September, Chris’s Mate should come on for his recent run and could be a threat here.
Darker (12/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Ruth Carr
- Jockey: James Sullivan
- Despite being winless in 25 attempts, Darker wasn’t far away in a better race over this C&D in June. He’s not without hope if recapturing that form.
Odette’s Beau (14/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Michael Dods
- Jockey: Connor Beasley
- With poor performances in handicaps so far, Odette’s Beau has a lot to prove. However, the drop in distance might help her cause.
Dark Eclipse (25/1) – Unibet
Returning from a lengthy absence, Dark Eclipse faces a tough task at these weights. The market might offer clues, but he’s hard to fancy.
Trainer: Fred Watson
Jockey: Cam Hardie
Verdict
Retirement Beckons could repeat last year’s victory in this race, especially given the weak opposition. Aspire To Glory and Loom Large both have claims, while Keep Me Stable might offer value if rediscovering his previous form.

Sir Garfield (15/8) – Bet365
- Trainer: John & Sean Quinn
- Jockey: Jason Hart
- Sir Garfield has been in excellent form since donning blinkers, placing second here last time out. He remains a strong contender.
Braes Of Doune (4/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Jim Goldie
- Jockey: Paul Mulrennan
- While Braes Of Doune has only one career win, it was at this venue. He’s been knocking on the door in recent starts and looks set to run well again.
Novak (5/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Iain Jardine
- Jockey: Mohammed Tabti
- Despite being a frustrating horse for backers, Novak’s recent runner-up finish suggests he’s capable, though he often finds one or two too good.
Monhammer (10/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Linda Perratt
- Jockey: Billy Loughnane
- Monhammer hasn’t been at his best lately but has the ability to bounce back, especially with some cut in the ground.
Darbucks (12/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Christopher Kellett
- Jockey: Connor Beasley
- Though Darbucks rarely wins, he’s often in the frame. He’s one to consider for each-way backers.
Angel Of The Bay (10/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: David & Nicola Barron
- Jockey: Sam James
- Angel Of The Bay’s best performance came on softer ground, and any rain could help her chances of making an impact here.
Jkr Cobbler (10/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Iain Jardine
- Jockey: Andrew Mullen
- Jkr Cobbler won this race last year but hasn’t shown the same form this season. He’ll need to improve to feature.
Black Friday (20/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: R Mike Smith
- Jockey: Joanna Mason
- A four-time course winner, Black Friday hasn’t been at his best recently but could improve if the ground comes up soft.
Trais Fluors (20/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Linda Perratt
- Jockey: P J McDonald
- The veteran of the field, Trais Fluors has struggled for consistency and will need to roll back the years to be competitive.
Banner Road (14/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Lucinda Russell
- Jockey: Oisin Orr
- Banner Road has been below par since switching yards and might prefer a longer trip, making him hard to back with confidence here.
Ahamoment (20/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: David & Nicola Barron
- Jockey: Clifford Lee
- Ahamoment hasn’t been firing lately and looks up against it here, even off a reduced mark.
Colour Code (66/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Linda Perratt
- Jockey: Tommie Jakes
- Colour Code has struggled in handicaps and needs to find significant improvement to challenge.
Agnes Grey (40/1) – Bet365
Agnes Grey has shown little in four starts this season and looks an unlikely winner here.
Trainer: John & Sean Quinn
Jockey: James Sullivan
Verdict
Sir Garfield is the one to beat based on his recent form. Braes Of Doune offers a solid alternative, especially given his consistency at Ayr. Novak and Angel Of The Bay also hold each-way claims in a race where ground conditions could play a significant role.

Aviemore (11/4) – Bet365
- Trainer: Charlie Johnston
- Jockey: Franny Norton
- Verdict: Aviemore is lightly raced but showed strong determination to win over this course and distance last month. With more progress expected, he looks like the one to beat.
Pol Roger (9/4) – Unibet
- Trainer: Michael Dods
- Jockey: Connor Beasley
- Verdict: Pol Roger has been consistently in the frame, including two wins at this track. He was narrowly beaten last time out and should go close again.
Faylaq (9/2) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Jim Goldie
- Jockey: Paul Mulrennan
- Verdict: Faylaq couldn’t catch the leader at Hamilton last week but stays well and could be a factor if the pace is strong.
Toshizou (13/2) – Bet365
- Trainer: Roger Fell & Sean Murray
- Jockey: Billy Loughnane
- Verdict: Toshizou has only one career win but often runs well. He’s capable of being involved in the finish if he can recapture his best form.
Yorkshire Lady (9/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Michael & David Easterby
- Jockey: Joanna Mason
- Verdict: A dual-purpose performer, Yorkshire Lady is on a fair mark and has shown ability both over hurdles and on the flat. She could spring a surprise.
Straya (14/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Katie Scott
- Jockey: Sam James
- Verdict: Straya struggled on stable debut but has the potential to improve now stepping up in trip.
Bashful (16/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Iain Jardine
- Jockey: Andrew Mullen
- Verdict: Bashful has not been in top form since undergoing wind surgery and will need to show more to figure prominently here.
John Chard VC (20/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Roger Fell & Sean Murray
- Jockey: Hollie Doyle
- Verdict: John Chard VC showed promise earlier in his career but has been quiet in his two outings for his current yard. He’ll need to bounce back to be competitive.
Cavallo Pazzo (25/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Daragh Bourke
- Jockey: Jason Hart
- Verdict: Cavallo Pazzo had success in Ireland on heavy ground but struggled on his stable debut at Ripon. Improvement is required.
Stand Strong (25/1) – Bet365
Verdict: An ex-Godolphin runner with some ability, but he hasn’t raced much recently, making him a tricky one to assess.
Trainer: Ewan Whillans
Jockey: Rowan Scott
Verdict
Aviemore is the pick in this contest due to his promising profile and recent course win. Pol Roger should provide stiff competition, especially given his consistent performances at this track. Faylaq is another with solid claims, particularly if the race is run at a good pace.

3yo+, 9 Runners
Flat,Turf , 6f , GOOD, Good to soft in places (GoingStick: 7.7)
Pembrokeshire (2/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Iain Jardine
- Jockey: Andrew Mullen
- Verdict: Pembrokeshire arrives here on the back of a solid win over 7f at this track. While the drop back to 6f is a slight question mark, his current form makes him a strong contender.
Atomise (9/4) – Unibet
- Trainer: Michael Dods
- Jockey: Connor Beasley
- Verdict: Atomise has been knocking on the door without quite getting there. The addition of blinkers could be the key to finally breaking her losing streak.
Sound Of Iona (9/2) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Jim Goldie
- Jockey: Amie Waugh
- Verdict: Despite a poor showing last time out, Sound Of Iona’s previous form over this course and distance keeps her in the mix. A return to form could see her challenging here.
Majestic Newlaw (10/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Iain Jardine
- Jockey: Mohammed Tabti
- Verdict: Majestic Newlaw hasn’t been at his best lately, but the drop back to 6f and a reduced handicap mark might help him find his way back into the frame.
Warminster (10/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Katie Scott
- Jockey: Sam James
- Verdict: Warminster won over this course and distance in May off a higher mark. If he can return to that form, he could be a factor here, especially if the ground dries out.
Ignac Lamar (16/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Jim Goldie
- Jockey: Ryan Sexton
- Verdict: Ignac Lamar hasn’t fired in his last couple of runs, but the recent wind surgery could lead to an improvement. He’s not without a chance if bouncing back.
Earn Your Stripes (9/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: R Mike Smith
- Jockey: Andrew Breslin
- Verdict: A previous winner over this course and distance, Earn Your Stripes has been below par recently but could step up if the conditions suit.
Sixcor (10/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Linda Perratt
- Jockey: Billy Loughnane
- Verdict: Sixcor has been struggling to find the winner’s enclosure, but a fair draw and drop in class could see him run into a place.
Gleaming Arch (50/1) – Betvictor
Verdict: Returning from a very long layoff, Gleaming Arch is hard to recommend with any confidence.
Trainer: Fred Watson
Jockey: Cam Hardie
Verdict
Atomise seems poised to finally get her head in front, especially with the addition of blinkers to sharpen her up. Pembrokeshire is the main danger, coming off a recent win, while Sound Of Iona can’t be discounted if bouncing back to her previous form.

Ramon Di Loria (3/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Ewan Whillans
- Jockey: P J McDonald
- Verdict: Ramon Di Loria has consistently performed well over this course and distance. His recent efforts suggest he’s capable of a strong showing, making him a key player here.
The Gay Blade (5/2) – Unibet
- Trainer: Iain Jardine
- Jockey: Andrew Mullen
- Verdict: The Gay Blade enters this race following a determined dead-heat victory at Hamilton. A small rise in the weights shouldn’t be enough to stop him from being a major contender again.
Crocodile Power (5/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Seb Spencer
- Jockey: Dale Swift
- Verdict: Crocodile Power has shown glimpses of promise on turf this summer and should be thereabouts if he can build on his recent form.
Inanna (7/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Jim Goldie
- Jockey: Paul Mulrennan
- Verdict: Although Inanna has struggled to get her head in front since her debut win, she starts out for a new yard here and her low mark gives her a fighting chance.
See My Baby Jive (13/2) – Unibet
- Trainer: Donald Whillans
- Jockey: Jason Hart
- Verdict: A three-time C&D winner last year, See My Baby Jive has been inconsistent this season but can’t be discounted if she rediscovers her best form.
Piper’s Fort (10/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Katie Scott
- Jockey: Sam James
- Verdict: Piper’s Fort has failed to impress in recent outings at this venue, but any softening of the ground could work in his favor.
Iva Batt (12/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: R K Watson
- Jockey: Paula Muir
- Verdict: Iva Batt didn’t justify market support when last seen over 5f here, and while she’s on a low mark, there are risks attached.
Shatin Venture (16/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Linda Perratt
- Jockey: Andrew Breslin
- Verdict: Shatin Venture has been close without threatening in 5f handicaps here and may find this distance a bit beyond him.
Onthebunny (33/1) – Betvictor
Verdict: An exposed maiden, Onthebunny offers little appeal having never threatened over C&D last time out. It’s hard to see him troubling the principals here.
Trainer: Linda Perratt
Jockey: James Sullivan
Verdict
The Gay Blade gets the nod to follow up his recent dead-heat victory and continue his good run of form. Ramon Di Loria is expected to be a strong challenger, especially if he can reproduce his earlier efforts at this track. Crocodile Power is another to consider for those looking for value in the race.

Dingwall (7/2) – Bet365
- Trainer: Iain Jardine
- Jockey: Andrew Mullen
- Verdict: Dingwall found his form over this course and distance last time, with the step up in trip proving beneficial. He’s likely to be a major player again here.
We Still Believe (11/2) – Unibet
- Trainer: Daragh Bourke
- Jockey: Jason Hart
- Verdict: After a string of consistent performances, We Still Believe got his reward with a win over this track and trip last month. He remains in good heart and should be in the mix.
Carvalhal (5/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Michael Dods
- Jockey: Connor Beasley
- Verdict: Carvalhal was second to Dingwall here before going on to score at Hamilton. He’s in good form and should make his presence felt once more.
Ayr Poet (8/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Jim Goldie
- Jockey: Paul Mulrennan
- Verdict: Ayr Poet showed signs of a revival when third at Carlisle last week. With five previous wins at this track, he can’t be dismissed.
Glasses Up (14/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: R Mike Smith
- Jockey: Joanna Mason
- Verdict: Glasses Up has a solid record at Ayr, with seven of his eight career wins coming here. Although it’s been a year since his last victory, he’s capable of bouncing back.
Ledger (12/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Lucinda Russell
- Jockey: Oisin Orr
- Verdict: Ledger has already won twice this season at Hamilton, beating We Still Believe on both occasions. Although his form has dipped slightly, he still holds each-way claims.
Golden Valour (12/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: R Mike Smith
- Jockey: Andrew Breslin
- Verdict: Golden Valour got off the mark on turf here in May and came close again last month. He’s another who could feature prominently if things fall his way.
Jaminoz (14/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: Lucinda Russell
- Jockey: Archie Young
- Verdict: Jaminoz has been running consistently without winning this season. Although still 3lb higher than his last win, he could sneak into a place if things go right.
Gregorina (7/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Adrian McGuinness
- Jockey: Adam Caffrey
- Verdict: Gregorina got her first win at Ballinrobe in June after 18 attempts. She faces a stiffer task here but remains an interesting contender.
Bearaway (14/1) – Bet365
- Trainer: Seb Spencer
- Jockey: Dale Swift
- Verdict: Bearaway was second over this course and distance in May but couldn’t follow it up at Beverley last month. A return to form isn’t out of the question.
Meade Gold (12/1) – Unibet
- Trainer: David & Nicola Barron
- Jockey: Clifford Lee
- Verdict: Meade Gold ran too freely on his handicap debut at Leicester. If he can settle better, he might have more to offer at this level.
Catrake Force (25/1) – Betvictor
- Trainer: Grant Tuer
- Jockey: Sam James
- Verdict: Catrake Force showed promise on her debut last year but has struggled to replicate that form. She’ll need a big improvement to figure here.
Recorwoman (33/1) – Bet365
Verdict: Recorwoman won off this mark last year but has been below par since. It’s hard to see her getting involved unless rediscovering her best form.
Trainer: Ivan Furtado
Jockey: Elle-May Croot
Verdict
Dingwall is taken to build on his recent success over this course and distance. We Still Believe and Carvalhal are likely to provide the stiffest opposition, with both in good form and capable of making their presence felt.
