Winless last year but eased in weights as a result and ran well after 7 weeks off when second of 7 in handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, headed last ½f and no extra late on. No reason why she won't give another good account.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Garritty| T: L Bailey| OR:  70
Landed a big-field York handicap (6f) and ended last season with a good fourth in Ayr Bronze Cup. 8/1, not seen to best effect following 3 months off when respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f) 9 days ago, but all 3 career victories have come at 6f.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane| T: M Dods| OR:  70| CD
Gained reward for his consistency in change of headgear when landing a C&D handicap 3 starts back and followed up at Wolverhampton later last month. Creditable third of 9 in handicap back at this C&D 13 days ago but this mark demands a little more.

Course winner. 7/1, good length second of 11 to Darlo Pride in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 20 days ago, running on late having been caught a little too far back. Needs to cut out the slow starts.

Age: 7|  Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: P D Niven| OR:  62| CD
C&D winner who resumed winning ways at Thirsk (5f) in summer of 2023. Absent since finishing sixth of 11 in a C&D handicap 14 months ago though, so feasible to think he will be better for the run.

Ramon Di Loria100
Age: 7|  Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Hart| T: Ewan Whillans| OR:  60| CD
C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in August. 11/2, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.1f, good) in October having been left poorly placed. Returns from a break operating from last winning mark.

Gustav Graves4(ex 4)
Age: 7|  Weight: 8-10| J: Joanna Mason| T: D Shaw| OR:  55| CD
C&D winner who confirmed promise of his previous run here when capitalising on tumbling mark in 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on Monday, well on top finish. Obvious claims under a 4 lb penalty remembering he was successful from much higher marks last winter.

Oriental Princeh8
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-7| J: Amie Waugh(3)| T: J S Goldie| OR:  56| BF| CD
Improved dropped back to the minimum trip/fitted with a hood when landing back-to-back C&D handicaps in recent weeks. Good third without settling as well when runner-up over 6f back here 8 days ago and the return to 5f looks in his favour. Respected.

Forecasts

Oriental Prince (9/4), Gustav Graves (9/2), Mumayaz (5/1), Thunder Star (5/1), Darlo Pride (6/1), Dicko The Legend (10/1), Ramon Di Loria (14/1), Sugar Baby (25/1)

Verdict

GUSTAV GRAVES confirmed the promise of his previous start here when capitalising on his much-reduced mark at Wolverhampton on Monday and, having had a prolific spell this time last winter, he's fancied to make another bold bid under a penalty. Oriental Prince back at the minimum trip, and Thunder Star, who ran well when runner-up here last time, can pose chief resistance in a competitive affair.
