Sparkle In His Eye²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 63| C| D

6/1

Successful 3 times on AW earlier this year and turned in best effort of the campaign when gaining breakthrough success on turf in a C&D handicap 3 weeks ago, just holding on. Can give another good account.

Unashamed²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Christian Howarth| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 61

15/2

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 7/1) 25 days ago, joining leader line. Only 1 lb higher now but he's yet to get his head in front on turf.

Shahnaz^p⁴^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁵⁾| T: G Tutty| OR: 63

11/8

Going the right way for this yard, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts in convincing fashion at Hamilton (8.3f) 4 days ago. No surprise to see her out under a penalty and she rates a serious player once more.

Ayr Empress^p1¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Jonny Peate| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 59| CD

8/1

Doubled career tally over C&D in April and run with credit on 2 of last 3 starts in defeat, fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, firm, 12/1) 10 days ago, left poorly placed. Likely to be thereabouts.

Flylikeaneagle^b,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: William Pyle⁽³⁾| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 58

10/3

Unreliable type but bright start for new yard, successful at Ayr (10f) prior to finishing runner-up at that venue over 1m 8 days ago. Remains on a handy mark and he shouldn't be discounted in present groove.

Ayr Poet⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Shannon Watts⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 57| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Fourth of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Hamilton (11.1f, good) 41 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals.

Form: 3569-84

Forecasts

Shahnaz (11/8), Flylikeaneagle (10/3), Sparkle In His Eye (6/1), Unashamed (15/2), Ayr Empress (8/1), Ayr Poet (17/2)

SHAHNAZ has really found her feet for Gemma Tutty, making it 2 wins from her last 3 starts in convincing fashion at Hamilton 4 days ago and she may well be up to going in again under a penalty. Flylikeaneagle and Ayr Empress can emerge as the chief threats.
