Cargin Bhui^b²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: J Fanning| T: T D Barron| OR: 71| D

9/1

Below form seventh of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Looks to be merely ticking over at present but blinkers are back on and he's dropped in grade.

Form: 3-20467

Eternal Sunshine³⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 71| BF| CD

15/8

C&D winner. Five wins from 18 Flat runs. 6/4, fourth of 6 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 39 days ago. That was disappointing considering the promise of her C&D effort prior to that. Should bounce back.

Form: 0-79334

Ziggy's Triton⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

11/2

Big career best when winning 4-runner novice at Nottingham (5f, good) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt back in a handicap from a fair mark judged on that display.

Form: 2-5281

(6)

Our Absent Friends⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: T Davidson| OR: 69| C| D

3/1

Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2024. 9/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 8 days ago, though that run can be forgiven as he made a bit of a hash of the start. Headgear removed.

Form: 377445

(4)

Classy Al¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Lauren Young⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 67| CD

6/1

Tricky customer but a 4-time course winner and he added to tally at Hamilton in June. Below form fourth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago, very slowly away.

Nelson Gay^b,t¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 66| CD

11/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win here in May. 14/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 17 days ago. Capable of bouncing back.

Form: 417147

Jm Jhingree³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: J S Goldie| OR: 69| D

22/1

20/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 37 days ago, slowly away. Back in a much more suitable band of handicap.

Form: 672-507

(3)

Zaphea⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 63| D

50/1

Unreliable sort. Last of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 33/1) 8 days ago. Not easy to make a case for given known issues out of the stalls.

Form: 1-09367

Forecasts

Eternal Sunshine (15/8), Our Absent Friends (3/1), Ziggy's Triton (11/2), Classy Al (6/1), Cargin Bhui (9/1), Nelson Gay (11/1), Jm Jhingree (22/1), Zaphea (50/1)

ZIGGY'S TRITON showed much-improved form when opening his account in a small-field novice at Nottingham last week and this mark may well be within range. It's easy to excuse Our Absent Friends' run over C&D last time and he can get back on track, with Eternal Sunshine also of interest at this level.
