Jaminoz^b,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: O J Orr| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 62| CD

10/3

Picked up where he left off at Carlisle when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (11.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Elvington, having run of race. Up further 4 lb but he's clearly in good order.

Form: 0-56511

Cascade Hall³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 60

5/1

Sent off 66/1 when last of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 31 days ago. That was a much deeper race and he's back in his pay grade, for all he remains a maiden.

Taylormade Lad³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 63

10/3

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap (7/2) at Carlisle (11.2f, good to firm) 32 days ago, battling well. That attitude will stand him in good stead and slight step up in trip will help, too.

Cougar^b⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 51| D

7/4

5/1 and blinkered for first time, improved on recent efforts to win 5-runner handicap at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 7 days ago, readily. Carries penalty. Expected to be bang there given he retains handicap scope.

Elvington^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S H James| T: L Bailey| OR: 46

25/1

Cheekpieces on for first time, 1¾ lengths second of 8 to Jaminoz in handicap at this course (11.1f, good to soft, 125/1) 18 days ago, having run of race. Task is to back that up.

Form: 535-882

Aighear¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 45| CD

17/2

C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, 4¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Jaminoz in handicap at this course (11.1f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Must improve.

Forecasts

Cougar (7/4), Taylormade Lad (10/3), Jaminoz (10/3), Cascade Hall (5/1), Aighear (17/2), Elvington (25/1)

It's hard to get away from COUGAR, who finally cashed in on a falling mark in first-time blinkers at Musselburgh last week and the follow-up is firmly on the cards. Taylormade Lad may offer most resistance.
