J: Murray Dodd

T: Donald Whillans

Two wins on soft/heavy over 3m at Ayr last January; some fair efforts since; return to this trip should suit but best form on softer ground.

Shoeshine Boy

10st 7lb

J: Sean Quinlan

T: Donald Whillans

Course specialist who won two in a row over C&D (heavy/soft) in January; he's better than he showed when 15l third over C&D (soft) in February and the subsequent break may have helped, but this 10yo may still be vulnerable back up in grade.

Shoeshine Boy

11st 11lb

J: Craig Nichol

T: Donald Whillans

In-form 10yo who is seeking a C&D hat-trick after wins on heavy and soft ground; had little in hand the last time (game) but a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold show.

10st 8lb

J: Craig Nichol

T: Donald Whillans

10yo who made it 3-9 at Ayr when winning over C&D (heavy) 16 days ago; remains feasibly treated back up 4lb and could be thereabouts.

J: Craig Nichol

T: Donald Whillans

Not getting any younger but his staying-on second behind Kelvin Forlonge over C&D (heavy) in early December was a good effort and he wasn't far off the pace when falling two out at Wetherby (2m, soft) last time.
