The stars aligned at Musselburgh last time, overcoming trouble in running to narrowly win a 5f handicap; no doubt he has the ability to feature off his revised mark but he wouldn't be an obvious one to follow up.

Making up for lost time this summer, winning four of her last five starts and doing well to come from an unpromising position over C&D 18 days ago; style of racing is making it hard for the handicapper to keep up and her pedigree offers hope there is more to come.

Lightly raced 4yo who won four times this summer (two over C&D) and returned to winning ways when getting up in the final strides here (5f, good) yesterday; she's 4lb higher in a hotter race today but is clearly thriving and could be bang there if this doesn't come too soon.

Mixed performances at Musselburgh and Hamilton across his last five starts and he's often not straightforward; however, all four of his wins have come here (from 22 visits to Ayr) and he might not be far away now back at this track, provided he takes to the first-time visor.
