11/1 |
Illusionist
Return to this trip looks a plus judged on his 5f efforts this term; has a poor strike-rate over the last three years but he's on an attractive mark and this is a drop in class; not ruled out.

- One Night Thunder
- Joanna Mason / G Tutty

|
9/1 |
One Night Thunder
Record of 0-8 since debut success (7f) and failed to beat a rival in big field at York most recently; chance depends on how well he responds to this drop in distance.

- O J Orr / R A Fahey

4/1 |
Admiral D
Has a poor strike-rate since 2022 and isn't particularly solid on 2025 efforts; however, drops in grade off a reduced mark and can't be dismissed; very similar type to Illusionist.

Willolarupi
Steadily back to form this season, winning off 5lb lower at Redcar (good to firm) most recently, taking record over 6f to 2-5; remains less exposed at this trip than shorter; respected.

- Minnesota Lad
- T Eaves / I Furtado

4/1 |
Minnesota Lad
Acts on any ground; has a modest strike-rate but shaped encouragingly at Lingfield (6f) most recently, finishing well for close second; gained sole handicap success off 1lb higher; possibilities.

- Keep Warm
- Billy Garritty / M & D Easterby

15/2 |
Keep Warm
Placed several times over 7f/1m; he's 2-2 in 6f handicaps, both wins at Pontefract (good/good to soft) in July 2023; interesting belatedly returned to this scenario with Ayr reappearance under his belt.

- Danzan
- D Allan / T D Easterby

5/1 |
Danzan
Won the Ayr Bronze Cup in 2022 and placed in same race last season; well held in big field at York last time; this veteran drops in class but is on a two-year losing spell.

- Speeding Bullet
- D Nolan / P T Midgley

33/1 |
Speeding Bullet
7f winner as a 2yo; generally regressive since, latterly for new yard; drops back to 6f for first time since debut and is best watched unless the market speaks favourably.

- Havana Gila
- Kaiya Fraser / Harry Eustace

12/1 |
Havana Gila
One of two 3yos in the field; something to find on 2025 efforts (over 5f) but the way she shaped last time suggests this return to 6f is worth exploring; well treated on best 2yo form.

- Sir Maxi
- P J McDonald / S England

11/2 |
Sir Maxi
Successful twice on AW this year and placed at Carlisle most recently; has form figures of 1121 over this C&D, the most recent performance off 4lb higher in October 2023; shortlisted.

12/1 |
Larchill Lass
Quite an exposed 3yo, as record of just 1-15 reflects; beaten favourite in a seller three starts ago and below-par fourth in handicap latest; first-time hood needs to make a difference.
