Golden Valour
- J: Rhys Elliott
- T: R. Mike Smith
- F:
- Age
- 10
- Weight
- 9st 4lbs
- Or
- 49
C&D winner but he's an unreliable individual and came in only seventh of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (9f) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on now.
Braes Of Doune
- J: Paul Mulrennan
- T: Jim Goldie
- F:
- Age
- 8
- Weight
- 9st 13lbs
- Or
- 58
Course winner in 2024. In good form early in 2025 but off for 13 months so this veteran has his fitness to prove.
Mayor Of Maghera
- J: David Nolan
- T: R. Mike Smith
- F:
- Age
- 4
- Weight
- 10st 2lbs
- Or
- 61
Winner on the Flat for Philip Makin but struggled last year and no show over hurdles for Gerald Stephen Quinn. Much better signs though for new yard with third of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (9f) 14 days ago. Merits consideration.
Rory's Gold (Ire)
- J: Amie Waugh
- T: Simon Waugh
- F:
- Age
- 4
- Weight
- 10st 1lbs
- Or
- 60
Low-mileage 4-y-o who arrives in good nick for his new stable, eighth of 18 in handicap at Doncaster (1m) 5 days ago. Not out of things in his bid for a maiden success.
Walk On Walk On (Ire)
- J: Ryan Sexton
- T: Noel Wilson
- F:
- Age
- 3
- Weight
- 8st 11lbs
- Or
- 52
Still a maiden and he came in last of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on with something to prove.
- Age

- 8st 7lbs
- Or

Offered little in 3 novices last season for Gary Rutherford, seventh of 8 at Catterick (7f) 8 months ago. Needs this yard switch to spark major progress on his handicap debut.
Approaching Dawn (Ire)
- J: Lauren Young
- T: Jim Goldie
- F:
- Age
- 6
- Weight
- 9st 1lbs
- Or
- 46
Had usual hood left off and vastly improved when getting off the mark at the seventh attempt in 11-runner handicap at Musselburgh (1m) 13 days ago. A likely player nudged up 1 lb.
- Age

- Weight
- 9st 8lbs
- Or
- 63
Brought along steadily for Daniel McLoughlin, sixth of 9 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f) 40 days ago. Likely capable of better on yard/handicap debut.
Hunterian (Ire)
- J: Andrew Mullen
- T: Charlie Johnston
- F:
- Age
- 3
- Weight
- 9st 5lbs
- Or
- 60
Is going the right way since sent handicapping and posted a very good neck second of 11 at Hamilton (1m) 9 days ago. Big shout off an unchanged mark.
Timeform Verdict
HUNTERIAN rates just the pick of the weights so is taken to go one better than his narrow Hamilton reverse and gain a deserved breakthrough success here. Approaching Dawn rates a big threat though after sparking into life with victory at Musselburgh recently, while Mayor Of Maghera and Rory's Gold also need considering.
Betting Forecast
25/1 Golden Valour, 10/1 Braes Of Doune, 5/1 Mayor Of Maghera, 20/1 Rory's Gold (Ire), 33/1 Walk On Walk On (Ire), 25/1 Flying Moonlight (Ire), 5/2 Approaching Dawn (Ire), 18/1 Carmel Valley (Ire), 11/4 Hunterian (Ire)
