1/10

Comment: Showed winning potential in his first four runs but he took a major step forward when second of 21 in a valuable sales race at York 13 days ago (6f, good to firm), throwing down a big challenge to the winner in the final furlong; back in trip on slower ground (handles good to soft) but obvious claims if he can repeat the latest run.

Top Lad

Jockey: Billy Garritty Trainer: Michael & David Easterby Age/Wt: 2/9-7

Comment: 7,000gns foal; Starman half-brother to winners Dagian (1m2f Flat, RPR 83; AW bumper), Luminent (1m; 71) and Mister Gaetano (Italian 7f/7.5f including 2yo); dam 7f/1m winner (including 2yo/AW/Listed; 107); bred to have a future but he has a useful standard to aim at.

Comment: 11,000euros yearling; second foal of a 1m/8.6f AW winner from the family of Group 1 winner Linngari; stable wouldn't be renowned for winning 2yo newcomers and she has a useful standard to aim at.

Comment: Won twice on turf last year and the last of those wins was off this mark (7f, good to soft); steadily running into form this campaign and dropping back to 6f (all 16 runs at 7f/1m) might not be too damaging on this track.

Comment: Lightly raced 3yo who kept on well for close third of six at Ripon (1m2f, good) in July and did likewise when 2l second of five at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, when she was outpaced some way out; the step up in trip could be the right move and she's a possible player.

Comment: His three wins have come at Musselburgh, the latest in July; however, he hasn't been at the top of his game there on his two starts since, most recently last Wednesday, and he needs to get back on track.

Comment: 9yo whose losing run goes back 14 races to 2023 but he was runner-up twice in a row this June (soft/good, including C&D) and bounced back from a lesser run when third of seven at Thirsk last time; could be thereabouts.

Comment: Disappointing in the main over the last two years but he took a step back in the right direction when staying on for fourth of six at Pontefract (1m4f, good) in July; another 2lb lower today and the extra yardage may well be a plus; each-way possibilities.

Comment: Below par at Pontefract last time and losing sequence is up to 13; however, he's now 7lb lower than when completing the second leg of a C&D double last May (good to soft/soft) and ten visits here have yielded five wins.

Comment: Three wins from his last nine starts, the latest at Ayr (7f, soft) in July, and he can't be discounted; however, good runs have been in the minority this year and it's been a long time since he won beyond 7f.

Comment: Inconsistent 3yo who is back in a handicap having won a classified at Ayr (1m, good) last month in first-time cheekpieces; however, he's unexposed in the headgear and could give another good account.

Comment: Lightly raced 3yo whose dam won over 1m2f and he's going beyond 7f for the first time today; cheekpieces are another possible source of improvement but he needs to take a major step forward from his two handicap runs.
