DWINDLING FUNDS ran a cracker at Musselburgh on Tuesday, and a sixth course victory beckons. Celeborn looks a danger for the Boughey/Loughnane combination, while Walsingham could get back on track with Danny Tudhope returning.

Verdict
Likeable type who won 5 times at this track during a remarkable 2025. As good as ever when close second behind lightly-raced 3-y-o at Musselburgh 5 days ago. Thrives on his racing and can make a bold bid to resume winning ways.

Dual winner who is very lightly raced for his age. Didn't get the chance to build on a promising reappearance when short of room at Epsom last time (wore first-time cheekpieces). Looks interesting back down in grade for excellent connections.

Continued run of good form when fifth of 10 in a similar event at Redcar last time. Now 3 lb lower than when successful in this race (good to soft) 12 months ago and forecast rain should only bolster his chances.

Verdict
Promising start to finish fourth in a strong 7f Newmarket novice in the autumn. Landed the odds on Thirsk reappearance before again looking far from the finished article when runner-up in Hamilton novice last time. Handicapper hasn't missed him, though.

Verdict
Already won twice at Nottingham this season. Only bettered by another in-form rival when bidding for double at Carlisle (1m) last time, however, this is a stronger race than he has been contesting.

Some mitigation for both starts since winning readily at Pontefract in late-April. Has an excellent rapport with returning Danny Tudhope, who overlooks last year's winner Theoryofeverything.

Largely consistent sort. Looked unfortunate not to land a second C&D success on penultimate start. Found his run of good form coming to a halt at York subsequently and now faces a step up in grade.

Went the right way as a juvenile last season. Pitched into the deep end on handicap debut in the Sandringham latest. Current mark looks workable on the best of her 2-y-o form, and she drops quite markedly in grade here.

German 1m maiden winner for Andreas Schutz in 2025. Looked a different model when successful on second start for Jim Goldie at Hamilton (9f). Can be forgiven subsequent effort at Redcar, but he looks the lesser fancied of the stable's runners.

Won 4 times over C&D earlier in his career. Primarily campaigned over shorter nowadays, though he does at least benefit from a drop in grade following an underwhelming start to the season.
