EPIDAVROS is down to a mark she should be able to capitalise on and might be able to turn around recent Hamilton form with Sanafi Zabeel. Spirit Catcher is next on the list.

Verdict
Second all-the-way Hamilton win of a productive first season with Jim Goldie when seeing off 8 rivals at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Should remain very competitive off 4 lb higher.

Fair maiden at up to 10.7f on the Flat in Ireland for Paul Traynor. The betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations on first run for Nicky Richards.

Verdict
Doubled up here and at Hamilton in September 2024. Winless since but she's largely been running well, reaching the frame again when 2 lengths fourth of 9 to Sanafi Zabeel at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 16 days ago. Considered from career-low mark.

Verdict
Landed a gamble over 9f at Musselburgh in April and ran at least as well when runner-up twice in May. Back in that sort of form when fifth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good, 10/3) 17 days ago and respected for yard among the winners.

Verdict
Fair maiden in Ireland for John Joseph Murphy. No show in 3 comeback outings for Tristan Davidson last month but has dropped 8 lb in the handicap and worth a second look in the betting having had a breathing operation.
