Donald (G)
Lightly-raced sort who made a fair start to his handicap career when fourth of 9 over 5f at Nottingham on reappearance 11 days ago. May come on for the run.

Hi Lord (G)
Left his first 2 efforts of the year well behind to win 12-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 17 days ago, just holding on. Should remain competitive off 4 lb higher.

Classy Al (G)
Quirky sort who hit a purple patch last summer, winning 3 times, including C&D. Hasn't featured in a couple of big-field Class 4s at Musselburgh this spring but may do a lot better returned to a lower grade and with Paul Mulrennan back in …

Jm Jhingree (G)
Three-time winner for Jim Goldie in 2025 but well beaten in a pair of 5f Musselburgh handicaps since joining Ewan Whillans. Has something to prove for now.

Water Of Leith (G)
Gained reward for a string of consistent displays when readily ending losing run at Wolverhampton (6f) in March. Respectable fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good) 21 days ago, merely closing up late.

Military Girl (F)
Successful at Catterick on last season's reappearance and recorded another good first effort of the season when third of 6 at Pontefract (5f, good) 4 weeks ago. Claims if she can build on that.

Henery Hawk (G)
All 7 wins on all-weather, the latest at Wolverhampton (5f) 23 days ago. A 0-20 turf record means confidence isn't high about him following up.

Thunderstorm Katie (M)

Five-time winner during a busy and productive 2025. Back on form when running on for second of 10 at Hamilton last week and likely to be adding to her tally again soon.
