Third win of 2023 at Hamilton in August; good Carlisle fourth latest so can go well again

In excellent form, runner-up 12 days ago; firmly in the picture despite a 2lb rise

4-time C&D scorer but did too much up front at Ayr latest; merits serious consideration

C&D scorer; only sixth over C&D 19 days ago but sort to bounce back so needs considering

Temperamental type but he arrives in decent nick; now 29 runs without a victory, however
