Form & Verdict
Soft-ground winner at Carlisle (1m1f) last term; steadily finding her form this season and she kept on well when a close fourth here (1m2f) last Monday; this is a different test at this new trip but she has claims if her stamina holds out.

Hasn't threatened over 1m1f on her last two starts but before those she reappeared with a good second at Catterick (1m4f, good) and is 3lb lower today; has won here and could have a big part to play back up in trip.

Won at Ayr (1m5f, good) last July and this month's reappearance second at Catterick was over 1m4f; drops back to 1m1f here but she's shown versatility in terms of trip in the past and could again be involved at the finish.

Form & Verdict
0-19 but he ran well to finish third at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) last month and built on that with a near-miss in similar conditions at Nottingham last Saturday; only 1lb higher than for that clear second and he seems fairly versatile ground-wise; key player.

Winner at Redcar (2m, good to soft) and Musselburgh (1m6f, soft; by 10l) last term; not disgraced back on Flat at Newcastle (1m4f) in March; cheekpieces get their first airing since October and stepping back up in trip should suit, so he needs a close look.

Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick off a similar mark at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April but he's been well held in last two runs; bit to prove again at this new trip and he's 0-10 on turf; yard also runs Cascade Hall.

Versatile 6yo who had form over all sorts of trips last year and just did enough to hold off Ardaddy over C&D one week ago; recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave him a shade vulnerable, though.

Form & Verdict
Record of 0-12 but he went close here (1m7f) in May and returned to form with a front-running third at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) last month; that wasn't far off his best form and he has claims if he can back that up.

Soon in a clear lead and perhaps stole a four-runner race at Ayr (1m7f, good to firm) on seasonal debut, belatedly opening his account; however, the 10l runner-up has franked the form by scoring since; double looks possible, provided everything again goes his way.

5yo who is still a maiden after 12 starts but he went close at Catterick (1m6f, good to soft) in May and didn't get much luck when a close seventh at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) last time; seems to have found his level recently and has possibilities back up in trip.

He lacks a recent outing and was inconsistent last year but reappears on a competitive mark and his trainer won this last year; ran well last May on his sole previous visit to Catterick and could have a part to play.
