Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on her Redcar win (1m2f, soft) last spring and she returned to form with a second under Henry Callan there (1m, good; second run after wind surgery) in July; that was eyecatching from off the pace and she's an interesting contender.

Form & Verdict
Turned things around after a short break when close second at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) last month; has claims if he backs that up off unchanged mark and he seems fairly versatile ground-wise.

Form & Verdict
Acts on good to firm and soft; has been up and down this year but was beaten less than 2l at Ayr (1m2f) last time and is now only 1lb higher than for his win there last summer; could have a big part to play if he gets a good pace back at this trip; cheekpieces removed.

Recorded the 18th win of his long career when leading late over C&D in February (for Myla Coppins); ran well behind a thriving rival at Lingfield next time but he failed to fire over C&D a fortnight ago (finished behind Coloane); he has bounced back from quiet runs before so can't be ruled out.

18th success of his long career when getting the better of Antiquity (winner since and runs in the 6.00) over C&D last month; bumped into an in-form opponent at Lingfield two weeks ago (7f; blinkered first time); another 2lb rise is not ideal but he is likely to give his running.

Well into the veteran stage but he retains plenty of enthusiasm and ran on well to beat a subsequent winner (Age Of Time third) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) three weeks ago, his 18th success; a 2lb rise not excessive but late in the day to be giving blinkers a go (has run well in new headgear before).

Form & Verdict
Ten-time winner who is on a dangerous mark and didn't get much luck when fifth in a similar race at Thirsk (1m, good; 3-1 favourite) on Friday; this is his third run in ten days but he has possibilities if he gets the breaks; has won on good to firm and heavy ground.
