Did well last season at about 1m but yet to get overly competitive in four handicaps, from 1m2f to 1m4f; perhaps this drop in trip can halt the slide.

Low-mileage filly; needs to prove her wellbeing after weakening quickly at Thirsk a fortnight ago but is now 6lb lower than when placed on seasonal debut at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) in April, and won't be bothered by the forecast rain (gained her 2yo win on soft ground).

He's raced four times this season and has suffered heavy defeats on three occasions, but two starts ago he easily made all at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) and it might be dangerous to write him off.

Left his first three handicap efforts behind when making all with ease over 1m4f at Catterick (good to firm) 13 days ago, proving well suited by the significant step up in trip; an extra 2f ought to be within range on that evidence, although this is a much stiffer track.
