Form & Verdict
60,000gns yearling by Havana Grey; made a promising start when fourth at Wolverhampton last March and he built on that when runner-up at Doncaster (7f, good) later that month; been absent since then but he sets a good standard on his comeback and yard has been firing in winners recently.

J: Jack Nicholls

T: K R Burke

Won Newcastle novice (7f, AW) in March on third start and runner-up in handicaps on last two outings, beaten a neck at Newcastle (7f, AW) then keeping on well behind a progressive winner at Carlisle (6f, good to firm); the return to 7f may well be a positive and he's on the shortlist.

J: Jack Nicholls

T: K R Burke

Unexposed 4yo with a progressive profile; beaten neck when odds-on at Newcastle (7f) last month; usually travels strongly and should be at least as effective back at 6f; still on a workable mark and high on the list.

J: Sam James

T: K R Burke

Won his novice here by 5l and looked on a workable mark for his handicap debut at Wolverhampton but he never travelled after starting slowly; wouldn't judge him on that performance and could be given another chance.

Form & Verdict
8yo mare who has won two points (3m) and a maiden hurdle (2m4f), but she was pulled up on her last run in May and this is a tough task on her belated Flat debut.

J: James Sullivan

T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward

Point and hurdle winner who's had just five Flat races; sixth of 12 in C&D handicap nine days ago was easily her closest Flat finish, so she's unlikely to be 100-1 again this time, but she does need to build on that.

J: Conor Whiteley

T: Samantha & Jacqueline Coward

Winning hurdler for Jacqueline Coward; brought along steadily in this sphere for Michael and David Easterby, coming in a never-dangerous 11th in 7f Thirsk maiden in April; has rejoined former yard and not discounted now going handicapping over this much longer distance.
