J: Jason Hart

T: Charlie Johnston

Won handicaps at Leicester (1m4f, good) and Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) in the spring but he's failed to beat a rival in last two starts; bit to prove but he got shuffled back in a tactical race at Chester last time and has possibilities if he can bounce back.

Low-mileage 3yo who has won two handicaps (1m4f/1m6f) on turf this season but his form nosedived at Carlisle 17 days ago; still unexposed at this trip but he comes with risks attached after that heavy defeat.

8st 9lb

J: Connor Beasley

T: Charlie Johnston

He has been doing well since being gelded and tackling handicaps on a sound surface, winning four-runner event at Leicester (1m4f) and three-runner race at Redcar (1m6f); far from disgraced in a Class 2 at Doncaster last time, bringing this year's form figures to 21213; not fully exposed and likely capable of better yet.

Form & Verdict
3-3 in AW handicaps but record on turf reads 009; made all on his penultimate start and could be interesting if similar tactics are employed, but his suitability to grass remains an issue.

J: Richie McLernon

Won three in a row on AW (1m2f/1m4f) in February and he was a creditable second when upped to 1m6f in a Redcar handicap (good to firm) last month; takes on two previous winners on this hurdling debut but he has some fair form on the Flat and he's not ruled out.

Tailed off in two turf races on good last July; firmly on the up in AW handicaps when last seen, registering a quickfire hat-trick in February and last two starts were at 1m4f (made all last time); absent since and this is a much more competitive contest for his return to turf.

Form & Verdict
Unplaced in six starts and unraced beyond 1m2f; usually held up in her races but not sure if this will pan out ideally for her; blinkers return.

Came away with the favourite when second over 1m4f here last month but dropped away disappointingly last time; the ability is there to win a race (0-11) if taking the new visor that replaces blinkers.

Started handicap life on an unrealistic mark but has found her level now, coming away with the favourite under a canny ride at Catterick a few weeks ago; that was the first time she'd made the running and she's considered upped a fair 2lb.
