String of good efforts to her name this year, winning at Carlisle in June off 6lb lower; should be able to lead in this field and not dismissed lightly.

Princess Karine

9st 7lb

J: Harrison Shaw

T: Bryan Smart

Ran out an easy winner in a small-field soft-ground handicap at Pontefract last spring but the handicapper took umbrage and she's found it tough going since; may have needed January's return to action but she still carries risk despite her much-reduced mark.

Form & Verdict
Two C&D wins this summer on good ground; she's come up short in Class 2 company the last twice but holds solid claims back down in class; rain won't hurt.

Record of 0-9 this season but she's much better off with Jannas Journey on C&D running four starts ago; successful off higher marks in this race for the last two years; very attractively weighted and warrants respect.

Soft-ground winner who is below her last winning mark and ran some pretty good races in defeat last month; however, she made it 0-8 for the year when finishing last here (7f, soft) last week and has to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Got up late to beat Princess Karine at Carlisle in May (5f, good to firm) and she's 1lb lower today; mixed bag since then and not sure this small-field scenario over a fast 5f will see him to best effect.

Prolific winner down the years, adding two AW handicaps to his haul in February; arrives in good form but he was no match for Imperial Guard here last week and the turnaround in the weights may be insufficient.

Safely held on consecutive 6f starts this spring but placed twice since returned to 7f, latterly in C&D (good) contest won by Jkr Cobbler three weeks ago; 2lb higher today but probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
He's dropped down the weights this year while leaving the impression that all his ability is intact; whether he'll get a strong enough pace to aim at in this field a moot point.
