3 yo Filly

OR: 78

Form & Verdict
Won in good style in her first two starts (6f/7f) as a 2yo but she's 0-6 since and has finished down the field in her four handicaps; mark is sliding but she had a major blip when tailed off at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last time and others are preferred.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who turned things around when landing a Chester claimer (7.6f, good to firm; first-time blinkers) in June and he's finished placed back in handicaps in last three runs; didn't have an easy time up front when a creditable third at Carlisle (1m, good) last week and he's a key player on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Hold-up performer who missed 2021 but he's ran plenty of good races for his new yard this year including when third at Musselburgh (7f, good) last time; his last success was in 2019 but he remains well treated on his old form and could be a big factor if he gets a decent tow into this race.

No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider.

13yo whose most recent success came at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in November and he ran well when runner-up there when last seen 157 days ago; contender if ready to go on his return.

3 yo Colt

OR: 74

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record and he's been well held at Epsom and York in last two starts but he was an unlucky loser over C&D (good to firm) in June; on same mark here and he looks interesting if he can get back near that level.

Little doubt he has the ability to win races off this mark but his style of racing makes him a hostage to fortune; in form but this isn't sure to be run to suit him ideally either.

J: Kevin Stott

T: David O’Meara

The hood has had a positive effect and he's arguably been an unlucky loser over 7f here the last twice; didn't look to see out this trip in one previous attempt but has been shaping as though worth another try and holds leading claims.

6 yo Gelding

OR: 74

Form & Verdict
Won four times last season, including three over C&D, but he's been disappointing this term and was a well-held seventh at Haydock last time; now 6lb lower than for last success but has something to prove and all of his wins have come on good or slower.
