Form & Verdict
Has plenty of form at Catterick, most recently third of 14 in 1m6f event one month ago; filled same position in this contest last year; major player in this weak field, for all that he's on a two-year losing spell and only 1-32 on turf.

1m6f course winner; not quite at his best here last time, having raced freely when second over C&D prior to that; a similar effort to that penultimate start would give him claims.

J: Connor Beasley

Has a good record here and was third in this last year; won here (1m6f, good to soft) this May and runner-up over today's C&D (soft) last time; seems versatile ground-wise; could play a leading role.

Form & Verdict
In-form mare who ties in with Lord Torranaga on C&D running last month (hampered, better than bare result); placed at Ripon since; won off 5lb higher here last term; record of 2-18 on turf is better than these rivals have managed; clear possibilities in a weak race.

Won at Hamilton (1m4f) in June when returning from a 227-day break and beaten less than 3l when fourth to Sea Master there (1m5f, also good) next time; not in the same form subsequently but might do better back from her winter break.

Form & Verdict
Longstanding maiden whose overall form (Flat/hurdles) has largely deteriorated; sold for 4,200gns from Irish yard last month; makes debut for trainer who also runs in-form Sugarpiehoneybunch.

0-31 over hurdles and 0-51 overall; has shown some bits and bobs of form this season and is suited by this C&D but still makes only limited appeal from 5lb out of the weights.

Form & Verdict
Stablemate of Lord Torranaga; record of 4-20 on AW compared to just 1-15 on grass; below par at Beverley two days ago on her return to this sphere; may fare better in this weaker contest.
