Not beaten far when fourth of eight at Hamilton (5f, good) last month and now 3lb lower; soft ground may not have suited at Ripon a fortnight ago and he's not ruled out each-way.

Previous course winner who was entitled to have needed his comeback from 13 months off on turf recently; shaped well enough there and a 2lb drop sees him get in here on the ceiling mark; one to consider.

Weakened at Musselburgh (5f, good; 5-2 favourite) when last in action 13 months ago; that sharp track (three wins) usually plays to his strengths; even allowing for this easing mark, he has plenty to prove.

6 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Her form has gone the wrong way but she blasted off in front in first-time blinkers (retained) before fading at Thirsk last Friday, and the drop in grade and return to Musselburgh (two wins here) could both be positives.

Her form has gone the wrong way but she's dropped down the weights accordingly and ran well when second at Musselburgh (5f, good) two starts ago; a wide draw excuses her lesser latest effort at Pontefract; has won on soft/good to soft, and in these reapplied cheekpieces, and she's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Back on better ground he returned to form with a narrow win at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) last Friday; that form has already been franked by the placed horses and he's firmly in calculations under a 5lb penalty.

Lightly raced 4yo who is from a family that has done very well for his yard; however, she's shown little thus far, most recently on her handicap and seasonal debut over C&D 12 days ago.

Well beaten in the Portland at Doncaster 12 days ago, having won that 5.6f handicap 12 months earlier; however, she won at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) two starts ago and is fine at 6f and on good/good to firm ground; this front-runner is not discounted in first-time cheekpieces.
