Form & Verdict
Scored in refitted cheekpieces at Ripon (5f, good) in May and today's 2lb higher mark is manageable but this year's form is very mixed; well down the field at Haydock on Sunday and not an easy one to predict here.

Form & Verdict
Displayed significant promise on both 2yo starts in Ireland but returned from long absence with two disappointing AW runs for John Mackie in late 2021, most recently when last of 13 on handicap debut; back from another layoff for new trainer here; big leap of faith needed to support her.

Form & Verdict
Probably better known for his AW exploits but opened turf account with pretty convincing success at Brighton (6f, good to firm) a week ago, for which he has a 5lb penalty here; only due to go up 3lb but can cope with today's drop back to 5f and is evidently in good heart.

Latest of his 11 wins came at Lingfield (6f, AW) in January and he went close at Wolverhampton next time; fair effort over 6f at Lingfield 36 days ago but this slight drop back in trip probably isn't ideal.

Form & Verdict
Effectively lost all chance when starting very slowly at Leicester on Sunday but was in good form beforehand, notably when gaining breakthrough win at Yarmouth (5f, soft) in late June; also suited by fast ground; can make his presence felt.

Yarmouth win (5f, soft) for Mick Appleby last summer was his only success in 31 starts; showed a little bit in a couple of outings for this yard in January, but comfortably held in a 0-50 classified event at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) last time; has bled from the nose on more than one occasion.

Has won just one of his 30 starts but has been a fair fifth in handicaps the last twice, over C&D most recently, and that form reads pretty well now dropped into a 0-50 classified; could be involved.

Admirable 8yo who has won four of his last five starts and was as good as ever when making all for a clearcut win at Leicester (5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; a 6lb rise for that success looks fair and he's a big player again in his bid for a four-timer.
