Form & Verdict
Won a 9.4f AW handicap last year for Archie Watson; appeared to be going nowhere for current yard until 50-1 win at Redcar (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; did have the run of things but he'd come down the weights and a 3lb rise could be manageable.

Four wins in 2024, one of them here (8.3f, good to soft); not at his best at Musselburgh 11 days ago but he's slipped to a good mark and this is uncompetitive; solid candidate.

Form & Verdict
6yo who was having only her 12th career start when bolting up in first-time blinkers here a month ago; 10lb rise found her out back here 20 days ago, albeit back at 7f; this mark looks challenging.

Campaigned mostly at Musselburgh since June 2024 and yet to win away from that venue; last few efforts don't augur well and switching to Redcar is an unknown.

Both of her wins have been at this track, the more recent last month under Alfie Redman over 1m1f, before finishing runner-up on her next start; below her best at Ripon (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but she may well bounce back now returning to this track.

Poor strike-rate of 1-36 but he's in form having made the frame the last twice and he pulled hard last time at Nottingham; perhaps not the ideal ride for a 7lb claimer.
