J: Joanna Mason

T: Michael & David Easterby

Landed a pair of 1m2f handicaps at Pontefract in June; not disgraced both runs since, coming in a close sixth of nine at Newcastle (1m2f) 13 days ago; this C&D winner is not out of things in a refitted tongue-strap.

J: Billy Garritty

T: Michael & David Easterby

Took advantage of a reduced mark when bagging his first two starts of the term (Pontefract; 1m2f, good) but couldn't complete the hat-trick when last of three at Newmarket four weeks ago; 0-6 on the AW.

9st 12lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Michael & David Easterby

All five victories have come over a stiff 1m2f so he has that in his favour, including two round Pontefract in June; never won off a mark this high, though, and an 8lb rise for a wide-margin success in an amateurs' handicap last time will test him.

10st 2lb

J: Joanna Mason

T: Michael & David Easterby

Scored by 7l under a very promising amateur rider last time, completing a Pontefract double (1m2f, good) and taking record this term to 2-2; has won over C&D; surging back up the weights but arrives in great form.

9/4
