Form & Verdict
Dual Tapeta winner (5f/6f), who returned to form with a bold bid on AW at Southwell (runner-up over 6f) on Friday; has record of 0-18 on turf but she has run up to her best in this sphere and is on the same mark as last time; respected back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Showed some ability on his third start when 5l third of three in Catterick novice (6f, good to firm; 66-1) last month; this is more realistic on handicap debut but not sure this drop to 5f will suit on pedigree and others are more persuasive.

Joined Tim Easterby before a good second at Catterick on last spring's reappearance and went on to win two 6f handicaps at that track in August/September; he will need to be cherry ripe to defy this mark on his return though and the blinkers worn to victory are now replaced with cheekpieces.

J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

2-5 since blinkers went on in August, both wins over 6f on good ground at Catterick; held in fifth at Ripon last time but he didn't get the best of runs and wasn't far behind Flowstate; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this mark and he's on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Has claims on his best form but he's an inconsistent nine-race maiden who was disappointing as favourite at Ayr (5f, good) three weeks ago; needs to bounce back again after that and others are more convincing.

Inconsistent ten-race maiden but he was a creditable third under a positive ride at Ripon (5f, good to soft) two weeks ago; switches back to quicker conditions but he's 1lb lower than last time and has claims if he can back that up.

Form & Verdict
Brother to the useful sprinter Nomadic Empire; best effort from five attempts when third of eight at Hamilton (5f, good to firm; hooded) two weeks ago, racing freely in front; that was behind a major improver and he's a big player if he can settle a bit better this time.

Form & Verdict
11-race maiden but she was well-backed favourite at Leicester (5f, good to firm) in June and was only narrowly denied in a tight-three-way finish; up 2lb but she pulled 5l clear of the fourth last time and that was a personal best; key player back from a short break.
