Form & Verdict
Two wins came over 6f and has done most racing at that trip but has plenty of toe and was able to lead when down to 5f latest; fairly treated, off the same mark as for that Newmarket second, and one of the likelier winners.

Nothing like the force of old but rediscovered some form and ran well from the front when close third in Nottingham classified (5f, good to firm) last month; has possibilities if in similar mood again here.

Still capable of running up to high-80s RPRs just two years ago, but has offered nothing in two outings this term and remains winless around anywhere as galloping as Nottingham; cheekpieces return.

J: Saffie Osborne

His last win was in April 2024, which is probably the bottom line; three wins and five seconds from 12 races at Windsor also catches the eye but he was a soundly beaten last at Leicester on reappearance three weeks ago.

Form & Verdict
Three-time Polytrack winner in the spring who's come back to form lately, not least when going close from a stone out of the handicap at Goodwood last week; will be punished for that in due course and holds leading claims back at this level.

Has tended to be kept away from fast ground but won on good to firm here last summer (finished second on his only other course visit); is one to consider for a yard also responsible for Boom The Groom.

Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) under Tom Kiely-Marshall in May; not in the same form when last of five at Nottingham (6f again) since but he's bagged the inside stall on his first Beverley visit and is capable of bouncing back.

Admirable 8yo who recorded his 11th win when surging clear on his reappearance at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last month; has a 10lb rise to deal with but he still looks on a workable mark and his last four wins have come under Tom Kiely-Marshall; key player.

Form & Verdict
Can blow the start and needs to bounce back from a quiet one last time; there's not much wiggle room off this mark anyway and it's no surprise to see a 7lb claimer, who rode his first winner last weekend, up.

Catterick win, when clear with an improver, has worked out well and she was back to that sort of level when making all in a small field at Newmarket last time; 3lb rise demands more again but she's on the shortlist.

Won at Nottingham (5f) on her debut in June 2021 but she's 0-9 since and was well held in her final three runs last season; mark is falling but has something to prove after 193 days off and others are more persuasive; acts on good to firm/good to soft.
