In-form 8yo who recorded a 2l success at Pontefract (1m2f, soft) on Monday, ending two-year losing spell; incurs 4lb penalty but Jack Nicholls takes off useful 5lb; could well remain competitive.

Beverley specialist who hasn't been at the top of her game over 8.4f there on her two starts this season; however, that trip is probably inadequate nowadays and she has a reduced mark to work with back up in trip; has won over C&D and this 9yo is not written off.

Mostly in very good form last autumn/winter but his record this May-July is uninspiring, as is his turf record for over a year now; hooded on last two starts (rider was injured on first occasion) and now tries a visor; way down the weights but hard to trust.
