Former sprinter who's not as good now and has become inconsistent; no problem with an easy, turning 7f when winning on turf in August but this is the first time he's been 1m and his stamina will be tested over a straight course.

0-16 and this inconsistent 4yo isn't guaranteed to back up last Saturday's very close third in a Redcar classified (5f, good to firm); however, she'll be in the shake-up if reproducing that form in first-time headgear.

Front-runner; made all at Ripon (5f, good) in June off a 6lb lower mark than today; below form since being beaten a neck at Musselburgh last month; needs first-time visor to spark her back up but she has run well in cheekpieces in the past.

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.

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.
