Six-time winner and winner of two handicaps at this track last year; 12lb below last winning mark; poor runs here in the spring and never featured in three turf starts this year; others appeal more. |

No win since June 2022; lost form for Shark Hanlon last year and no sign of revival on debut for this stable over 1m here last month, though that run may have been needed; hard to fancy and mark due to drop another 7lb. |

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine. |

Both of her wins have been at this track, the more recent last month under Alfie Redman over 1m1f, before finishing runner-up on her next start; below her best at Ripon (1m2f, good to firm) ten days ago but she may well bounce back now returning to this track. |

Four-time course winner; best recent form at 6f but has wins over this trip; while capable from this mark, he seems to have lost his way of late and drawn wider than ideal. |

Verdict
Course winner THE BOG BANK should give another good account. Her winning run came to an end when bidding for a hat-trick last time but she can bounce back with a better draw here. Scarriff could be the main danger after a promising handicap debut last time and What Adaay may get involved if she can build on a recent narrow defeat. [Phill Anderson]
