J: P J McDonald

T: John & Thady Gosden

Needed her debut outing at Newmarket's Craven meeting in April; made all at Yarmouth (7f) and Newcastle (6f, AW) since; bare form of latest win isn't entirely compelling but she ran to a useful figure the time before; still open to further progress; respected.

made all, took keen hold, edged right soon after start, against near rail from over 4f out, increased tempo from under 2f out, ridden inside final furlong, always doing enough

Only modest in bumpers but he has shown fair form to make the frame twice at Southwell, finishing fourth of 13 in 7f maiden 15 days ago; looks the one to chase Shining Al Danah home.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Tom Tate

Never involved in a Class 4 at York last time but this veteran was in good form before that, including a win at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) and three seconds; still looks on a workable mark and he has possibilities on this drop back in grade.

Plucky veteran who retains plenty of vim and vigour, another fine run when second in amateurs' race at Doncaster last time; 3lb out of the weights but has finished third in the last two runnings of this event and has each-way possibilities once more.

J: Jason Hart

T: Tristan Davidson

Acts on good to firm and soft; nine-time winner who scored by 4l at Catterick two weeks ago but was disappointing under a penalty there last Wednesday; up another 4lb, but he was as good as ever on his penultimate run and is a player if he can recapture that form.

Failed to beat a rival home at Thirsk (5f, good) but he's won over this C&D either side of that, including when coming 4l clear nine days ago; looks well treated under a 4lb penalty but this is a step up in class.

Wins his share and he got off the mark for the year over C&D last month; well held at Thirsk three days ago but in a Class 4; this should be more suitable.
