10st 13lb |
Reliable 9yo who won at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in November and ran respectably on most recent start when a 13l fourth of nine here (2m6f, good; reapplied visor, retained) in June, shaping as though she'd be worth a try over this longer trip; needs considering off 2lb lower. |

Did pretty well to score at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in November, having been hampered by You Some Girl's penultimate-flight fall, and is only 2lb higher here; also suited by good ground but has a point to prove after last month's poor Flat run. |

Fair runs in defeat at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) and Hexham (2m, soft) the last twice and has each-way possibilities on that form; however, this longer trip isn't guaranteed to suit and he's 0-14 under rules. |

Tailed off at Market Rasen in November and same story at Catterick last month on her sole run since; however, she may have needed that latest outing and runs off the same mark as for her win at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in September; yard's horses are running well and she's not discounted. |

Ten-race rules maiden who hasn't been at his best the last twice and could perhaps do with a step back up in trip; however, he continues to drop down the weights and may have a part to play in this weak race. |

0-8 over hurdles but he ran some respectable races last August-November and soft ground may not have suited at Wetherby last month when back from a break; edging down the weights and could be a contender. |

Failed to win for Dan Skelton and went the wrong way after showing early promise; new trainer has got her back on track with a couple of point wins, latterly accounting for The New Kid (3m, good to soft); highly questionable whether that form will see her competitive here. |
