Form & Verdict
Decisive winner from Morningside over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago; it was a step up from her previous efforts and she has to prove it wasn't a one-off, but she's a strong contender up 5lb if repeating that latest form.

Form & Verdict
He has a patchy profile but ran well when second to Skyhill over C&D (soft) two starts ago and the drop back to 2m3f may not have suited when soundly beaten at Catterick last time; not ruled out now back up in trip.

Inconsistent last season and this is more competitive than the four-runner handicap he won at Kelso (2m7f, heavy) a fortnight ago; has to back up that performance but he went close over this C&D (good to soft) last April and is entitled to respect back up just 3lb.
