Form & Verdict
Two wins last season included one over C&D and she has hit the ground running since returned to turf last month, winning easily at Redcar (6f, soft) and going down narrowly in a 15-runner contest at Thirsk (6f, soft) despite an 8lb rise; major claims provided the ground doesn't dry out too much.

Gives her all and wasn't beaten far when fourth to Rock Melody over C&D (soft) in August; should be thereabouts again, although she holds no secrets from the handicapper and others appeal more for win purposes.

Very consistent in defeat earlier in the season (on ground ranging from good through to heavy) and she was beaten just over 1l when fourth of six over C&D (good to soft) last time; has won three times over C&D and every chance she'll be in the mix; the blinkers adopted last time are left off.

Form & Verdict
All three wins came on the AW at Southwell last summer and he is 3lb lower than for the latest, but his heavy defeat at Thirsk (6f, soft) 15 days ago after three months off took his record on turf to 0-15; others preferred.

3-39 and not the most consistent, following up his Redcar win (6f, soft) last month with sixth of 15 at Thirsk (6f, soft) 12 days later when around 4l behind Slainte Mhath; needs to bounce back.

Just 3-36, albeit with two of her wins coming over C&D, the latest last September; ran well when third of 15 at Ripon (6f, soft) last time and has at least each-way claims from the same mark.

On a decent mark on the pick of her 2024 form when adding two more wins, most recently when narrowly seeing off May Blossom over C&D (good to soft) last July; she's struggled a bit since, thus the favourable mark, but the return to 6f will suit and regular blinkers are refitted.

Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner who has finished eighth in both starts since returning last month, though his latest Haydock effort (6f, good) was much better than on his reappearance and he has dropped back to the same mark as when winning this race on good to soft last year; interesting.

Flourished since joining Ruth Carr, winning handicaps at Newcastle (twice) and Southwell before completing his four-timer in fine style at Thirsk last week; made all on that occasion but he doesn't have to lead; unpenalised here and holds strong claims of making it 5-5 for William Pyle.

Consistent over 6f-8.5f since last October (record 21332) and beaten a neck in 17-runner contest at Doncaster (7f, soft) nine days ago; should be fine on this stiff track and a 4lb rise for that latest effort is not the end of the world, but she wouldn't want the ground to dry out.
