Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden but she found improvement on her drop to 5f when a close second of five at Chepstow (good to firm) last week; nudged up 2lb but she pulled clear of the third last time and should have more to offer at this trip; respected.

Had been knocking on the door before holding on well to open account at Leicester (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; 3lb rise demands a bit more here but further progress is possible; well beaten the only previous time cheekpieces were used but that was over 8.3f on soft ground.

Form & Verdict
Went close at Redcar before scoring with cheekpieces added in a Thirsk handicap (5f, good to firm; 11-4) last Friday; a 5lb rise has now kicked in but this lightly raced filly still looks well handicapped on her recent form and this is a drop back in grade; big player.

Had a consistent spell on fast ground in May/June, with Thirsk win flanked by a pair of close seconds; form dipped at Doncaster last month but this 3yo filly, who isn't fully exposed in handicaps, may bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Has already had 19 starts but he added to his 7f win at Wolverhampton last month when overcoming trouble to score in good style at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 11 days ago; up 6lb but that was a personal best last time and he should get a decent tow into this race; respected.

Three of his four wins have been at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) and latest was in January; finished down the field in last two starts but he had an excuse over 6f last time and he could rediscover his spark back up in trip; not ruled out off workable mark.

Won a Lingfield novice (5f, good) on her debut last May, but she's not gone on from that and was a long way below form on her seasonal return at Salisbury last month; mark is falling and now drops into a Class 6 event but she has plenty to prove; hood added.

0-23 and tailed off on her return to turf at Catterick last month; those looking for positives can draw upon the fact that her best turf effort came here, while Silvestre De Sousa is booked and cheekpieces return; still unconvincing though.
