Form & Verdict
Took advantage of a drop in the weights when regaining winning form at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) last time; more needed off 5lb higher and though she won on good to soft on her debut, anything softer would pose a question.

T: Jessica Macey

She was returning from a five-month break when finishing in midfield at Doncaster 13 days ago (5f, good to soft), a race where she tired in the final furlong but still did best of the far-side group; two wins and two seconds from her six C&D runs and she has solid claims off a fair mark.

Form & Verdict
Has improved for the fitting of cheekpieces and was dropping to 5f for the first time when off the mark at the eighth attempt at Catterick (good to soft) last month; still has to prove himself on soft ground but seems to be going the right away and respected off 3lb higher.

Ended last season with two down-the-field sprint runs and ought to have coped a bit better with the heavy ground when struggling here (6f) four weeks ago; this return to 7f won't be a problem but the cheekpieces (worn for his only win) are missing again and he has a lot more to prove than some.

Down the field on final two runs last season but he won here (5f, good to soft) last July and is also effective over 6f and on soft ground; this lightly raced 4yo can be involved if returning to form on his reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Impressive when getting off the mark at the sixth attempt at Nottingham (5f, soft) in May but raised 10lb for that and, although not disgraced, was only fourth of 11 over the same C&D (soft) last month; conditions should suit but only 1lb lower than last time so he needs to find a bit more.

C&D winner who also finished third in this last year; has been in good nick since the visor went on, winning a classified at Southwell and Newcastle (February/March) and placed in three handicaps (also 5f, AW) subsequently; can take a grip so today's likely good pace will suit and he gets on well with Conor Whiteley; player.

Highly tried as a 2yo (Listed placed) and gradually working her way back into form in handicaps since returning in the spring, finishing second of 13 at York (5.4f, good to soft) eight days ago; only 1lb higher and won't mind if the ground eases further; high on the list.

Form & Verdict
Gelded prior to making a successful return/handicap debut at Catterick (5f, soft) in April, but last of 18 in a warmer contest at York (5f, good to firm) the following month; off 78 days since and although the likely soft ground would be a positive, he does still have something to prove.

Poor strike-rate and down the field in two runs back on turf this spring; latest Catterick effort easy to forgive though as he got it wrong at the start and then saw no daylight in the home straight, finishing with running left in him; this should be run to suit and he's handicapped to go well.
