Form & Verdict
Very useful at his best but it's now 12 starts since his last victory and, not for the first time, he hindered his chance with a tardy start when only 14th in 5.5f York handicap last month; leading form claims if back on song.

Slow-starter; on a dangerous mark but he is without a win since October 2023 and one 7f run didn't see him improve for the trip.

Useful on his day but is on a long losing run and has a doubt over current form; by no means sure to take advantage of a reduced mark.

J: Pierre-Louis Jamin

T: K R Burke

Well beaten at Doncaster on his return but he wasn't well drawn and has a modest record fresh; stepping up to 7f will give him more time to claw back the ground he's likely to forfeit at the start; on a dangerous mark and he's a lively outsider, for all his losing run stretches back to October 2023.

Form & Verdict
In excellent form of late since the cheekpieces went on and he resumed winning ways in 17-runner York handicap (5f) 16 days ago, making all; this is tougher but he's no forlorn hope.

Well handicapped on last year's C&D form for Karl Burke but refused to race in April on final outing for that yard and down the field over C&D on recent stable debut, when again awkward at the start; risks attached.

J: Sam James

T: Craig Lidster

Beaten 16 times since his C&D win in September 2023; has often run well in defeat, including here, but he put a major black mark on his record at Nottingham in April, belatedly leaving the stalls but downing tools and bucking around immediately afterwards; the combination of a subsequent stable switch/wind surgery/change of headgear could all be beneficial and there's no doubt he has the ability to win a race like this; risky but feared.

Form & Verdict
Yet to score this term but she's a reliable sort and followed an unlucky York 5f handicap third (off mark of 93) with a very good third in Ayr Listed event (5.5f, good to soft) four days ago; big shout at these weights.

Has won on good to soft; seen in best light when impressive in a similar race at Pontefract (6f, good to firm) in August; had an off day next time and she lacked the pace to get involved at Ayr since (extended 5f; respectable fourth) but returning to 6f with a stiff finish can suit; solid.

Never better than when coming clear for 6f Listed win at Pontefract in August (good to firm; Rage Of Bamby over 4l back in fourth) but she was a different filly when dropping right out at York since (6f, good to soft; had won a big handicap on that ground in June); needs quick about-face.

Enjoying a good season and followed up an all-the-way C&D win in June (on soft ground) with a good fourth of eight in 5f Doncaster handicap following month; this demands more but he's still much respected after a break.

Off the mark (11th attempt) when overcoming a wide draw at Kempton (7f classified) in February and he returned from a break with a close third at Chester (7.6f, good) last Friday; that was a bold bid from the front and he's a key player on this drop back in trip and grade.
