Form & Verdict
Usually ridden by Archie Young, including for the two front-running 1m4f wins at Hamilton in her last four starts; the first win was on soft ground but she was well beaten with that same trip/ground there on latest outing; mixed messages and needs a personal best.

Front-running C&D wins in two of her last three starts, readily accounting for her rivals eight days ago; suspicion she'll need more to defy a penalty in a race featuring other recent winners.

Form & Verdict
Last won in April 2022 but she's been placed on most starts this season, runner-up over 2m on latest; chief worry is the lack of impact in her four races on soft ground.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up on this card last year (1m4f, soft) on his only run at Catterick and 1m5f with heavy ground at Ayr nine days ago saw him register his second win from 27 races, going on 6f out; back up 2lb but respected, with this first attempt beyond 1m5f looking a viable option.

Four of his five wins have come in the autumn, latterly at his beloved Ayr early last month; has never been the most consistent, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him bounce back from his latest blowout, but others seem more likely.

Moving up to 1m4f with cheekpieces and tongue-tie worked well last winter on AW; off since March and more to prove on turf, although he does have soft-ground form; also a new trip; interesting if strong in the betting.

Won two in a row over 1m4f (soft/heavy) in April, the second of them at this track when the first two finished miles clear; two backward steps since, with six months off in between, but looks very interesting if judged on that second win.

Standing dish at this track, having won four times (1m4f) from 12 appearances on Flat, plus a hurdles win; goes well on soft and some of his 1m6f form, including a close call this June, also puts him in the picture.
