Form & Verdict
Took this contest in 2022 and she teed herself up well for a repeat when a never-nearer fifth of nine in 7f Ayr handicap 18 days ago; this multiple C&D scorer merits serious consideration.

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.

Dual 6f winner off higher marks last season; stays 7f well enough but signed off with two down-the-field runs in October and does not have a compelling record when fresh.

Got off the mark at Ayr (6f) last September but she came in only ninth of 12 in 6f Haydock handicap 20 days ago; she's the sort to bounce back though.

Form & Verdict
C&D scorer last spring for Kevin Ryan; lightly raced since but he got back on track for his current yard when fourth of 16 in 6f Doncaster handicap 20 days ago; he's one for the shortlist off an easing mark.

Well backed when fifth over C&D in September, after which he had a wind op; low-key run here 11 days ago and not solid despite an attractive mark.

C&D win last summer came off just 1lb lower; well suited by coming from off a strong pace and that isn't guaranteed here; more promise at Pontefract last month though and he appeals as one who'll be winning soon.

Favourable mark on the pick of last season's best and his recent return to action at Ripon should have sharpened him up; can get going too late though and others are preferred today.

Given a real chance by the handicapper but he's stuck on a losing run and was under pressure a long way out when well held at Windsor (5f, heavy) last time; others preferred.

Has left his mark in much better races than this and although on a long losing run he's been given a real chance by the handicapper; might have needed his latest run after a break and the return to soft ground will suit; not ruled out.
