Form & Verdict
Won at Newcastle (5f, AW) in February and he's been a good third on turf on his two starts since (5f/6f, soft); needs to transfer that improved form back to faster ground; in the mix if he can.

J: Oisin Orr

T: Lucinda Russell

He's fully 14lb lower than when winning at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last June but hasn't been shaping of late as though he's about to capitalise on his reduced mark; soundly beaten fourth here (6f, good) last time.

Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed.

Form & Verdict
Fourth of 15 at Haydock (6f, soft) last month and another fair run when close fourth of seven to Mr Irrelevant (now penalised) over this C&D (good) ten days ago; unraced on fast ground; could be thereabouts.

Has a useful strike-rate on the AW but just 1-18 on turf; suffered some interference over C&D on his latest 6f start in July but he looks to have his share of weight relative to the company he keeps today.

Form & Verdict
Won two in a row in first part of the spring (6f, soft/good to soft) and bounced back from York flop (7f, good to soft) with short-head win over this C&D (good) ten days ago; showed promise on fast ground last season; carries 6lb penalty today but he's clearly progressive; has to be respected.

Return to 7f backfired last weekend when bidding for a hat-trick; has form figures of 32211 over 6f, the wins gained at Ripon (soft) and Doncaster (good to soft); remains of interest, back down in trip.

Progressing well this season, winning 6f handicaps at Ripon (soft) and Doncaster (good to soft) on last two starts; 5lb higher than last time (up 11lb in total); a chance, although below par on his only go at 7f.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when making all in small field at Pontefract (6f, soft) last month; also effective on good/good to firm; judged on previous evidence he may struggled to deal with a 6lb rise but he did it in good style last time and it may have given his confidence a boost.

Form & Verdict
Looked promising in novice races last summer; hasn't threatened in handicaps this year, the most recent at Thirsk last Friday, but connections won this last year with one returning to form in first-time blinkers, so this fellow is worth a second look with such headgear being applied today.

He went desperately close at Newcastle (6f) in December off a 6lb higher mark; well beaten since and unseated his rider having reared as the stalls opened (not for the first time) at Southwell 18 days ago; capable but too risky for comfort.

Form & Verdict
Has an attractive pedigree and she's 2-2 (6f/7f, AW), with the form of her latest win in Kempton novice three weeks ago having been boosted by the placed horses; makes turf debut; has potential off her opening mark.
