Notched her third Catterick win, fending off Moostar there (6f, good; from 2lb lower) in early April; dropped back to 5f, she has twice finished fourth since, beaten nearly 7l at Carlisle over a fortnight ago; rain would be no major concern, but others appeal more.

W: 9st 9lb

8 yo Gelding

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
His losing sequence continues and he wasn't quite at his best when seventh of 14 at Doncaster (5f, good) ten days ago; however, he wasn't beaten far and is back down in grade today; prior to last time he was placed on three runs in a row (5f, good to firm-soft); may be in the mix.

Two turf wins this year (5f, soft/good to soft; has also won on good ground), the latest over C&D in July; now 3-8 here; has continued in good form at Newcastle (5f/6f, AW) the last twice; plenty to like about her claims.

Form & Verdict
His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up.

Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers.

Form & Verdict
Just 1-22 on turf as opposed to 5-20 on AW but there have been several positive performances on grass this year (including here); the race wasn't run to suit when fifth at Ayr last Thursday and he's an each-way possible.

Can lead; on a tempting mark relative to past turf form but he's 0-7 on the AW and has been well beaten since only just failing against Arlington over C&D in January; couldn't count on refitted blinkers, replacing a visor, returning him to form.

Triple turf winner who is 0-6 on AW surfaces; went close over C&D on his penultimate start (first-time tongue-tie and visor combination) but was well beaten without the visor back here latest; visor now returns but hard to be confident of another better effort.

Three turf wins for previous yard; 0-4 for current stable but went very close in visor over C&D most recently; possibilities, provided he's in similar form with the headgear removed.
