Form & Verdict
Generally reliable mare who was a close second at Doncaster (5f, good to firm) last month and she didn't get much luck in similar conditions at Beverley last Tuesday; was beaten less than 2l in that race and she's an interesting contender.

Gained her fifth success when winning off this mark at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in July and she was a respectable fourth at Musselburgh last time; 2-2 over C&D and it would be no surprise to see her go well.

Form & Verdict
Recorded his 11th sprint win when landing a Class 5 event at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last Monday; has a 4lb penalty but he remains feasibly treated and is a big player again if this sets up for his closing style.

Course winner who is well treated on his old form but last win was in August 2023 and he's been out of sorts at Thirsk (6f, good) and Beverley (5f, good to firm) in last two runs; has another change of headgear but he needs a big turnaround.

6yo who has won three times this season, including over C&D in June and at Hamilton last month; remains well handicapped on his old form but he didn't shine at Thirsk last time and it would be a worry if the forecast rain arrives (all turf wins have been on good/good to firm).

6 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
11-time winner and her last success was from the front at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago; that was at odds-on in a small field but she still looks feasibly treated off 5lb higher and could make another bold bid back up in grade.

Four-time course winner, most recently off a 15lb higher mark last August; has mostly struggled since but she was sparked up by first-time blinkers when beaten a neck at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) eight days ago; has to be respected off the same mark.

Form & Verdict
Ended last season with a comfortable win at Sandown (5f, good) but he's struggled in two runs for new yard this spring; now only 2lb higher than for his last success but he needs a major revival on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Versatile ground-wise and he won twice over 5f at Pontefract last year, including in his final run last season; probably still has some room to manoeuvre off this 5lb higher mark but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and this is competitive on his return.
