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.

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.

Prolific winner down the years, including over C&D last summer, who's regressed sharply in recent times; a few years since she ran at this low a level and that should help, but it will largely hinge on how she responds to wearing headgear for the first time.

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.
