Placed off today's mark at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) last month and also suited by this C&D but had to settle for fifth when back at Beverley on Tuesday and some of the unexposed 3yos in this line-up look much more interesting; visored last time; usual cheekpieces back on today.

Campaigned mostly over middle distances and she's a dual 1m2f winner at Beverley; placed over C&D on penultimate start but the ground was on the slow side; others preferred.

Close third at Beverley (8.5f) 11 days ago and she's won twice there at 1m2f, but her record at 1m3f-1m4f (six races) is less convincing.

Form & Verdict
All three wins have been here on fast ground and only 2lb higher than for the latest last August when making all in the new cheekpieces; below par with and without those aids on his last two runs (Ayr/Doncaster); needs a second look back here.

Arrives on a hat-trick after successes (around 1m) in handicaps at Carlisle and Beverley last month; up 4lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Record here reads 11128 and he arrives in form having won over a similarly stiff 1m at Carlisle 12 days ago; has struggled when running in better than 0-65 company but there can't be any complaints about a 1lb rise.

J: Joanna Mason

T: Michael & David Easterby

Yet to win away from Beverley (3-5 there; 7.5f-1m2f); started the season positively when runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good) in May but hasn't kicked on from that and is slowly easing in the weights; these drying conditions should suit and the drop back in trip is worth exploring.

His five wins include one over C&D last May; below his best on his first two starts this year but took a step back in the right direction when a 2l fifth of 12 at Ripon (1m2f, good) 19 days ago; contender.

Five-time winner, three times at around 1m2f (good/good to firm) last summer; well handicapped on his best form last season but he's been quiet in two runs this spring and needs to rediscover his spark.

T: John Wainwright

Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck.

Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground and finished second in this on her first start of 2023; 0-10 since her last win in July, however, and she was 50-1 when suffering big defeat on her reappearance in this race last year; nothing wrong with this mark if she is ready to roll.

Won four times over 1m2f last year on turf; the winter didn't go well but back in the groove now and deserved his narrow win at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm); only 1lb higher.
