J: James Sullivan

T: Ruth Carr

Kicked off the season with back-to-back 5f wins at Wolverhampton and Pontefract before being run down by Vince L'Amour over C&D (Hurt You Never third) next time; nowhere near those same levels at Pontefract (ninth of ten) latest, so needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
C&D scorer who signed off for 2024 with a good second in 5f Southwell handicap in September; yard is going well so needs considering despite an eight-month absence.

Form & Verdict
It's now 11 outings since his last victory but he comes here in decent nick, blinkered when fourth of eight in 5f Hamilton handicap eight days ago; he ought to be thereabouts.

Finds his one race a year, which in 2024 was a C&D 0-70 off 3lb higher (good to firm) on his sole previous course visit; unable to race as prominently as preferred at York latest, and back in calmer waters here.

On a lengthy losing sequence but she has returned in excellent form, suffering a poor run when a close sixth of 15 to Irish Dancer over C&D 12 days ago; big shout off an unchanged mark.

Two of her three wins have come at Beverley (5f, good to firm/soft) and she has dropped back below her last winning mark; ran well on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; third) but had no in-running luck at Beverley subsequently; isn't a forlorn hope.
