Form & Verdict
Well backed and showed plenty of improvement on second start to win claimer at Beverley (5f, good) ten days ago, leading near finish; open to further progress and his rider's 7lb allowance helps offset his penalty.

Made encouraging seasonal debut when fourth of 13 over C&D (good to soft) last month and had some excuses when below that form over 5f at Beverley 24 days ago (suffered interference in first half of race); on a good mark now and enters calculations.

Won a C&D claimer on his second start as a 2yo last May (good); three good runs in nurseries after that; finished in front of a couple of today's rivals when a creditable fourth at Ripon on reappearance (6f, good to soft); interesting back at 5f.

J: Joanna Mason

T: Michael & David Easterby

Won a 5f claimer at Beverley on his second start (last May) and he hit the frame in his first three nursery runs; failed to fire on the slowest ground he had tackled when last seen; needs to have improved over the winter if he is to make a winning return.

Form & Verdict
Easily best of three runs came when second over C&D, but that was in a three-runner race and the form could be dubious; had no obvious excuses when well held at Hamilton ten days ago; others have more solid claims.

Form & Verdict
Wayward on debut, faded on second start; plenty to find with several of these but the drop back from 6f to 5f may help and it's still early days for him; stablemate of Kodigara.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Showed a glimmer of ability on first two starts and shaped better than the result when third to Head For Freedom in claimer at Beverley (5f, good; had to wait for a gap) last time; better off with that rival at today's weights; still has some potential and should be in the thick of things.

Runner-up on debut at Ripon (5f, good) before finding Listed company at York's Dante meeting (22-1) too demanding; remains open to improvement and she has a similar profile to Invincible Annice who won this race for the same connections 12 months ago; leading contender.

Nice attitude when making all in a Musselburgh seller (5f, good; 8-13 favourite) in June; given a three-month break thereafter but failed to shine (bumped at the start) on nursery debut at Pontefract (6f; 8-1); now 3lb lower, with a 5lb claimer booked; AW debut; still early days.

Runner-up here and at Thirsk on first two starts and wasn't disgraced considering she was hampered late on when fourth of nine at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) two weeks ago; now wears cheekpieces as well as a tongue-strap; unlikely to be far away.

Two 5f AW wins early in the year, the second of them by a wide margin at Lingfield; the handicapper has won the battle since and she was down the field returned to turf at Windsor three weeks ago; mark more realistic again now but she will need more to take this.

Pacy filly who registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing in her next three runs but she got back on track with a front-running third at Wolverhampton (6f) 13 days ago; has already had 21 runs during her career but she has plenty of form on turf and could make a bold bid back in trip.

Pacy filly; registered back-to-back wins at Southwell and Lingfield (both 5f) earlier this year; disappointing from higher marks since - held up the last twice; the handicapper is cutting her some slack now and she'd be a threat if able to blaze the trail from her wide draw.
