Her form has been mixed this season and she was soundly beaten at Carlisle last time; however, she's running at Hamilton for the first time this year and nine of her 11 wins have come over C&D; she's 10lb lower than when winning here last August and could bounce back with a bold show.

Eleven turf wins, mostly at Hamilton but once over C&D, on ground ranging from soft to good to firm; weighted to find another race and will be suited by returning to a track with a stiff finish following her persevering fourth at Ayr 13 days ago; thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
Two 6f wins on good ground last year; slow start to this campaign but he's tumbling down the weights and his latest third of eight at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) was better; runner-up in two of his three runs at Hamilton; each-way contender.

String of solid efforts for Ethan Tindall, including two wins, in the past nine months; on a career-high mark, having been nudged up another 2lb, but there was nothing wrong with his comeback effort at Pontefract early last month (5f); has to be considered.

Form & Verdict
A win, on debut, and two seconds from his first three starts but things have been more challenging since handicapping; that said, his reappearance over 5f at Catterick 12 days ago was promising with a view to returning to this trip; dropped 2lb too; yard in form; big player.

Yet to find his best form for current stable but he's dropped to a tempting mark and he had an excuse at Catterick last time (wide trip); his last win came over C&D on good so conditions won't be an excuse; considered.

Form & Verdict
Gained his first turf success over C&D one year ago when rated 7lb higher; had wind surgery (his second) before returning to action last month but neither run this year, including last week's C&D seventh, suggested he was primed to strike; blinkers now given a go.

Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed.

Form & Verdict
He had slipped down the weights prior to his good second at Ayr (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago, keeping on well behind one that was way ahead of her mark; he was strong in the market that day too which was encouraging; up 3lb but still has plenty of handicapping scope; probably wouldn't want it slower than good.

Front-runner who was admirably consistent in the second half of last year and reappeared with a good second at Newcastle in March; however, after a lesser run at Thirsk he was beaten a long way at Redcar only 16 days ago, and needs to leave that latest performance miles behind.

Front-runner; came second at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March and ran well until weakening into fifth at Thirsk (1m, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month but, off current mark and over this trip, his chance is probably reliant on an uncontested lead.

Just two wins from 31 starts but this front-runner often runs well and he was a close second on his reappearance at Newcastle (7f, AW) in March; had to work hard early to lead from wide draw at Thirsk (1m, good) last time so that fifth of 13 was a creditable performance; he's one to consider.
