Two-time course winner, including over this trip, but yet to win off a mark this high; a slow start didn't help when sixth of nine at Wolverhampton last month; others preferred for win purposes.

Second to an in-form subsequent winner over C&D (good to firm) last month and again ran well when close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) nine days ago; remains on a workable mark; must be considered.

Still seeking a first handicap success but he's well treated on his 2024 best and there have been promising signs for Ruth Carr this year; one of the likelier types.

Not had much racing since winning at Redcar (6f, heavy) in 2022; edging down the weights and the return to 6f should be in his favour; could well come good soon.

Difficult to recommend judged on last five starts, in which he's beaten very few opponents; supporters will cling to the hope that blinkers (replacing a visor) will help and that his two successes have come at Catterick.

Not quite matched her maiden/novice form for William Haggas in three handicap runs for new stable; edging down the weights and Warren Fentiman takes off a handy 5lb so she can't be discounted; best RPR came on her only previous AW start (7f, Tapeta).

Form & Verdict
Form has taken off in recent weeks, winning fast-ground 5f handicaps at Hamilton and Musselburgh either side of a C&D success; winning streak came to an end at Hamilton on Wednesday but it was still an improved effort against another thriving rival; leading contender back down into a Class 5.

Form & Verdict
Style of racing can leave her a hostage to fortune but her latest run, when she was on the bridle and looking for room for the final 2f, was especially painful viewing; Faye McManoman takes over in the saddle today; she's well up to winning races off this mark but 6f remains a slight query.
