Off the mark at the fifth attempt when winning a 1m handicap at Doncaster in July; not so good upped to 1m2f back there eight weeks ago; could resume her progress back down in trip.

Unexposed 4yo who is out of a 1m2f Listed winner; solid record in first four starts but she raised her game after a break when justifying favouritism in a handicap here (1m, good to firm) last month; up 5lb but she kept on well for that comfortable success and is open to more progress over this longer trip; big player.

J: Darragh Keenan

Two course wins at 1m; two good efforts for new yard this year but a promising-looking run came to nothing when back over 1m at York last time; still worth a look returned to 7f in his first course run since last summer's win; first-time cheekpieces replace regular visor.

J: George Wood

Two course wins on slower than good, the latest off 2lb lower last September; added a 1m2f success at Lingfield in January and his subsequent modest effort at Nottingham may have been needed after three-months off; more appealing than many.

Back to winning ways on Lingfield's AW (1m2f) in January; his four successes prior to that all came on turf (including 1m here) so he should remain competitive off only 2lb higher if fully primed after three months off.

In fine form since April with four wins at around this trip on good/good to firm and bids for a four-timer from a 3lb higher mark; only seems to do just enough so her winning run may not be over yet; respected.

Combination of a first-time visor and drop to 0-50 classified company enough to see her end a losing run a fortnight ago; win last August came off a stone-higher mark and she's shortlisted now back in the groove.

Dual winner over the extended 1m here; losing run up to 13, but 16lb below her last winning mark and looked unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of six here (1m, good) three weeks ago; stays this far and could go well.

Pounced late to notch his second Yarmouth win (1m, Class 6, good to firm; from 6lb higher) last June; there hasn't been much to draw inspiration from lately, only eighth of 12 at Southwell (1m; 22-1) a month ago.

Hard to predict and has finished down the field in last three runs but he defied this mark over C&D (good to firm) in June; should get a good tow into this race and has possibilities if he can get back near best.

Placed in two of his three bumpers and ran his best race on the Flat when beaten less than 2l into fifth of nine on handicap debut at Bath (1m, good) four weeks ago (winner has gone in again since); 2lb lower but he needs to build on that performance.
