Form & Verdict
Soft-ground winner at Carlisle (1m1f) last term; steadily finding her form this season and she kept on well when a close fourth here (1m2f) last Monday; this is a different test at this new trip but she has claims if her stamina holds out.

Has modest 2-31 strike-rate but scores good marks for her consistency in recent months, having made the frame five consecutive times (once over C&D); probably won't be far away.

J: Shay Farmer

T: Donald Whillans

Runner-up three times in a row over 1m3f/1m4f on turf this summer and her 1m2f fourth at Ayr was similar form; big shout on that but the problem is that her AW form (six races, including three last autumn) is at a lower level.

Form & Verdict
0-19 but he ran well to finish third at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) last month and built on that with a near-miss in similar conditions at Nottingham last Saturday; only 1lb higher than for that clear second and he seems fairly versatile ground-wise; key player.

A clearcut winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time blinkers) and nearly followed up at Ayr, over 1m5f on good; stays this far and handles slow ground, so has to be considered.

Seemed to benefit from combination of drop back in trip and change of headgear when clearcut winner at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; first-time blinkers) nine days ago; 6lb higher here and too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but the return to turf won't be a problem.

Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick off a similar mark at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April but he's been well held in last two runs; bit to prove again at this new trip and he's 0-10 on turf; yard also runs Cascade Hall.

Versatile 6yo who had form over all sorts of trips last year and just did enough to hold off Ardaddy over C&D one week ago; recent 3lb rise is probably enough to leave him a shade vulnerable, though.

Form & Verdict
Record of 0-12 but he went close here (1m7f) in May and returned to form with a front-running third at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) last month; that wasn't far off his best form and he has claims if he can back that up.

Easily made all here (2m, good) in June and he's run well in third on his last two starts, most recently behind Inappropriate here (2m, good); could give it a good go from the front but this is warmer than he's used to.

5yo who is still a maiden after 12 starts but he went close at Catterick (1m6f, good to soft) in May and didn't get much luck when a close seventh at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) last time; seems to have found his level recently and has possibilities back up in trip.

He lacks a recent outing and was inconsistent last year but reappears on a competitive mark and his trainer won this last year; ran well last May on his sole previous visit to Catterick and could have a part to play.
