Cracking servant to the yard (11 wins), her latest success at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; requires a decent pace to be seen at her best and not out of this.

Dandys Angel

J: Barry McHugh

T: John Wainwright

Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground; never involved on her C&D reappearance last month, but she should be sharper this time and is now 11lb lower than for her win here last summer; could be dangerous if she gets a good pace and some luck.

Six-time course winner (all 1m2f) who goes on any ground and finished second in this on her first start of 2023; 0-10 since her last win in July, however, and she was 50-1 when suffering big defeat on her reappearance in this race last year; nothing wrong with this mark if she is ready to roll.

J: Jack Quinlan

T: Neil King

Twice made the frame at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Brian Ellison last month; left that yard after a disappointing Flat run but was in contention before awkward jumps at last two flights proved costly on recent stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good); swaps usual cheekpices for first-time visor; can make her presence felt.

Form & Verdict
Habitual front-runner who made all when scoring at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in June off 3lb lower mark; unable to sustain his effort when attempting similar tactics at Chester last time but a danger to all if his jockey gets the fractions right.

Front-runner who won twice (1m2f/1m4f) on good to soft this season; not sure to get 1m6f, as he raced freely to set up a clear lead at Carlisle last time but he also rallied that day to finish a creditable second; needs a second look.

Has improved since being fitted with a tongue-tie on his last two starts and got off the mark at Catterick (1m4f, soft) last month; it remains to be seen if he can follow up on forecast quicker ground but he is at the right end of the handicap to progress.
