Form & Verdict
Course winner (5f) whose losing run is up to 17 but he looked as though he would appreciate the return to this trip when fourth of nine here (5f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month (runner-up has won twice since); may not want too much rain.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who has won six times over C&D including this race four years ago and when making all (soft) 13 days ago (third won next time); 5lb higher, but there's a chance he may again be allowed his own way and he won't mind what the weather does; high on list.

J: Shane Gray

T: Noel Wilson

Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; however, failed to build on reappearance when well last of six over C&D at the end of May so his hopes are pinned on a change of stable (has left Stephen Hanlon) sparking a return to form.

Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; not ground dependent; has been well below par in both starts since last winning (for Ann Duffield) here last September; not ruled out back here with 7lb claimed but it will need one of his better efforts from this mark.

Form & Verdict
Patchy form since easily winning a Newcastle nursery (6f, AW) last September, running poorly after a short break at Thirsk (6f, good) 11 days ago; needs to leave that performance well behind.

Her 22 starts have yielded just one win but she was a close second of 18 at 25-1 at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) two starts ago and backed that up when runner-up to at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last Wednesday, albeit no match for the thriving winner; firmly in calculations given recent showings.

Returned to form with 25-1 second of 18 at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last week; she can't be dismissed today but she's very inconsistent and has won just one of her 21 races, while the return to 7f also poses a question.

2-25, her latest win coming at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) in June; off the same mark as when runner-up to a subsequent winner at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on her penultimate outing and possibilities on that; best form on good to firm.
