Two wins this summer, the latest over C&D 13 days ago when having a bit to spare; a 4lb higher mark may prove less of a hindrance than the widest stall.

Often front-runner; course winner over 7f last June and gained her fifth success when winning at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) five starts ago; behind Barmyblade when third over this C&D before a lesser effort at Thirsk 11 days ago; could bounce back in this lower grade.

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.
