Form & Verdict
21-race maiden (Flat and jumps) but beaten only by a short head at Ayr (1m5f, good) when last seen out in April; that was a decent race for the grade and he handles soft ground; has a chance if wound up after 154-day absence having had wind surgery.

Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and easily made all at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) next time; having gone up 9lb he was beaten 9l when third of 14 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last time but today's sharper track may help; could make bold bid.

J: Tom Kiely-Marshall

T: John Wainwright

Beverley specialist who hasn't been at the top of her game over 8.4f there on her two starts this season; however, that trip is probably inadequate nowadays and she has a reduced mark to work with back up in trip; has won over C&D and this 9yo is not written off.

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.
