Dropped 3lb in her two runs this year yet neither has been without hope, perhaps in need of the run on the first occasion and then poorly drawn at Doncaster last time; better effort expected today.

Arrives on the crest of a wave having won four of her last five starts; a 4lb rise for her small-field Class 5 win at Ripon last month could just find her out here, though.

Didn't get the breaks at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but she pounced late to continue her consistent spell at Redcar (6f, good; from 3lb lower) subsequently, justifying favouritism; is well drawn in stall 12, so should have a positive role to play.

Ended losing run with an emphatic success at Wolverhampton (5f) six weeks ago and the runner-up has done his bit for the form since; still seeking a first turf win though and following up off 7lb higher won't be easy.

Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts.

Yet to win in ten starts for current stable but he has been placed in seven of them, including back on turf at Wetherby 13 days ago (5.5f, good to firm); should run his race but this looks a tough race in which to end his losing streak.

Two of her three wins have come at Beverley (5f, good to firm/soft) and she has dropped back below her last winning mark; ran well on seasonal reappearance at Wetherby (5.5f; third) but had no in-running luck at Beverley subsequently; isn't a forlorn hope.

Gained all four wins over 6f on good or faster ground; shaped as though worth another crack at 7f when keeping-on fifth over the stiff 6f at Pontefract (good; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago but others appeal more all the same; tongue-tie refitted.

Two solid efforts for Roger Varian last summer, winning a 6f maiden at Lingfield (AW) on debut before finishing third under a penalty at Doncaster (6f, good to firm); not so good on his stable debut at Lingfield last month (after nine months off) but he looks to be on a fair mark for his handicap debut.

Far from exposed, having been picked up from Roger Varian for 20,000gns, but may not be the easiest and will need to get away better; hung left last time (only has daylight on that side from stall 7) and goes in first-time cheekpieces/tongue-tie.
