Form & Verdict
Both wins have been on turf but he's unexposed on AW and has finished close up over C&D and at Newcastle (5f) in his two runs this year; on same mark as last time and he should make another bold bid back up in trip.

Front-runner whose three turf wins have all been on ground slower than good, the most recent coming when holding on at Chester (6f, good to soft) two months ago; may not have things all his own way in front but commands respect off this 2lb higher mark.

Slowly away on his last three starts; runner-up over 6f here in April following a break; hasn't built on that on turf on his two starts since (6f) but he made late headway at Chester last time and the return to 7f may be a good move; could be involved back here.

Form & Verdict
Won a Racing League handicap off this mark last summer; three solid efforts this year, including a third at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) last month and a close fourth in big field at Ripon two weeks ago; remains lightly raced on AW and he's a key player back in this sphere.

Consistent filly who's been inclined to pull hard over 6f here the last twice; did well to get as close last Friday, given she fluffed the start and had to switch for a run, and has a chance of breaking her duck on turf (0-13; three-time winner on Tapeta).

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Ran well in face of a stiff task in a Carlisle Listed event last summer; backed that up with a close third in a Thirsk handicap (7f, good) but she's lost her way in three subsequent runs; should be fine on this drop back in trip but she needs a major revival on this second run after a break.

First-time cheekpieces and a reduced mark when coming good again at Ripon (6f, good) in May and she was close up in Bintaryana's race at York next time; the latter form in particular raises hopes but she was off her game last time at Pontefract.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 11th attempt when landing a Chepstow maiden (6f, soft) in September but that was a golden opportunity and he struggled back in a handicap in his final run last season; drops back in grade on his return but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing.
