Off the mark at 14th attempt with an emphatic win in a Catterick maiden (6f, good to soft; cheekpieces added) last month; has 3lb rise to deal with back in a handicap but she hit a personal best with that dominant display and this return to Tapeta is no problem; respected.

T: Ollie Sangster

Quirky filly who's been very expensive to follow this season, getting beaten a long way at 8-13 in a maiden early last month before another poor one in a Polytrack handicap; more than enough ability and it will largely hinge on the first-time headgear.

Nine-race maiden whose second-place finishes over 5f in April/May suggest there may be a contest of this nature in him; form dipped when returned to 6f last time.

13-race maiden but he's been placed five times and didn't get much luck when runner-up in a Newcastle handicap (6f, Tapeta) three weeks ago; now returns to a novice but he should be fine back at this trip and his best form puts him firmly in the picture; hood removed.

Longstanding maiden who's been turned over at 13-2 or shorter on eight occasions, mainly over 5f; headgear goes back on as he returns to 6f but he's often pulled hard in the hood and can miss the break, so there are risks involved.

Ran well at Newmarket last time considering he did a bit too much up front over 6f; gained his 2yo win over 5f and the return to this trip looks ideal; respected off unaltered mark.
