Back in good form since having wind surgery and returned to turf from AW, winning comfortably over C&D (good) then creditable second under a penalty at Yarmouth (7f); back on career-high mark but still looks shortlist material returned to this scenario.

Back from a wind operation when winning comfortably last week at Pontefract (6f, good); carries a penalty but should be hard to beat if as good again, as returning to 7f won't hinder her at all.

J: Zak Wheatley

T: Declan Carroll

Took advantage of an easing mark to make a winning seasonal reappearance at Southwell (1m; 14-1, first start since wind surgery) in late April; non-runner at Thirsk (ground) on Sunday, and this looks a better fit; likely to have a say from 4lb higher.

J: Ethan Tindall

Two narrow AW wins at 6f and 7f over the winter months; never involved back on turf at Thirsk (7f, good) recently and although this is less competitive her stamina for a tough 7f like this still has to be proved.

J: Warren Fentiman

Successful twice (6f/7f) on AW during the winter but her mark edged up and she was only seventh at Newcastle on Good Friday; used to be just as effective on turf but she needs to bounce back and others appeal more.

Second in a C&D maiden on sole appearance here; Thirsk 7f maiden win last June preceded two handicap placings but she's been right out of form in her three starts since, one this season.

Dual 2yo winner (once over C&D); more exposed than some of these but ran game race from the front when close second in first-time cheekpieces at Catterick (7f, good) a fortnight ago; contender if headgear continues to aid.

Launched handicap career with 7f wins at Newmarket (good to firm) and Catterick (good) last month; weakened into fourth of six after making the running at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) last time but further progress remains possible.

Kept on well to prevail by a head against her own sex at Catterick (7f, good) nine days ago and now 2-2 in handicaps; another 3lb higher over a slightly longer trip but is probably still improving; has big role to play.

Yorkshire Queen

J: Oliver Stammers

T: Grant Tuer

Seven-race maiden; made quite promising seasonal debut when fourth at Southwell (7f, AW) last month but raced too freely and was disappointing when upped to 1m at Haydock (good to soft) a fortnight ago; drops back to 7f with a point to prove.

She ran okay when fourth of 11 behind a comfortable winner at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago on reappearance; however, this six-race maiden is starting to look exposed and she can be headstrong, which is a concern on this first crack at 1m.
