Won on debut for Joseph O'Brien; his only effort of note in six starts for current yard (two here) was last month's selling win at Beverley (extended 1m) when odds-on in beating two rivals (in this first-time headgear); back in a handicap last time and was found wanting, albeit over 1m2f; others preferred.

10st 2lb

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Jennie Candlish

Capitalised on a golden opportunity for easy win at 8-13 in a seller at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; that may have given his confidence a boost and he's unexposed in the retained tongue-tie/cheekpieces, but he's opposable on what he's achieved in handicaps this season.

Infrequent winner; fair return to action when fifth over C&D in April but she looks to face an uphill task at these weights.

Catton Lady

10st 2lb

J: Joanna Mason

T: Michael & David Easterby

Ended a long losing run when scoring off 2lb lower at Carlisle (1m, soft) last June; has had just two runs this season but she's run creditably in a handicap and a seller at Beverley; now drops back in trip but has possibilities if she gets a good pace and some luck.

9st 6lb

J: Joanna Mason

T: Michael & David Easterby

Kept on well to beat Blufferonthebus at Carlisle (her only other win also came there) in June; good effort when second of 11 at Thirsk (also 1m, soft) in September when last seen; also ran well on her return in 2024 but could beat only Dandy's Angel when making her comeback in this race last year; any rain would help and market may guide on this reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Won twice over 7f last November; comparable form when second at Carlisle (1m, soft) last month; not so good last time and she faces a stiff task at the weights; slower ground ideal too.

Scored over C&D (soft) just under a year ago and has been in good form lately; close second off today's mark here (7.7f, soft) a week ago and also suited by good ground; likely contender again.

In reasonably good form, having made the frame twice last month, third at Catterick latest; dual winner at Carlisle (soft/good to firm) and returns to this venue off a favourable mark; respected.
