12-time C&D winner including three this summer; no impact in her last three starts, but her last success was off only 1lb lower and she battled well when landing this race last year; not ruled out.

J: Andrew Mullen

Course specialist having won over this C&D 12 times, most recently last month off a 1lb lower mark than today's; below her best when dropped back to 5f here ten days ago but she's the type to bounce back on her return to this trip.

J: Kaiya Fraser

T: Tristan Davidson

Holds her form really well despite being kept busy, winning three times here since mid-June and making it 12 course wins overall; the return here is a big plus, but all 14 career wins have come over 6f so she does have something to prove on a rare attempt at 5f; stable also runs Harb.

Never really looked dangerous in recent big-field York race won by Jonny Concrete but was in good form beforehand, most notably when winning at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May; each-way claims at least if back on song.

Won at Ayr (7f, good to firm) in May and has continued in good form, beaten a short head when second of five at Hamilton (6f, good) a fortnight ago; back up in grade today but could give another good account.
