Made all over C&D (good to firm) last month and followed up at Beverley (5f, good to firm); has won here on good to soft ground; climbing the weights but there's still mileage in his mark judged on his old form; respected.

C&D winner; runner-up on last two starts, beaten a nose at Carlisle (6f, good; 5-2 favourite) four weeks ago; that form looks solid, with the winner running well in a Class 4 at York subsequently; 1lb higher, but does have Alex Jary's 3lb claim to assist; key player.

J: Alex Jary

T: Nigel Tinkler

7yo who has a poor strike-rate and was underwhelming at Carlisle and Ripon on last two outings; a return to form is needed but he was runner-up three times in a row earlier in the summer, with two of those over C&D, and his last win came over C&D; might not be far away back here.

Rattled the crossbar on three occasions this summer, missing out by a nose at Carlisle (6f, good; 5-2 favourite) in early July; failed to fire (only sixth) back there three weeks ago and he's probably missed his opportunity for now.

His sole turf win was in 2023 but he was good third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Southwell (6f, AW) last time; headgear is now removed but he should go well again off unchanged mark.

Handy sort; one of his three wins came over C&D early last year and he has become well handicapped, while he ran his best race since joining Adam Kirby when third of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on Saturday; should be bang there with a repeat; visor returns.

Beaten a neck over C&D in June; made amends the following week before his revised mark could kick into force, making all to fend off a pair of rivals who also raced far side early on in that contest; weakened quickly when last of four at Nottingham latest; needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
Made the breakthrough, justifying favouritism at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; while she has responded to the removal of the hood, this represents a step back up the ladder (Class 5) from a 4lb higher mark; her task isn't an insurmountable one, though.
