On long losing run but gives his running more often than most at this level and recorded a fifth in-frame effort in a row when fourth of 11 at this course (7f, good) just over 3 weeks ago. Solid each-way player once again.

Course winner back in the spring and returned to form back down in trip when fourth of 8 at Pontefract (5f, good) 6 days ago, running on having been hampered final 1f. Not the most reliable so wouldn't be sure to be in the same mood here.

Course winner last summer and arrives in top order, just ending up doing too much too soon when third of 13 in classified event at this course (7f, good to firm) 5 weeks ago. Back sprinting for the first time since her juvenile days and one to take seriously.

On lengthy losing run and followed one of her better efforts with a poor one when eleventh of 16 at Redcar (6f, good) last month, again looking awkward. Others more persuasive.

Remains winless but returned to form in first-time cheekpieces when third of 11 at Thirsk (6f, good) just over 2 weeks ago. Clearly capable of winning a small race if things fall right but consistency has been her Achilles' heel.

Remains a maiden but has made the frame 4 times this season, including when beaten only a neck over C&D in July. Best excused the effort when last of 14 at Newcastle (6f) just under 6 weeks ago, denied a clear run from 2f out.

Scored twice at Pontefract in October 2024 but winless since and has finished tailed off on both outings this season 4 months apart. Cheekpieces reapplied but can only be watched on recent evidence.

Pair of 7f wins last year. Standout effort this campaign when second of 14 at Beverley (7.4f) in June and shaped as if possibly amiss here just over 3 weeks ago. Down to her last winning mark but needs to show plenty more.

Left Kevin Ryan and in first-time tongue strap (also had second breathing operation), shaped as if needed run when tenth of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Best watched unless market speaks otherwise.
