Comment: Her first three wins were at this track and last success was off 2lb higher at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last July; mixed results in five runs this year but her latest front-running second at Carlisle (6f, soft) was a decent effort behind a progressive 3yo; has claims if she can back that up and this drop back in trip should be fine.

Comment: Nine-time winner, including two over C&D (good to firm); had some ups and downs this year but he went close off this mark at Wetherby last month and was a respectable fourth of 13 at Newcastle last time; looks interesting back at this track and drying ground would be a positive.

Comment: Acts on good to firm and good to soft; had an excuse over 7f on his reappearance last month and he returned to form with a strong-finishing win over C&D (good) two weeks ago; that was a cosy success in a first-time visor and a 4lb rise looks fair enough; big player.

Jockey: Harry Russell Trainer: John & Sean Quinn Age/Wt: 6/10-4 F: 0/600-8 OR: 80

Comment: Two wins over 1m (good) in Ireland but last success was in 2022 and he's been well held in three starts for current yard; on reduced mark and may have needed his reappearance run here (1m1f, good) last month but others are more convincing.

Comment: All of his nine wins have been on good or slower, including four over C&D; made a slow start to this season but he returned to form with a close second at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) 11 days ago; has claims if he can back that up but drying ground wouldn't be ideal.
