VerdictDual winner over this trip last term. Slipped to a handy mark and posted solid third of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Drops in grade for tapeta debut and merits consideration.

VerdictRan poorly at Ripon last time but all 3 career victories have come on all-weather and figures off a handy mark. Respected.- 5. PickersgillJ: Lewis EdmundsT: Iain JardineF: 00-472175

VerdictFair 6f winner in Ireland who opened account for current yard over C&D in April. Below that level in both starts since but return to this venue could see her bounce back.

Verdict6-y-o who arrives on a losing run and struggled for consistency for present yard. Ran with credit (from 5 lb out of the weights) when sixth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Chester (6f, good to soft) latest but task is to build on that now.

VerdictPromise in his qualifying runs and not judged too harshly on handicap debut effort on the all-weather at Lingfield in April, awkward leaving the stalls and also short of room at a key moment. This will reveal more with a tongue strap on.- 9. ReputationJ: Kaiya FraserT: Ruth CarrF: 545172-13

VerdictAt the veteran stage but made winning return over C&D in May and ran just as well in defeat when third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 34 days ago. Not taken lightly.

VerdictRemains a maiden following 13 attempts but latest effort can be ignored (lost all chance at start). Running well prior to that, including when second at this course (7f) in April, and can make presence felt.

VerdictWent very close to breaking her duck in 7f handicap at Lingfield on New Year's Eve. However, has gone backwards from that effort in 4 starts this year, leaving Ed Walker after the first outing.- Unnamed Favourite
