Four-time scorer over this trip last year but yet to really fire this year and a mark this high makes her vulnerable. Can also start slowly and that means her draw next to the rail won't be put to good use.
Rather tame run last time out looks to have taken the gloss off a sound reappearance run which she looked set to build on. Needs to get back in the groove now although this mark may test her here.
Has been in sparkling form for his small stable but will need to make a little more improvement here off another career high mark. Always best in a strongly run race this is a track that he operates well at and he can't be left out of the equation here.
Strong travelling sort who has produced a couple of decent efforts this year who has worked his way back down to a mark below his last winning one. Not written off here but may need some luck in-running.
Out-and-out front runner who isn't badly drawn here to attack and could get an easy lead here and improved on recent efforts when making all to win at Catterick last time dominating a small field. Still looks well treated on some of his old form and respected here.
Form this year is a rather mixed bag and ran a solo down the far side rails in first-time blinkers last time out at Redcar. Probably better than he showed there but not a frequent winner these days and the stall 1 draw won't be a help here.
Didn't run a bad race when returning from a break last time at Wetherby and in fact shaped quite well and runs off a mark that looks competitive. Travels strongly and will be suited by a strong pace.
Useful handicapper who has looked rejuvenated this year for his trainer that has been in good form from his new base. Won easily here on his first start of the year and followed up off the same mark at Ayr a few days later in very easy fashion. Been given a break since then and travels strongly takes a rise in class here but probably still has some improvement left in him even off this increased mark of 70.

Forecasts
Longroom (5/2), Lexington Place (9/2), Bosham (5/1), Royal Brave (13/2), Desert Ace (13/2), Economic Crisis (7/1), Showdaisy (8/1), Midnight Malibu (11/1), Landing Night (14/1)
With Bosham and Midnight Mailbu in the field this is likely to be run at a strong pace and run to suit the strong travellers in the line-up. Royal Brave needs to improve a little again but looks as though he could manage that over a C&D that suits him well but he might face a tough task giving weight to the ever improving LONGROOM who may well be still be ahead of his mark even this revised one of 70. Lexington Place also comes into the equation along with Economic Crisis and that duo should be winning soon.
