Supported when scoring on his handicap debut over this trip (good to firm) at Pontefract in April. Interesting that connections keep him to this grade from top weight for his follow-up bid and a 3lb rise does not look insurmountable.
Scored on debut in a Musselburgh maiden (7f, good) in September and was gelded before his reappearance at Newmarket last month (1m, soft) when leading until 3f out but weakening to be beaten 17L. Should come on for that and some better ground, while a 2lb drop will help.
Produced her best effort since her Salisbury debut last year when a 2½L third at Newmarket (1m, soft) on her reappearance last month from 1lb lower. Will need to settle better to give her a better chance, but clearly competitive at this level and won't mind any rain.
Maiden after 10 races but goes into this 1lb lower than when runner-up in a 6f nursery at Hamilton (good to firm) in August. Remains vulnerable, as shown by his two runs so far this season.
Went well enough on debut last year and again after a break at Newcastle (1m, AW) in March, but beaten a long way when tried over 1m2f at that venue last time. Drops back in trip for handicap debut and mark looks fair enough, but enters this sphere with a little to prove.
2L fifth behind Alfred Richardson at Pontefract in April and now 5lb better off with that reopposing rival. Beat everything bar the wide margin winner at Redcar when stepped up to this trip (good to firm) last time and won't mind any ease in the ground. Likely to be competitive.
Failed to hit the heights in three maidens last season but went in at the first time of asking in handicap company on his reappearance at Catterick (7f, good to firm) in April. Not far away from a 1lb higher mark last time and now stepped up in trip, he looks capable of further improvement.
Moderate form and has not finished ahead of many in three maidens so far, meaning that he makes this handicap debut from a workable mark. Market check advised.
Has not yet managed to find any consistency, but has already run well here when a 66-1 third last season and also later in the year when beaten less than 1L at Musselburgh (7f, good). First start since joining current and in-form yard and races from same mark as that penultimate run, so looks capable of going close.
Moderate form in maidens for both Robert Cowell and Mick Channon and also ran in a handicap for the latter on his most recent outing in February, when beaten 5½L from 3lb higher. Looks best watched on debut for another different stable.

Forecasts
Dance Teacher (7/4), Jumira Prince (9/2), Heatongrad (11/2), Mama Africa (6/1), Four Wishes (15/2), Alfred Richardson (8/1), Fortuities (9/1), Scots Piper (16/1), Kilbaha Lady (16/1), Thomas Crown (25/1), Baby Helmet (33/1), Mulwith (50/1)
Alfred Richardson looks a strong contender once again, despite giving weight away all round, but he is 5lb worse off for beating MAMA AFRICA by 2L at Pontefract and David Barron's filly must have a decent chance of turning the tables, especially as she won't mind the ground slowing if that becomes the case. Four Wishes is feared along with Mulwith, while southern raiders Dance Teacher and Jumira Prince have to be given plenty of respect.
