Has gained both his wins over C&D the latest in July last year off a mark of 59 on soft ground and ran well straight after that run here failing to peg back one who got first run. Comeback run this year (without usual headgear) appeared to set him for a better run next time and although he finished last on his next run he shaped better than the distance he was beaten and has prospects here.
More likely to be found on the AW at Southwell (usually travels well on that surface; can find little) an all his winning form is on Fibresand. Last three turf runs this year have all been in sellers and claimers and hasn't been disgraced but should find a few too good here.
Not the best drawn here on the wide outside of the field for one making her handicap debut after three runs in maidens all over shorter trips. Looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and the opening mark looks fair enough although any softening of the ground would be an unknown factor.
In the veteran stage now but still capable of winning races as he showed last time out at Lingfield albeit off a lowly mark of 46 to end a losing run of about 2 years. Rather harshly raised 5lb for that win and that may just rule him out of this.
From last season's winning stable who took this prize with a similarly lowly-weighted individual. His effort last time out to Clear As A Bell looks even better now in the light of that one's weekend win at Beverley with Cyflymder just behind. He's no banker to follow-up that run though having very much two ways of running.
Yet to win a race and would have a chance based on his second over C&D on his penultimate start his only recent run without headgear. Did look to get worried out of things late on there and might not be an easy ride and failed to repeat that run last time out in first-time cheekpieces at Musselburgh.
She's probably best summed up by her record of 0/22 and although there are a couple of decent efforts on her CV it's not hard to pass her over here.
A Newcastle maiden winner over 7f at the backend of last year she looks to be fairly treated off this mark but lacks the spark at the moment to take advantage and is passed over here.
Given a year off and a change of stable she showed plenty of promise in her second start in a handicap at Doncaster finishing runner-up in a fair race for a 0-65. Very much left the impression that there was a race or two in her off this sort of mark after finishing well and the 7f could well suit her.
Might be a little better than her bare form suggests and although she's only modest and yet to win a race she did travel quite well over a mile at Newcastle last time and showed ability the time before at Musselburgh over 7f. The only doubt would be that the ground could be a little too soft for her but she's possibly better than this lowly mark and may well take a hand.
Makes her debut for this yard having shown only modest form last year and but looks to have totally lost her way this year and a big turnaround in her form would be needed.

Yes You (5/2), Angel's Acclaim (4/1), Magic Journey (15/2), Coral Princess (8/1), Jessie Allan (10/1), Cyflymder (10/1), Broctune Papa Gio (10/1), Secret City (12/1), Monsieur Jimmy (14/1), Peny Arcade (16/1), Charava (28/1), Tael O' Gold (40/1)
Potentially the more interesting of the two divisions of this although its YES YOU that makes most appeal after her run at Doncaster last time out and she still looks quite handily weighted here. Angel’s Acclaim looks to have a handicap in her but the wide draw is slightly off putting and although Rebecca Bastiman won this last year her Secret City is passed over due to his inconsistent nature. There are however a couple at bigger prices that may outrun their likely odds here in Coral Princess and Charava both of whom are better than their recent runs would suggest.
- Yes You
- Coral Princess
- Charava
