Two good efforts in defeat see him pushed up the weights but he has been competitive off higher this season. Looks better suited to a stiff 5f and should give another good account.
Made all to land a minor race at Redcar and went backwards on her next two starts. Back after a 10 month absence and needs to prove she is back to last summer's standards.
His only win in 15 starts came as a result of a disqualification in a C&D event. Has gone down in two tight finishes under this rider and continues to head up the weights without getting his head in front.
Winner over 5f and 6f and suited by the strong pace when scoring at Musselburgh in May. Has found the weights against her on both starts since but mark has dropped for this. She looks tailor-made for this stiff circuit with the pace likely to come from Whiteandgold and Dapper Man.
Sole win in 18 starts came in a four-runner event at Bath and the handicapper's subsequent reassessment leaves him with a stiff task in adding to those gains.
Has been in good form over the past month but now takes a step up in class. Has been unlucky to come up against the improving Foxy Boy lately and his trainer had a double at Ayr on Sunday.
Useful form in beating Queen In Waiting at Beverley last term when with Dandy Nicholls. Has found life tougher since but appeared to be finding her mark last time when noted staying on at Redcar behind Foxy Boy and Dapper Man. Should not be long in winning whatever her fate here.

Sheepscar Lad (5/4), Dapper Man (5/1), The Nazca Lines (5/1), Lawless Louis (13/2), Lightoller (7/1), Bay Station (8/1), Lady Cristal (8/1), Whiteandgold (33/1)
Sheepscar Lad and Lawless Louis find themselves heading up the weights without winning and others are potentially better handicapped. Bay Station looks well treated on her Beverley victory of last season and appeared to be coming to hand last time. Lady Cristal should be suited by the pace this is likely to be run at and her ability to stay 6f could prove useful over this circuit. THE NAZCA LINES catches the eye off this mark having been dropped in the weights recently and having generally campaigned at higher levels. He will probably be reassessed following his Haydock run on Friday and if he can tun to a similar level again, then he would be hard to beat.
