Successful off a 3lb lower mark over 6f at Thirsk (good) in April but well held twice since including in first time cheekpieces (dispensed with today) over the same C&D last time.
Ran well when finishing runner-up over 5f at Beverley (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Also placed twice over this distance at Ripon this season and likely to run well again here.
Victorious over 6f at Thirsk (good-to-firm) in May and best effort in three starts since came when a head second over 6f at Haydock (good-to-firm) last time out. Races off a 4lb higher mark here.
Best effort so far this season came when 2L fourth of nine over 5f at Ripon (good) last time out. Short of room late on on that occasion and interesting to see how he fares off a mark 2lb higher than for his latest success.
Registered a hat-trick earlier this season culminating in a victory on good-to-firm ground at York a month ago. Placed twice off this mark subsequently including when finishing one placed behind Scofflaw at Haydock (good-to-firm) last time and likely to run well once more.
Winner twice so far in 2017 most recent over this distance at Leicester (good) in June. Put a disappointing performance subsequently behind her when a neck second over 6f at Chester (good) last time and is an interesting runner here.
Ripon (good) maiden winner on his second career start last August. Gelded during the close season and well held twice since including over 5f at Beverley (good-to-firm) last time. Hard to recommend at present.

Scofflaw (5/2), Meshardal (3/1), Love Oasis (3/1), Straightothepoint (7/2), Socialites Red (8/1), Pea Shooter (16/1), Zanetto (22/1), Robben Rainbow (66/1)
The consistent STRAIGHTOTHEPOINT can gain a deserved first success off the season returning to this trip having been racing over the minimum distance of late. The selection wasn't beaten far when second off a 2lb higher mark in May and can get the better of Scofflaw who ran well to finish runner-up last time out while likely pace angle Love Oasis can finish third.
