Carries a 6lb penalty here after making all to win over C&D on Saturday when conditions were described as good to soft. Claimer now on board to negate that and she is arguably still unexposed on turf, though does have it to prove in these conditions. Not ruled out.
Has not win since 2015 and is now 13lb higher than his last success. Recent efforts from this mark having been uninspiring, however, and he can't be recommended with any confidence today.
0-18 so far but throws in the odd really good effort, a case in point being last time out over C&D (good), when beaten ¾L from this mark. Cheekpieces now applied, though a hood was previously ineffective and he is also inconsistent.
Has made the frame here three times from six visits and comes into this in decent form after an Ayr win (1m2f, good) and just a 2L defeat from today's mark back over that C&D last time. Shorter trip not ideal but has frame claims.
1-27, his sole win being over 1m2f at Bath (good) last season. The handicapper has had him since then, including when dropped to this mark at Ripon last time. Interesting jockey booking and a precautionary market check is advised.
Showed s bit of promise in her third and final maiden at Newcastle (7f, AW) in February, but has not gone on from that in her first two handicaps over 6f/7f. Step up in trip and a further 3lb drop might help her take closer order.
Drops significantly in trip here for his second attempt in handicap company after being well beaten over 1m5f (soft) here last time. 3lb drop will also help and nice enough pedigree, including winners at around this distance. Market check suggested.
Three of her six wins have been here (two over C&D), the last of them being over two years ago from 9lb higher. Has shown very little of late, however, and a sudden return to form here would be something of a surprise.
0-17 and well beaten in all three starts this season at similar trips to this. Very hard to enthuse about his chance again today, despite the stable being in reasonably good form.
Beaten just a neck into second at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) last month but maybe his latest run (just two days later) came a bit too soon for him. Worth another try at this trip and may be able to show more than last time.

Forecasts
Cline (2/1), Haymarket (3/1), Let Right Be Done (5/1), The King's Steed (13/2), Catastrophe (7/1), Geordie George (7/1), Stardrifter (9/1), New Abbey Angel (10/1), Leven (12/1), Indian Giver (12/1), Kelpie Spirit (20/1), Rockliffe (33/1), The Bard's Advice (33/1)
Moderate fayre and Cline should put in another good attempt to make all here, which may set things up for GEORDIE GEORGE to come back to form. Rebecca Menzies' charge ran was too keen last time, but this shorter trip will help and he is still on a very competitive mark. New Abbey Angel should be thereabouts along with Haymarket and Let Right Be Done.
