5/2
Had 1½L to spare at the line when scoring over this trip at Beverley (good to firm) last time. Carries a 6lb penalty for that first win in 17 starts and this is a tough ask given her previous form from similar marks.

Sliding in the weights and now down 17lb this season after a barren spell in handicaps and back in maiden company at Hamilton last time. Looks better with cut in the ground and not easy to fancy.

6lb better off with Hamidians Girl for a 1½L beating by that reopposing rival at Beverley last time. Had a significantly worst draw than the winner that day too, so may be able to turn the tables.

7/2
Exposed performer who has a good ground C&D win to her name from some time ago. Been on the downgrade for some time, though showed signs of a possible revival at Redcar last time and perhaps has an each-way shout from the same mark.

Was beaten a neck from a 2lb higher mark at Brighton in June (5½f, good to firm) and would have claims if able to reproduce that, although his last two efforts leave him with a few questions to answer this time.

Won twice over C&D (good to firm/good) last season, the latter from 4lb higher than today. Not quite as good this term, however, as evidenced by her C&D run last time and others preferred on this occasion.

9/1
Yet to show a great deal, though it is encouraging that his best two runs have come at this venue. Beaten just over 1L over C&D (good to firm) last time. 1lb drop will help and he has each-way claims.

Lizzy's Dream22
Age: 9|  Weight: 8-8| J: Connor Beasley| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR:  45| CD
12/1
Goes well here and has a fast ground C&D win to his name from 2012. However, closer inspection reveals that that was also his last turf win and although he ran well on his most recent visit last month, he looks to have each-way claims at best.

Forecasts

Hamidans Girl (5/2), The Night Before (11/4), Thorntoun Lady (7/2), Brendan (9/1), Lizzy's Dream (12/1), Dawoodi (16/1), Thornaby Princess (18/1), Archie Stevens (18/1)

Verdict

Both Brendan and Lizzy's Dream go well here, though realistically both have each-way claims along with Thorntoun Lady. Hamidians Girl will have plenty of supporters after winning last time, but she will find it tough to give 12lb and a beating to THE NIGHT BEFORE, who is taken to reverse their Beverley form at these weights.
  1. The Night Before
  2. Hamidans Girl
