Sole success came over 7f (good) a year ago. Tried to make all at Catterick last time until fading in the final furlong. That effort makes the drop to 6f a worthwhile experiment and better drawn this time.

In poor form currently and not at his best on conditions as soft as forecast. Looks easy to ignore on that evidence.

Last victory came off today's mark on a soft surface. That was over 7f but she is equally effective over this trip and a good claimer is in the saddle.

Produced a career best at Wolverhampton last time. Should handle slower conditions being related to a four-time Fibresand winner and as sire gets his share of soft ground performers, but a low draw may be too much of a handicap.

Below-par last time and blinkers go on this time. Yet to convince he handles soft ground and he probably has too many questions to answer.

Has been limited to just ten starts since last winning at Thirsk two years ago. Has not given much cause for excitement in that time and can only watch him here.

Has dropped to a career low mark and stable have recently got back amongst the winners. Ground conditions have turned favourable so there is every possibility he might surprise a few.

Sole victory came over 1m on the Polytrack. Her form has an inconsistent look, but she is well-drawn and her sire's influence indicates she might step up for a first run on soft ground. Worth a market check on second start for top yard.

Has won twice going round a bend at Catterick this year. This is a different test and she was last of ten on sole encounter with soft ground.

35-race maiden was not disgraced last week from out of the weights under an inexperienced rider. Hard to be confident he will do much better from his correct mark this time given his record.

Sole victory in 27 starts came in selling company as a juvenile. Shown very little on last three starts and is impossible to fancy at present.

Attracted some support ahead of a good run at Carlisle but he has underperformed in both starts since. His pedigree does not lend itself to improvement on soft ground.

Has a dirt pedigree and her half-brother has four AW races including three at Southwell. Too early to write off, but chances here on handicap debut have receded with the draw,

Verdict

Size Matters set some good fractions to this distance at Catterick last time and is worth a try at this this trip, although ground conditions and topweight make this a tougher task. PREZZIE has not been with Tim Easterby long and her only good run came over much further. However, she is bred to appreciate the going, her trainer handled the dam and she is well-drawn here so she is worth the risk in a weak contest. Market Choice could deliver a big run at decent odds, whilst Someone Exciting looks held by Nifty Niece on recent form but should turn the tables with conditions here more to her liking.
