Won his maiden here over 7f in 2018 but very lightly raced since. Shaped with some promise on comeback run at Newcastle recently and if this doesn't come too soon a bold run could be in store as the drop to 6f could be a plus.

Very much a Pontefract specialist (last three wins there) and has needed comeback run in the past so likely to be of more interest with this run under his belt.

Losing run goes back to 2017 but has plummeted down the handicap and had a wind operation since last seen. A win and a second on two previous visits here so wouldn't be a shock to see him outrun his odds.

Placed many times but just the one win since 2017 and this a competitive race to be needing to bounce back to best in. Stable second string on bookings.

Managed just the one run for current yard since bought from Richard Hannon in 2018 so plenty to prove but interesting that connections persevere with him and lightly raced so there could be more to offer. Worth market check.

Dual winner last year and was well backed on the most recent of those which was his second success at the track. Had a spin on the AW in March so not without chance on the pick of his form.

Veteran who went without a win last year. Ripon specialist who will be of more interest when he returns to that venue later this summer.

Two from two here but surprisingly hasn't been here since 2016. Very much a soft ground specialist so needs the heavens to open to be of interest.

Won here first time out last year and also scored in the summer at York. Finished the season on a low but now returns on career low mark and with yard among the winners has to be of interest now.

Runner-up three times already in 2020 but losing run building up and proving expensive to follow having attracted support on many occasions. Others appeal more.

Both career wins gained early last season and ran well in defeat enough times after that to suggest she has more to come so not easily dismissed in a competitive race.

Sole win gained as a juvenile and has only once been seen over 6f in his career. Has to convince he stays beyond 5f and stable also saddle Normandy Barriere.

Without a win since 2017 when with Paul Cole. Now with another new yard and although fairly treated on pick of his form, he has to bounce back to be of interest.

Forecasts

Galloway Hills (10/3), Upstaging (10/3), Queen Of Kalahari (7/2), Normandy Barriere (13/2), Barrington (9/1), Lady Calcaria (9/1), Magical Effect (14/1), Antagonize (14/1), Buccaneers Vault (16/1), True Hero (16/1), Mr Orange (20/1), Pipers Note (28/1), Show Palace (50/1), Mutanaaseq (66/1)

Verdict

Queen Of Kalahari has been a winning machine on the AW of late but has to take another step forward off this higher mark than when last seen on turf. She looks sure to be a player but GALLOWAY HILLS makes a fair bit of appeal considering he won here on first run of the season in 2019 and looks on a very fair mark now. Normandy Barriere has a good record at this venue and is normally found in stronger grade so can't be ignored in a fair race for the grade.
  1. Galloway Hills
  2. Queen Of Kalahari
  3. Normandy Barriere
