Last win came in a seller at Catterick about a year ago, mixed efforts since then but good record here (win and a third from two starts) and a couple of recent runs should have got him fitter; yard going well and not out of this.

Came good at Haydock off this mark last August, and in slightly better company, so handicapped to win again; seems to have a preference for ground with cut, so likely conditions fine, and recent solid effort will have blown any cobwebs away.

Well into the veteran stage now, very useful at his peak but this more his level nowadays; capable off this mark and conditions fine, but was well beaten at Thirsk on Monday, and only makes limited appeal.

Four wins to her name, all at a sharp 5f on good ground, so conditions here may not play to her strengths; ran very well when second on reappearance at Newcastle so her turn may not be far away, but others male slightly more appeal here.

Evergreen mare having her 137th start today, and has a great record over the years at Hamilton (7 times a winner here); not the force she was but mark is workable and she's always capable of the surprise at one of her favourite venues.

Five wins in 46 starts, and changed yard before latest effort at Beverley last week where he showed a bit more; good record here (2 wins and a place from 5 starts), likely ground fine and a good showing wouldn't surprise.

Last win came in 2018 but well backed on first run for new yard at Beverley latest, staying on well for second late on; new headgear today, likely conditions fine and on a good mark for a yard going well at present.

Tricky to win with, just the one win in the last couple of seasons but some decent efforts in defeat and likely conditions fine here; may need this seasonal reappearance run though, and others make a little more appeal.

Just two wins in 28 starts but has a good record at the track (one win, two places from five starts) and loves a bit of cut in the ground; might need this run after an absence though, and best watched today.

Looks very moderate these days and did no better on first start for her new yard at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago, last of seven; this looks a tough little race for the grade, and others have much stronger claims.

Forecasts

Pavers Pride (11/8), Boudica Bay (3/1), Hard Solution (13/2), Guardia Svizzera (10/1), Marietta Robusti (12/1), Popping Corks (20/1), Cuppacoco (25/1), B Fifty Two (25/1), Economic Crisis (50/1), Shesadabber (66/1)

Verdict

An open looking race where top weight HARD SOLUTION might be the answer. A good course record, plus the fact he should be bang fit after a couple of runs, make him look quite attractive here and he can make his class count. Guardia Svizzera ran okay at Beverley last week and if coming on a bit from that, can prove the danger. Pavers Pride has conditions in his favour and if the switch of headgear works, looks sure to be on the premises too.
