C&D winner, who has shaped the same way on both his starts since racing resumed although he did get closer to the principals at Beverley (8.5f, good/firm) last time. Back on his last winning mark he's not one to one to rule out of this open handicap.
Ran a race full of promise over C&D last time (would have appreciated a stronger gallop) keeping on well to finish second to the well handicapped Right Action. Does have a fair losing run to cope with but too well handicapped to ignore.
Course winner who has slid just below last winning mark, not exactly a serial winner though. Showed that he still retained his ability after eight months off at Redcar (6f, good/soft) last time, yard yet to really get going though, watching brief.
Capable sort at this level although his yard are not quite hitting the mark as yet, below form last time at Haydock (7f, good). Should come on for that outing bit not of any obvious interest even off a mark hovering just above his last winning one.
Joined a yard and comes complete with a long losing run stretching back to July 2017 but does give his new yard a very lenient mark to work with. Often in headgear for his previous yard, cheekpieces return here, this outing may tell us more.
Performed well for this yard in the second half of 2019 winning twice on the AW at Newcastle over 7.1f. Looked unlucky not to add another win when last seen (conceded first run to first two), yet to win on turf, may need this outing.
Needed the run on her return having run consistently for the most part without winning in 2019 after joining this yard from Ireland. Well handicapped now especially on the form she showed in Ireland, would be of interest if there was a market move.
Failed to take to Fibresand last time (disappointed on that unique surface before) having won three times in the first half of 2019 on AW/turf over 6f/7f. Often races feely, returns from a break back on turf, no great record fresh, others preferred.
Three-time C&D winner who returns from wind surgery back on his last winning mark, well below form when last seen he may have benefitted from a break. Record fresh is moderate and he's likely to need this seasonal debut.
In fine form on joining this yard winning 2-3 on Fibresand just failing to capture a Southwell hat-trick when last seen. Record of 0-6 on turf plus an absence raise doubts about his chance although he does run off a lower mark on this surface.
Appears to be at his best on the AW at Newcastle over this trip having won three times there although he's without a success since February 2019. Unsuited by the track/trip when last seen at Southwell over 1m, turf record (0-6) discourages.
Took a couple of Fibresand handicaps earlier in the year over 7.1f adding to his promising start for this yard. Back on turf after three months off proved to be his undoing at Goodwood recently, may find this a little too tough.
Hard to make a case for offering little in two starts for this yard after arriving from Own Burrows. Looked to retain little ability at Beverley (8.5f, good/firm) recently beaten 29L and finishing last of 11.

Proud Archi (9/4), Start Time (11/2), Zip (7/1), Love Your Work (9/1), Kupa River (10/1), Upstaging (10/1), Twin Appeal (12/1), Kindly (14/1), Magical Effect (18/1), Indian Viceroy (20/1), Chosen World (22/1), De Bruyne Horse (25/1), Castle Quarter (25/1), Tamkeen (100/1)
As usual at Thirsk a competitive event over this trip in which they should go a fair gallop which will aid the cause of Proud Archi a good second here last time out and able to run off the same mark, he’s sure to go close if he gets pace in the race. TWIN APPEAL another C&D winner is narrowly preferred having shaped nicely already since racing resumed and looking far better than the result last time. There are other that should also be considered although their case would be stronger with market support – Kindly and Upstaging fall into that category. Love Your Work and Castle Quarter also have the ability to win a race like this but do have to prove themselves on turf.
