Dropping to a workable mark now but since her second at York last July, there's not been much to cheer about; this ground another unknown and although she may strip fitter for a recent run, makes limited appeal.
Have to go back to 2018 to find last time he got hi head in front, and despite attracting support ran poorly earlier in the week at Thirsk; hard to find many positives, and ground possibly not ideal.
Comes here off the back of a decent effort at Doncaster earlier in the week, beaten a length in a similar contest; handles good to soft ground but below par on heavy at Nottingham last year, but at least is one of only a few in form.
Would win this on her very best form but is has been some time since she showed anything like that; handles the ground, might come on for a recent run at Goodwood and too well handicapped to discount totally.
Winner by a neck at Chepstow last week, that coming on quicker ground than he will face today, but he handles plenty of cut; 3lb higher today, but clearly in good heart and more likely to run his race than a few here.
Left Tim Easterby and has had two starts for new yard, running respectably at Wolverhampton before disappointing at Chepstow; however, loves soft/heavy and narrowly beaten only start at this track, so has plus points; could surprise.
Well backed to score at Chepstow (6f) last month, and duly obliged, but then ran poorly when again made favourite trying to follow up at the track, which only highlights his inconsistency; might want better ground than he faces here too.
Three wins in 36 starts, probably better known for all-weather exploits these days; pops up in his turn but hard to catch right, and this ground an unknown; yard at least going better now, which offers some hope.
Comes here on a workable mark and ran well on latest start, third over a trip probably too far at Hamilton (1m); handles plenty of cut, and this drop back to 6f looks interesting; one with a live chance here.
Made all to win a race in Dresden last year but has shown very little in three starts for this yard, and was well held at Thirsk last month; tongue-tie now given a try but simply needs to start showing more.
Sprang a 125-1 surprise when winning a 6f novice race (in soft ground) at Nottingham last year but hasn't gone on from that; on plus side, handles the ground and might be best caught fresh, so can't be totally discounted here.
Won a very moderate contest at Newcastle in February and reappearance effort here last month best forgiven, as she got upset in the stalls; overall form suggests he needs more though, and ground an unknown.
No win machine but has come back this season with a bang, building on her Chepstow effort to score by a head at Ripon latest; different ground and a 2lb rise are the new questions to answer, but is in good heart.
Handles this ground, as he showed when scoring at 50-1 at Catterick last October but that's his only win in 15 starts and he was well beaten at Thirsk earlier in the week; looks an unlikely winner.

Ey Up Its Mick (5/2), Madrinho (5/1), Redrosezorro (11/2), The Golden Cue (13/2), Good Answer (8/1), Peachey Carnehan (17/2), Lady Calcaria (9/1), Airglow (10/1), Redesdale Rebel (11/1), Rich Approach (12/1), Quench Dolly (16/1), Lady Monica (16/1), Shortbackandsides (33/1), Zebulon (33/1), Dormio (40/1), Sharrabang (66/1), Bevsboy (100/1)
Plenty of these have something to prove on the ground. That's not the case for EY UP IT'S MICK , who loves the conditions and will appreciate this drop back to 6f after not getting home over Hamilton's extended mile earlier in the week. Madrinho is one of only a few ot come into this off the back of a win and should go well, and at bigger prices, Quench Dolly, Shortbackandsides and Lady Monica are all worthy of consideration.
