Age: 11| Weight: 10-5| J: Mrs Emily Roberts| T: T D Easterby| OR: 66| CD

5/2

Three-time C&D winner. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (13f, good, 4/1) 4 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back down in trip. Bounce back needed.

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Miss Amy Collier⁽⁵⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 56| D

10/3

Thirteen runs since last win in 2019. Went close on his Ayr reappearance and possibly best not to judge him too harshly on his subsequent defeat at Haydock.

Form: 6705-26

Possible Ambition¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Miss A Deniel| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 66

4/1

Fair form. Respectable third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 11/1) 13 days ago. Less exposed than a lot of this opposition.

Form: 5574-83

Jamih²⁴⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Miss S L Bowen⁽³⁾| T: Miss T Jackson| OR: 54| D

17/2

Thirteen runs since last win in 2018. Below par on AW at Newcastle when last seen in the autumn. Peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 8 months off.

Form: 036277-

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Amie Waugh| T: Stef Keniry| OR: 65| C

6f course winner for Brian Ellison last June. Ended her 2-y-o campaign with a below-par run at Newcastle in October. Up significantly in trip on return for new stable.

17/2

One win from 26 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (10f, good to firm, 9/2) 13 days ago. Capable of having a say.

DRAGONS WILL RISE had an excuse at Thirsk so may be worth siding with to resume his progression back at the scene of his latest win in April. Possible Ambition, one of two 3-y-os in the line-up, may pull out a bit more for the longer trip and provide the chief threat ahead of Point of Honour.
