15/8
Promising sort. Much improved when scoring at Windsor (8.1f) last month and followed up with the minimum of fuss over the same C&D (soft) 10 days ago. 6 lb penalty may not prevent the hat-trick.

Fifth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Redcar (10f, heavy) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Others look better treated.

Upped his game when making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 16 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and will be a big player if reproducing that form on turf.

Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at this course (7f, soft). Off 8 months. Improvement required on handicap debut.

7/2
Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, first run since leaving Richard Hannon when good third of 12 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Entitled to build on that.

10/1
Still looking for first success but posted creditable second of 4 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, soft) on return 12 days ago, albeit flattered by proximity to winner. Not out of things.

Forecasts

Sparks Fly (15/8), Yeoman (11/4), Hale End (7/2), Rievaulx Raver (8/1), Valstar (10/1), Sea In The Dark (14/1)

Verdict

SPARKS FLY has looked a different proposition since upped in trip and switched to turf. She should take the beating here. Hale End made a good start for his new yard at Beverley last month and is feared most.
