Winner of this race last year but struggled for form in first four runs this season. Third of 9 in a 5f handicap at Catterick (10/1) 12 days ago, making headway late on despite a poor start. Has winning form at this course and distance and could be ready to build on latest effort.

Ran well over C&D in May (3rd of 6) but was 14th of 16 in 6f handicap here (25/1) 21 days ago, never involved on good to soft ground. Returns to 5f but again wouldn't want the ground on the easy side.

SKI ANGEL has won twice over course and distance and can bounce back from a solid fourth at Hamilton, where early keenness impacted her finishing effort. Zuffolo, last year's winner, showed signs of returning to form when third at Catterick (runner-up has won since) while Royal Duke races off a handy mark but his slow starts remain a concern.
