8/1 |
Keldeo
Record is 4-18, the most recent success at Pontefract (5f) last month; close fourth off this mark in higher grade over C&D (good to firm) eight days ago, showing that she's still in form; drawn widest but otherwise holds strong claims.

15/2 |
Ingleby Archie
Completed a 5f double last summer (maiden previously); inconsistent results since but is capable of being involved; runner-up off this mark at Thirsk (6f) on penultimate start.

- D Nolan / P T Midgley

4/1 |
Fierce
Dual sprint winner (AW/turf) for previous yard; couple of encouraging efforts this season for new stable, keeping-on fourth in higher grade over C&D (good) latest; enters the reckoning.

Ganesha
Belatedly regained the winning thread in March (5f, AW); has failed to repeat that form in two subsequent starts, looking less than straightforward returned to turf latest; others preferred.

- Joanna Mason / M & D Easterby

5/1 |
Miss Brazen
Losing spell goes back to her C&D success (off 7lb higher) two years ago, but she's attractively handicapped and has possibilities returned to this venue on seasonal debut; close third in most recent Beverley attempt; tongue-tie applied.

Maris Angel
Stagnated on AW in autumn/winter and now returns from four-month break; two attempts on turf have resulted in a success and close second, both over 5f at Redcar; still unexposed in this sphere and looks interesting off a workable mark.

Midnight Lir
Never landed a blow at Pontefract (race won by Keldeo) on reappearance, extending a losing run that goes back to 2023; certainly holds a good chance off current mark on best form, which includes a C&D win.

80/1 |
Crafty Spirit
Record of 1-11 for Clive Cox, the win over 6f on AW; sold for 16,000gns since last run but owner retains a share; given that he lacks recent match practice and drops to new trip, the market may prove best guide.

4/1 |
Opal Storm
Gradually back to form this season, close second at Doncaster (5f) most recently; built up a consistent record (44214) in C&D events last term, the success in August; receives weight all round and has solid claims.
