Blue Train is respected back off a favourable mark, while Pretty Spirited (second choice) has run well in both handicaps since reappearing. Yesterday's Gone makes the shortlist if building on her latest turf effort, but CLASSIC CAUSE is given another chance. He had possible excuses for his latest Nottingham performance, but had previously made such an encouraging return at Southwell, form which has since been boosted.[David Bellingham]

Has made the frame a few times, but isn't getting any closer to winning despite edging down the weights; hopes pinned on this slightly stiffer test and the switch to cheekpieces from a visor making a difference.
Ran with credit when third of nine in a 0-70 at Windsor (1m, good) last time and back off the same mark as when beaten a nose there (1m, good to firm) in April; half-brother to a useful Tapeta winner; respected.
Surrounded by subsequent winners when beaten a nose and a head into third of eight on his reappearance/handicap debut at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in April and had possible excuses when well held at Nottingham (1m, good) nine days ago; respected back on AW.
Won a Newcastle maiden (7f, Tapeta) last summer for Phillp Makin, but seems to have lost his way including in both starts on turf since returning for this yard in April; return to AW needs to bring about a resurgence.
Well held in first four starts over 6f/7f (three on the AW), but much better when third of 11 at Carlisle (7.7f, good to firm) last month; races off the same mark and each-way claims if as effective back on Tapeta.
Split subsequent winners when beaten a head on her reappearance/handicap debut at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) in April and again ran well when fourth of 12 at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) later in month (winner landed his next three starts); respected off 1lb lower.
