12/1
Three-time winner in 2017, and just 1lb above her last winning mark when snapping losing run at Musselburgh last time. Should continue in form, but a 4lb rise may well be enough to stop her.

Just 1lb higher than when winning over C&D in April, and ran well after a break when fourth here recently. Could go well, although turf form has all come with ease underfoot, and forecast going is a concern.

15/2
Has been running well since wind surgery in the summer, and better than the result when seventh of 14 to Hawaam over C&D last time, racing in unfavoured group toward stands side. On opposite flank here.

9/2
Close fourth in a C&D handicap won by Maygold on penultimate start, and in a much better race when mid-field at Catterick last time. Far from disgraced there, and claims if cheekpieces have a positive effect.

Dr Dorov30
Age: 5|  Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: Ian Williams| OR:  73| D
3/1
Has won three from four in handicaps this year, and coped with drop to 5f when staying on late to win at Catterick last time. Climbing the weights, but still has more to offer, and much respected.

12/1
Won twice on AW in early months of the year, but yet to really sparkle on turf despite some respectable efforts. Ran well when third at Wolverhampton last time, but looks a shade too high in the weights on balance. Starts out for new yard.

25/1
Prolific on AW at the start of the year but his turf form has been a little patchy. One of his better efforts when fourth at Yarmouth last time, but more required to lift this.

Back to his last winning mark, and lost his rider through no fault of his own on penultimate start, but latest fourth at Catterick suggests he's still in a bit of a lull.

In good form without winning in the summer, runner-up three times before a fine fourth of 14 at Ascot. Flopped at Salisbury last time, but overall record suggests she will bounce back.

Yorkshiredebut31

Won twice last year and while her seasonal return was a respectable effort at Wolverhampton in March, she was off again after that, and hasn't looked in much form on both turf starts since resuming last month.

Won an apprentice handicap at Ripon in April, but struggling to get competitive on recent starts, despite getting a bit of rope from the handicapper. Others preferred in current mood.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: J Balding| OR:  68| CD

Decidedly hit-or-miss this season, scoring over C&D in June, but running poorly on both starts since. Off since early August, and likely to need the run even if back to form.

20/1
Both handicap wins have come at Musselburgh, the latest in an amateur handicap earlier this month. Up just 3lb for that workmanlike success, but feeling is he'll be vulnerable in this higher grade.

Ran best race for a while when third over C&D behind Maygold at the start of the month, but has followed that with a pair of lesser efforts and isn't one to make excuses for.

DR DORO hasn't looked back this year, and did well to get up late at Catterick last time. She should continue to be hard to beat at this level. Suwaan ran well on the wrong side here last time, and has what looks a more favourable draw now, so is respected along with Madame Bounty, who had been running really well until disappointing at Salisbury last time.
