69 Expert View: Improved a little on recent form back on AW landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell last time; effective 5f, acts on most and AW; remains well treated on old form, chance in this, stiff track could suit.
Form Snapshot: Successful twice at 5f on soft ground and on the all-weather. A winner at 10-3 at Southwell over 5f on her latest outing earlier this month, beating Startling by 3/4l. Carries a 5lb penalty today for that success.
59 Expert View: Yard won this last year; below form up in class well beaten in a handicap here latest; cheekpieces first time; enjoys making it; effective 5/6f, acts on any but suited by cut; has dropped to 5lb below last winning mark, but needs to bounce back.
Form Snapshot: He has won four times at 5f on good and soft ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 12l behind Solar Aclaim at 80-1 when seventh of 8 on his latest outing over this course and distance (good to soft) earlier this month. He is wearing cheekpieces for the first time.
67 Expert View: No obvious excuse beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap here last time; trainer in form; effective 5/6f, likes soft, acts on good; unreliable.
Form Snapshot: Has won eight races from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to soft to heavy. Finished 4 1/2l behind Iris Dancer when last of 6 at 4-1 on his latest outing here over 6f (good to soft) earlier this month.
63 Expert View: Scored by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Pontefract penultimate start; every chance, ran roughly to form fourth beaten 3l off 59 last time, 2lb higher here; effective 5/6f, acts on good, best with cut; in form C&D winner.
Form Snapshot: Winner of six races from 5f to 6f on ground varying from good to soft. Finished 3l behind Toptime when fourth of 6 at 3-1 on his latest outing at Nottingham over 5f (soft) earlier this month.
69 Expert View: Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; scored by 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle in April; ran to form down in trip second beaten 3/4l off 57 last time, same mark here; effective 5-7f, acts on good and AW; needs to settle better but threat if doing so, unexposed at 5f.
Form Snapshot: A winner at 6f on the all-weather. Beaten 3/4l by Dontwaste A Moment when second of 6 at 4-1 on her latest outing at Newcastle over 5f earlier this month.
64 Expert View: Scored by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark here penultimate start; far too free eighth beaten 6l off 51 last time, 2lb lower here; top course trainer; effective 5/6f, acts on good to soft, good and AW; likes it here, inconsistent.
Form Snapshot: Successful twice at 6f on good to soft ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 6l behind Emperor's Son at 11-1 when last of 8 on his latest outing here over 6f (good) earlier this month.
Impressor and Doon The Glen would have their chances enhanced if any rain were to arrive, although last week's Southwell winner J Street and Pivotal Terms probably have stronger chances based on recent form. They can figure strongly in a competitive race for the grade. Preference, however, is for THORNABY PEARL, who is versatile regarding the ground and he may be the one best suited to coping with the stiff uphill finish.
PIVOTAL TERMS finished runner up off this mark on her first attempt at 5f last time and is expected to go a place better here. She was a winner off 2lb lower on the AW over the winter and should be suited by this stiff track. Last time out winner J Street looks the obvious danger as she remains well treated on her best form despite a 5lb rise. Thornaby Pearl arrives in good form so should also be competitive.
