Mereside Spark (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 5lbs
Or: 55

Good second in a 5f Beverley novice on final outing last season. Upped to 6f, showed more than previously in handicaps this year when fourth of 6 at Catterick 3 weeks ago, though was reported to have bled for second consecutive start.

Northern Tempest

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 8lbs
Or: 58

Got back to the pick of his 2-y-o form when third in handicap at Ripon at the end of May. Possibly found the race coming too soon when fourth of 8 at Wetherby 7 days later, so he could fare better eased 2 lb in the weights.

Prima Domina

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 59

Promising debut when runner-up over 6f at Newcastle in October but hasn't gone on from that effort in 3 starts since, faring no better sent handicapping when down the field here (5f) last month.

Auspicious

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: 53

Showed a good attitude when doubling his tally over this C&D early last month. Ran at least as well when neck second of 9 to Ganthorpe at Carlisle 22 days ago, even having been caught wide, and he makes plenty of appeal returned to this track.

Hares Bredth

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: 53

Stepped up on comeback run when third of 14 in race won by Auspicious over this C&D last month, despite having not been ideally placed. Ran poorly at Ripon last time, but no surprise to see him bounce back at this venue.

Charcon

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 12lbs
Or: 48

After 4 months off, finished closer than previously when 4 lengths sixth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle 12 days ago without managing to land a blow. Has something to find with visor now reached for.

Data Fata Secutus

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 8lbs
Or: 58

Placed twice this season, including when third over 5f here on penultimate start. In first-time visor, found little when well held at Wetherby (5.5f) 16 days ago, but she's one to note back here with cheekpieces now the choice of headgear.

Oasis Cover

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 59

After 5 months off, shaped well on turf/handicap debut when never-nearer third at Nottingham in May. Disappointed back on all-weather at Newcastle 10 days later, but the return to 6f promises to suit. Worth another chance.

Ganthorpe

Age: 3
Weight: 8st 13lbs
Or: 49

Took advantage of easing mark when opening account in 9-runner handicap at Carlisle 22 days ago by neck from Auspicious, though it was a race which set up for those from off the pace. Task is now to build on latest effort.

Timeform Verdict

AUSPICIOUS arrives in good heart, winning over this C&D before not seen to best effect when going close at Carlisle last time, so he is taken to get his head back in front. Next best could be the lightly-raced Oasis Cover, who looks interesting back up to 6f, ahead of Data Fata Secutus.

Betting Forecast

22/1 Muddy Nora, 14/1 Mereside Spark (Ire), 8/1 Northern Tempest, 28/1 Prima Domina, 4/1 Auspicious, 9/1 Hares Bredth, 18/1 Charcon, 14/1 Data Fata Secutus, 11/1 Oasis Cover, 7/2 Ganthorpe
