On a losing sequence but not discredited when seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 35 days ago. Needs to build on it from 1 lb "wrong" in the weights however.

Off 5 months before a fading sixth of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f) 14 days ago. This fair 7f scorer should build on it here.

It's now sixteen runs since last win in 2022 but she was too free when eighth of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (7f) on his return 23 days ago.

Dual winner of 7f classified events at Newcastle in 2025. In decent nick this season, fifth of 14 in handicap over C&D last time. Bit more needed from 1 lb out of the handicap though.

Losing run mounting up and only thirteenth of 18 in handicap at Thirsk (6f) 37 days ago. This course winner is not easy to make a case for.

Took this 12 months ago and she comes here in good nick, third of 8 in handicap over C&D 18 days ago. Well in the mix off an easing mark.

Scored at Doncaster last April but spent the second half of the season in the doldrums for Gemma Tutty. Last of 14 on yard debut in handicap at Beverley (1m) on return so has it to prove.

Lightly-raced sort who underwent a breathing operation before coming in last of 16 at Doncaster (7f) on her return last month. Major step forward is required.

Reliable sort who gained a deserved success in 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (1m) 10 days ago. Should go very well again nudged up 2 lb with able 7 lb claimer Jake Dickson again up.

Sole success came over C&D last July. Back on track with fifth of 12 in handicap here (6f) 18 days ago. Not out of things eased 1 lb.

Failed to build on a promising Thirsk third (7f) when eighth of 16 in handicap at Doncaster (7f) last month, though he wasn't best drawn there and is not written off.
Timeform Verdict
Lots with chances but recent Hamilton scorer PERFIDIA could prove the answer with talented claimer Jake Dickson again taking 7 lb off Tim Easterby's consistent gelding. Last year's winner Mayo County could emerge as the main danger off an easing mark with Ey Up He's A Star and Due Respect also in the picture in this very open handicap.
Betting Forecast
28/1 Martin's Brig (Ire), 17/2 Patontheback (Ire), 18/1 Oscar's Sister (Ire), 14/1 Elettaria (Ire), 16/1 Brave Empire (Ire), 15/2 Mayo County, 33/1 Bantz (Ire), 20/1 Mecca's Symphony, 3/1 Perfidia (Ire), 15/2 Due Respect (Ire), 6/1 Ey Up He's A Star
