Comment: Not at her best at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) last month, but ran well when third of ten at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) the time before; three of her four wins have come over 1m-1m2f here and she drops to this level for the first time; high on list.

Comment: April foal by Palace Pier; £8,000 2yo; dam 5f/6f 2yo winner (including Group 3; RPR 107), sister to 5f 2yo winner Mia Diva, half-sister to 5f 2yo winner Crazyland, out of Listed-placed 5f-1m winning half-sister to German 1,000 Guineas winner Electrelane; some appeal on breeding but stable not a noted source of winning 2yo newcomers.

She's My Hobby

Jockey: Billy Garritty Trainer: M & D Easterby Age/Wt: 2/9-0

Comment: April foal by Advertise; 1,000gns foal, 4,500gns yearling; sister to 6f/7f winner Travis (RPR 80), half-sister to winners Ecclesiastical (5f/6f including AW; 82), Banana (5f; 82) and Headland (7f turf 2yo/1m AW; 81); dam 6f 2yo winner (82), half-sister to useful 6f winner Shallow Hal; stable only has the occasion winning 2yo newcomer, so probably best watched unless backed.

Jockey: Oliver Stammers Trainer: Grant Tuer Age/Wt: 4/10-1 F: 8-59326 OR: 64

5/1

Comment: Dual turf winner who is off the same mark as when fourth of 14 in this race last year, but finished behind two of these when sixth of nine at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago; needs a bit more.

Almutraf

Jockey: D Swift Trainer: B Ellison Age/Wt: 3/8-13 F: 7-7195 OR: 54

11/1

Comment: Modest efforts on turf in his last two starts, but had previously made a successful return from five months off over this C&D; only 1lb higher so each-way claims now returned here.

Fletchers Dream

Jockey: T Eaves Trainer: A D Brown Age/Wt: 4/10-1 F: 8-08187 OR: 64

16/1

Comment: Dual course winner over 6f but undoubtedly inconsistent, his Musselburgh win in a first-time visor (7f, good to firm) in June standing out above his other recent efforts; hopes pinned on another change of headgear sparking a response.

Jockey: Kaiya Fraser Trainer: G Tutty Age/Wt: 3/9-8 F: 613029 OR: 63

20/1

Comment: Form has been up and down since returned to turf, but has twice been placed off this mark in recent months; scored over C&D in January and can't be ruled out completely.

22/1

Comment: Landed a Redcar novice for Karl Burke (6f, soft) last October, but his form in handicaps has regressed since returning in April; makes his debut for a new yard (same owners) and needs a turnaround.

Marsh Meadow

Jockey: Barry McHugh Trainer: A Keatley Age/Wt: 3/9-3 F: 34559 OR: 58

25/1

Comment: Has shown a little ability as when beaten 3l into fifth of nine behind Almutraf on handicap debut over C&D in June; lesser effort at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) since then, though, and needs to benefit from the first-time tongue-tie.

Comment: Big prices and well held in three starts over 6f on turf during the summer; worth a market check on AW/handicap debut.

40/1

Comment: Dual Polytrack winner (7f/1m) for Charlie Johnston whose form in nine starts for this yard has been patchy; neck defeat over 1m here in May came in a slowly run contest and more will be needed to come out best in this.

Comment: C&D winner last October and narrowly doubled his tally at Redcar (7f, good to firm) in June; that form has worked out well and respected off just 2lb higher.
