Pop The Cork Landed a gamble in Beverley handicap in June (now 5lb higher); out of form since and stone last latest.
Somesession In fair form but looks weighted up to best and has poor draw.
Pop Shop On a long losing sequence but has plummeted down the weights last two seasons; entitled to improve for belated return and must go well from low draw with Fallon booked.
Baron Crocodile Has slipped 21lb in handicap since start of campaign and not beaten far latest; not without a squeak with yard in form.
Sealed By Fate (IRE) No show of late and has unfavourable draw.
Grand Estate Has become disappointing.
Impaldi (IRE) Poor maiden who has little chance of reversing recent Thirsk form with Upper Chamber on revised terms.
Bint Royal (IRE) No serious chance on recent form.
High Esteem Yet to win on turf and needs more give in the ground.
Upper Chamber Took advantage of favourable draw when decisive winner of lady riders' selling handicap at Thirsk latest; has to defy 6lb penalty and now looks vulnerable from middle draw here.
Somers Heath (IRE) Sole victory was under today's rider but best form over slightly further and badly drawn; others preferred.
Tong Road Difficult to recommend on recent efforts.
Meranti Thrown in on best form and fair effort latest but will find return to minimum too sharp.
Southern Dominion Last turf victory in 1998 and below best this term.
Gad Yakoun Has shown very little this term.
Beau Tudor (IRE) Has had problems and recent form is uninspiring.
Eager Angel (IRE) Very poor maiden who will need to show significant improvement to figure.
Shatin Beauty On a very fair mark and has low berth with good apprentice booked but well beaten in sellers/claimers of late.
Emma Thomas Hard to fancy.
Waterfront (IRE) Poor performer who will struggle even at this level.
Gormire Faces tough task from 4lb out of handicap.
Swynford Dream Closely matched with Pop The Cork on Beverley form (1lb better for half-a-length beating) but high draw a concern.
We're Not Joken Below form this term and now wears blinkers for first time.
