Pal Joey
Won at Newcastle (AW; from a similar mark) in January on his first attempt over 5f; less effective since, dwelling and failing to make his presence felt over C&D (tenth of 13; Class 3) latest; this race is easier and Paul Mulrennan is back aboard.

Tees Aggregates
Didn't have things go smoothly but stuck on positively down the outer when closing third (Canaria Queen second) at Ripon (5f, good) a fortnight ago; two of his three wins have been at tracks with a stiff uphill finish (Beverley and Leicester) and he's handicapped to go close at the least.

Mount Ruapehu
Justified favouritism at Southwell (6f) in April and pipped by Hi Lord over C&D (good) the following week; less competitive at Catterick (7f) and Carlisle (6f) on last two outings and the handicapper might have his measure.

Hi Lord
Headgear removed when he pounced late to beat Mount Ruapehu over C&D (good; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; ran to an identical level on RPRs when third here last week; should give his running at a track (form figures 2613) which suits.

South Parade
8lb lower than when last successful at Thirsk (5f Class 4, good to firm; 6-4 favourite) last August; struggled this season and reared at the start when in rear throughout (behind two of these) at Ripon latest.

Canaria Queen
In-form mare; twice successful this season, including at Musselburgh (5f, Class 6, good; from 5lb lower); runner-up at Ripon on last two outings (Tees Aggregates a close third on penultimate start); has no issues with this track; merits respect.

Highland Bear
Signs of ability in AW novice/maidens (5f-6f) but has looked something of a work in progress; taken out of her intended handicap debut at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last week because of unsuitable ground, so this projected softer surface could suit; best watched for the moment.
