4 (4)	Run This Way Bay J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	J:David Nolan T:Paul Midgley	139	v	58-971	59	70	59	2d	—	—	-27	16.4	0.28/1	11/10 48%
Won with something to spare at Redcar on Tuesday; key player if repeating that form
1 (8)	Hurstwood Grey J:Mark Winn(3) T:Peter Niven	J:Mark Winn(3) T:Peter Niven	136	—	502-97	56	69	48	17d	—	—	-9	5.5	1.50/1	6/1 14%
Won this last year; one to be interested in if the ground dries
10 (11)	Fylingdale Bay J:Jason Hart T:Tim Easterby	J:Jason Hart T:Tim Easterby	128	—	10-097	48	71	49	12d	—	—	-6	2.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Could do with breaking better but has shown promise in big fields at Thirsk the last twice
7 (9)	Ernest Rutherford Bay J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	J:David Allan T:Tim Easterby	132	tp	70-406	52	66	51	17d	—	—	-5	2.4	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Has a regressive profile but ran okay last time and the step back up to 6f is worth a go
8 (7)	Variety Island Bay J:Cam Hardie T:Simon Whitaker	J:Cam Hardie T:Simon Whitaker	130	p	0-9916	50	66	56	17d	—	—	-6	2.5	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Positive efforts at Catterick the last twice; something to prove if slow ground prevails
3 (3)	Fircombe Hall Chestnut J:Connor Beasley T:Philip Kirby	J:Connor Beasley T:Philip Kirby	134	p	133719	54	67	47	17d	—	—	+5	11.2	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Two AW wins this spring but just 1-20 on grass and mid-division back on turf last time
11 (10)	Hard Solution Chestnut J:James Sullivan T:Ruth Carr	J:James Sullivan T:Ruth Carr	127	b	631785	47	68	41	13d	—	—	-1	5.3	4.00/1	16/1 6%
Won AW classified in March; some reasonable handicap form since but needs something extra
9 (5)	West End Lass Bay J:Lewis Edmunds T:Kevin Frost	J:Lewis Edmunds T:Kevin Frost	129	—	66508	49	59	-	27d	—	—	-3	1.1	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Soundly beaten this spring in both handicaps (6f, AW); has to raise her game; turf debut
5 (2)	Protest Rally Bay J:Daniel Tudhope T:Liam Bailey	J:Daniel Tudhope T:Liam Bailey	134	p	50-854	54	66	42	13d	—	—	-2	2.2	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Fair runs the last twice; each-way claims if handling conditions (unproven on slow turf)
2 (1)	Gunnerside Grey J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Grant Tuer	J:Benoit De La Sayette T:Grant Tuer	135	—	55075-	55	66	68	261d	—	—	-1	2.1	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Two wins last spring but patchy form from June onwards and returns from absence
NR (6)	Tilsworth Turf Chestnut J:TBC T:J R Jenkins	J: T:J R Jenkins	132	—	48781P	52	66	47	19d	—	—	—	6	—	—
Pulled up last time (reportedly took false step); 125-1 win on soft ground the time before
