Comfortable winner here last week and essentially 2lb lower with a claimer enlisted

In-form front-runner who could get the run of things on this track

Debut form in April is her best; only 7-2 on handicap debut, so worth another chance

Pretty consistent in the main this year but looks handicapped up to his best

Disappointing at York last time but has shown before that he can bounce back
