0-6 since emphatic win here in April but has remained in form; not discounted
11 (16)	Eternal Sunshine b Lauren Young(7) · Jim Goldie	Lauren Young(7) · Jim Goldie	130	—	292201	80	94	84	8d	—	—	+11	25.9	9/2 18%
C&D win last week made it 2-2 for her at Thirsk; up 6lb but that may not stop her
1 (7)	Dark Cloud Rising b David Nolan · David O'Meara	David Nolan · David O'Meara	141	—	430912	93	94	83	8d	—	—	+16	26	8/1 11%
Chased home Eternal Sunshine here eight days ago; leading contender once more

Disappointing favourite at Newmarket but previously progressive and may still be unexposed
9 (2)	Lorna B b Dale Swift · Seb Spencer	Dale Swift · Seb Spencer	131	—	-16112	83	95	73	27d	—	—	+21	29.6	10/1 9%
3-6; runner-up over 7f last time and this switch back to sprinting looks a positive move
5 (13)	Diligently b David Egan · Clive Cox	David Egan · Clive Cox	133	—	1-2091	85	96	66	19d	—	—	+11	17.5	14/1 7%
3yo; surged back to form to win at Windsor and doesn't have many miles on the clock
3 (9)	Secret Guest gr Harrison Shaw · Bryan Smart	Harrison Shaw · Bryan Smart	138	p	107205	88	95	87	8d	—	—	+7	13.7	12/1 8%
C&D winner in May and fifth to Eternal Sunshine last time after slow start; not ruled out
10 (11)	Winged Messenger b Ryan Sexton · Julie Camacho	Ryan Sexton · Julie Camacho	130	hp	322121	80	95	84	22d	—	—	+24	30.2	12/1 8%
Thriving on racing; 6lb rise for Epsom win demands another career best but that's possible
14 (4)	Juan Les Pins b Frederick Larson · Michael Appleby	Frederick Larson · Michael Appleby	128	—	065358	78	96	95	30d	—	—	+4	10.4	12/1 8%
Best on good or firmer; well capable of winning off this mark given suitable conditions
7 (8)	Manila Scouse b David Allan · Tim Easterby	David Allan · Tim Easterby	132	t	077616	82	95	90	56d	—	—	+11	16.6	16/1 6%
Won over C&D in July and still on fair mark but he's none too consistent
13 (14)	Irish Nectar b Shane Gray · Kevin Ryan	Shane Gray · Kevin Ryan	128	p	8-2905	78	93	90	45d	—	—	+4	8.2	20/1 5%
All three wins on soft; serious contender if there's sufficient ease in the ground
6 (10)	Woven ch Paul Mulrennan · Michael Dods	Paul Mulrennan · Michael Dods	132	—	40-906	82	93	70	47d	—	—	+5	9.2	20/1 5%
Veteran; met trouble last time; dangerous, especially if the ground is softer than good
12 (3)	Mister Sox ch Sean Kirrane · Tim Easterby	Sean Kirrane · Tim Easterby	130	p	070715	80	93	88	21d	—	—	+12	15.5	25/1 4%
Four wins in 6f handicaps this year but poor record at Thirsk is a concern
8 (5)	Pianoforte b Rowan Scott · Julie Camacho	Rowan Scott · Julie Camacho	132	—	/3-215	82	94	77	19d	—	—	+8	10.9	33/1 3%
No immediate promise on stable/handicap debut when fifth of eight at Ayr; more needed
15 (6)	Yes I'm Mali b/br Barry McHugh · Richard Fahey	Barry McHugh · Richard Fahey	127	—	-24965	79	93	89	49d	—	—	+6	9	33/1 3%
Probably didn't stay 7f last time but needs to raise his game all the same
16 (1)	Tiriac b Oisin McSweeney · Paul Midgley	Oisin McSweeney · Paul Midgley	122	—	-05860	72	94	75	8d	—	—	+4	6.2	50/1 2%
Below par this year but has had excuses; loves the mud so would benefit from rain
