Verdict
SOLE SPIRIT was much improved following 6 months off (also gelded) when opening his account with a bit to spare at Doncaster 6 weeks ago. He may well be up to defying a 3 lb higher mark with further progress distinctly possible on the back of just 5 starts. Uncle Sam ran well on his first start for new connections when second over C&D 6 days ago and he's an obvious danger. Get Up Everybody and Jeany May complete the shortlist.

VerdictFair maiden for Andrew Balding who proved easy to back and was never in the hunt starting out for new yard when sixth of 7 in handicap at Chester (5.1f, good to firm, 33/1) 13 days ago, outpaced and never involved. Return to 6f can likely help now dropped into class 6 company.

VerdictFair filly who has proved more miss than hit following a promising reappearance effort, coming in eleventh of 15 in handicap at York (5.4f, good, 25/1) 14 days ago. Drop back down in class is an obvious plus at least and she's on a workable mark.

Verdict16/1 and blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good) 21 days ago, weakening final 1f. Needs a couple of these to falter.- 4. Get Up EverybodyJ: David NolanT: Paul MidgleyF: 99-4453

VerdictLightly-raced maiden who matched his previous best despite again not looking straightforward when third of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 21 days ago, hanging left under pressure. Can play a part on recent evidence if proving more tractable. - 5. Sole SpiritJ: Harrison ShawT: Bryan SmartF: 068P-1

VerdictLittle to shout about in 4 runs as a juvenile yet, off 6 months/gelded, proved himself an improved model when winning 8-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, firm) 42 days ago, leading last ½f and running on. Had a bit in hand then and this low-mileage sort is of interest again from a 3 lb higher mark.

VerdictBest effort to date when second of 11 in handicap at Redcar (6f, firm) in June but not in same form in 2 runs since, albeit racing wide when sixth of 10 in handicap at Ripon (6f, soft) 20 days ago. Mark has fallen 2 lb ahead of this and better showing not ruled out.- 7. Uncle SamJ: Kieran O'NeillT: David ThompsonF: 7398741-2

VerdictSigned off his time with Kevin Ryan with a victory at Newcastle (6f) in October and improved further after 10 months off when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago, every chance final 1f and keeping on. Should be competitive again.

VerdictModest maiden who again ran below the pick of this season's form when eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good, 28/1) 14 days ago, pulling hard. Will need to settle much better if she's to play a part kept to this trip.- Unnamed Favourite
