Iris Dancer (M)
Hamilton specialist who added 3 more wins there last year. Promising return at Pontefract (5f) and this is easier than her subsequent Thirsk assignment.

Taygar (M)
Goes well here (defied a 6 lb higher mark in C&D handicap last summer) and should have come on for her Thirsk return (closely matched with Iris Dancer). A bigger performance could be forthcoming.

Filly's Last Lady (M)
A dual 5f/6f scorer for Keiran Burke last summer. Hasn't yet fired in 3 starts for current yard, though making her second run of the year she possibly still needed the outing when fifth of 8 at Catterick 4 weeks ago.

The Gay Blade (G)
FAV
Thrived at Newcastle earlier this year, winning 3 6f handicaps (including for this rider latest). Went very close to landing a fourth success from his last 5 starts at Musselburgh (7f) last week and got to be respected again after 2 lb ris…

Tarlac (G)
Won at Ripon from 8 lb higher a year ago and seems to be working his way back up to peak fitness, never on terms at Catterick 4 weeks ago. A market move would be interesting.

Summerstorms Dream (F)
Made a bit more impact in sprint handicaps here in July, well backed and still looking green when last seen. Looks the type who could take off this year.

Colour Code (M)
Got off the mark in Newcastle classified event in August but can't be relied on (refused to race back there in March/bolted to post and withdrawn at Hamilton on Sunday).
