Champonie (F)
FAV
Won over 6f on all-weather on first 2 starts. Didn't look ideally suited by the drop to 5f when sixth of 12 on handicap debut here 22 days ago and remains open to progress back at this trip. A bold show is likely from a handy draw.

Cherry Baker (F)
Produced a useful effort when coming with a strong run from the rear to win a C&D handicap 24 days ago by a length from the reopposing Ruby's Angel. Still on a workable mark but she'll likely need things to fall right again from stall 10.

Tarot (F)
Fairly useful form last year, making all in 6f Kempton novice when last seen in October. Has the potential for better in handicaps for her leading yard but stall 11 is far from ideal on reappearance.

Progressive last summer but struggled at the end of last season and also well held on Newmarket reappearance 4 weeks ago.

Zighy (F)
Took 5 attempts to get off the mark but big step forward when following up on handicap bow at Southwell (6f) on reappearance in April. Faded late on when fourth over 7f at Yarmouth since. The return to 6f may suit and one of 2 strong conte…

Ruby's Angel (F)
York nursery winner last season. Stepped up on that form when length second of 12 to Cherry Baker on C&D reappearance. leading until the final 100 yds. Had the inside stall on that occasion but it'll be a lot to tougher to repeat the front…

Hayynah (F)
[P]
Put experience to good use to get off the mark in 9-runner Southwell novice (5f) in February. Well held in handicap back there since. Handily drawn back on turf but others are still more persuasive.

Saffron Dandy (F)
Made a successful handicap/all-weather debut at Wolverhampton in January and followed up at Lingfield (6f). Has found life tougher since, although she seemingly failed to handle the undulations of Ripon back on turf last time.

Evie Ross (F)
[B]
Much improved from debut when scoring comfortably in a 5f Chepstow maiden in last August. Not disgraced on form when ninth of 12 in 6f Salisbury handicap on reappearance 24 days ago but it underlines she needs improvement from her mark.

Trust Amy (F)
C&D nursery winner on soft last September. Flying too high in listed company at Haydock on last week's reappearance and should be a lot more competitive back in a handicap, particularly as she's well drawn.

Rogue Temptation (F)

A fairly useful 6f winner at 2 yrs. Creditable fifth of 13 on Ripon reappearance but failed to build on it when down the field at Ascot 3 weeks later.

Fizzy Cristal (F)
Second 6f Newcastle win when seeing off 7 rivals 11 days ago, showing a good attitude. Still looks on a workable mark if as effective back on turf.
