Mereside Princess (F)
FAV
[B]
Has had plenty of racing and ran up to her best to open her account in 1m Carlisle handicap 3 weeks ago, settling better than of late. Up 4 lb but can make another bold bid.

Longevity (F)
Well held in 3 maidens, including on return at Beverley (7.4f). Could do better now handicapping at this low level, certainly bred to (half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Birchwood).

Lope Y Linda (F)
FAV
Improved to get off the mark in 7f Catterick handicap a fortnight ago under 7-lb claimer, going with enthusiasm. Back up 4 lb but a few in behind in that race have run well since and she can figure prominently again.

Saxon Gem (F)
Rather tapped for toe on her handicap debut at Carlisle (6f, 18/1) last week and this step up in trip looks a good move.

Failed to show any ability in 4 outings last year, including a C&D handicap.

Royal Baroness (F)
Showed a bit more than previously on return/handicap debut when a never-nearer fourth to Mereside Princess at Carlisle. Should strip fitter for that and might get closer.
