Thunder Star (M)
[B]
Form has been mixed since her Doncaster success last spring. Shaped better than the result at the same course on return but went backwards from that effort when last of 6 at Yarmouth 2 months ago. Change of headgear with blinkers now back …

Military Girl (F)
FAV
Cashed in on a career-low mark on second start of the season at Ayr 2 weeks ago. Back up 5 lb but she's clearly in good order.

J Street (F)

Signed off for Ivan Furtado with a good second at Wolverhampton (5f) in October and caught the eye all 3 starts for this yard, again denied a clear passage when third at Southwell 2 weeks ago. Looks more than capable of exploiting this mar…

Tanjen (F)
Won first 2 starts on all-weather last year and ran best race on turf when second at Leicester in September. Shaped better than distance beaten suggests when fifth on return at Goodwood (5f) last month but she never looked happy at Beverle…

Pull The Rug (F)
Won 6f Leicester nursery (good) last autumn. Caught wide and likely she needed the run on reappearance 3 weeks ago so this will reveal more back in distance.

Startling (F)
Four-time winner over 5f for David O'Meara. Weakened out of it on reappearance/stable debut over 6f at Redcar 18 days ago and no surprise she's back over the minimum trip.

Dragon Spin (F)
Has never looked short on speed and made second start back this spring a winning one when making all at Nottingham 4 weeks ago. Up 6 lb but she's not yet exposed, so she's on the shortlist.

Solid Bond (F)

Ended last season badly out of sorts so hopes rest on a breathing operation working the trick back from 7 months off.

Cheerleader (F)
Winner at a huge price on last season's reappearance at Redcar and proved it was no fluke when following up 11 days later. Restricted to just 3 runs that summer, running poorly twice but she's since had a breathing operation and is clearly…

Fille Unique (F)
Built on earlier promise to land 7-runner handicap at Musselburgh (5f) in April by ½ length from Data Fata Secutus. Confirmed she's in top form when just ahead of that rival again at Redcar 11 days ago, coming up a neck shy. On the shortli…

Star Marian (F)
After 8 months off she showed much-improved form when making all in a Wolverhampton maiden in March. In nothing like the same form both starts since at that venue, though.

Data Fata Secutus (F)

Ran her best race when third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm) on penultimate start but flattered to deceive in first-time visor when well held at Wetherby (5.5f) on Thursday.
