Thornaby Annie (F)
[H]
Progressing well and twice finished runner-up before finding more on first try at 1m to go one better at Wetherby 17 days ago. Claimer back on board to try and negate 4 lb rise in the weights and she looks set to go well once more.

Mayflower Billy (G)
[P]
Progressed when runner-up over 1m at Doncaster in May but limitations exposed in deeper race when fifth of 10 at Newbury 21 days ago. Needs to take a step forward in this company.

Storm Esme (F)
Won twice as a juvenile but has gone the wrong way this year and now tries 1m with plenty to prove.

Empirical (G)

[P]
Shaped very well in first-time cheekpieces when third of 7 on handicap debut over C&D in May, clocking a fast finishing sectional behind one who has scored since. Looks particularly well treated from same mark here and holds outstanding cl…

Sahara Magic (F)
Won on debut last November but down the field in 5 runs since. Step up in trip not an obvious move given his free-going ways and hard to make a case for.

Albertini Star (F)
[H1]
Absent since finishing down the field on all-weather debut at Southwell in November. Now makes handicap debut in first-time hood and isn't easy to weigh up. Betting may guide.

Mereside Princess (F)
[B]
Won handicaps at Carlisle in May and Musselburgh in June. Good second of 7 at latter track 10 days ago and able to race off same mark here (due to be 5 lb higher in future) so will take some pegging back at a track that should suit her sty…

Showed promise when fourth at Redcar in April but last 2 runs have been poor. Cheekpieces back on but looks best opposed.
