Maynora (G)
Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Pontefract (6f, soft) 40 days ago. 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent a very bold follow-up bid.

Solar Cooper (G)
[P1]
Limited impact since debut but latest run over C&D 3 weeks easy to excuse in isolation.

Carnation Queen (F)
[P1]
Winner of a valuable seller at York last summer but has found the going harder in 4 subsequent outings. Cheekpieces applied for the first time.

I'm Dan Dare (G)
FAV
[P]
Left previous form well behind when narrow second of 14 fitted with cheekpieces at Redcar 10 days ago. Has to be of major interest up 2 lb.

Luck Money (F)
Regressive form in 3 starts last autumn but handicaps more suitable back from a beak. Market may prove useful.

Call Me By My Name (G)
Modest maiden for James Horton and well held starting out for new yard 3 weeks ago.

Kode Grey (G)
Unable to make an impact in 3 starts so much more needed now handicapping kept to a sprint trip.

Battenburg Belle (F)
Possibly flattered when third of 14 in a handicap at Pontefract last month given she hasn't come close to that effort before or since.

Dance Hello (F)
Looks very limited on early evidence but almost certainly needed March's return to action.
