Call Me Betty (F)
A 2-time winner on the all-weather, latest at Newcastle (7f) in October. Last of 14 in handicap over the C&D (9/1) 28 days ago. Has a bit to prove from this mark at present.

Magic Boy (G)
Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (28/1) at Redcar (7f, good) when last seen in November. Just up 2 Ib for that success and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop in trip on return.

Ran Amok (G)
[T]
Won handicap at Doncaster (6f) last summer, though proved rather miss than hit otherwise in 2025. Yard going well and cannot be discounted down in grade despite a near 7-month absence.

Mr Dreamseller (G)
[H]
Winner of a 6f novice at Wolverhampton in February. In first-time hood, got upset in stalls beforehand when seventh of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 16/1) 16 days ago. Has yet to kick on since sent handicapping and has questions to an…

[T]
Lightly-raced gelding. In first-time hood, ninth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good, 12/1) 19 days ago. The headgear is quickly discarded but needs a return to his best to feature.

Surprised (F)
Hasn't improved since sent handicapping but shaped better than distance beaten suggests when sixth of 8 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 66/1) 7 days ago, unsuited by the drop in trip. Is kept to 6f and will need a strongly-run race to …

Raft Up (G)
Won at Southwell (6f) in April and followed up in 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago, holding on gamely. Is on a career-high mark but can't be ignored in this form.

Mount Ruapehu (G)
[P]
In fine form since joining Iain Jardine, winning 3 times over 6f at Southwell this year. Found run of good form coming to a halt when eighth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Catterick (7f, good) 7 days ago. Has the cheekpieces back on and no sur…

Impressor (G)
[P]
Has disappointed on his last 2 starts since a creditable fourth at Doncaster (5f) on return. No surprise if he gets back on track now he's been dropped to his last winning mark.

Invincible Ruby (F)
Off the mark with a comfortable success in 7f handicap at Catterick last summer. Has struggled for form since and has to be passed over at present.

Lightning Galaxy (G)
Standout effort when second at Thirsk (1m) in 2025 and has failed to beat a rival in 3 starts since, latest in handicap (12/1) at Thirsk (1m, good) on reappearance 16 days ago. Down in trip and hard to make a case for at present.

Fan Mail (G)
[P1]
Successful at Southwell (6f) in October but has not been at the same level since. Gets first-time cheekpieces added here. Has a lower turf mark and any positivity in the market again needs to be noted.

Iris Dancer (M)
[B]
C&D winner. Has produced 2 creditable efforts this season when in frame at Pontefract and Ayr. Has the blinkers refitted and this well-treated type has to be of interest.
