Mrs Trump
Three wins last year, two of them at this venue; shaped better than the result on her Pontefract return 13 days ago, losing her position before halfway (hampered) but running on at the finish; drops in grade and should make a bold bid to retain her unbeaten course record.

Garifullina
Won minor handicaps at Catterick and C&D last July; pulled hard over 7f when last seen in October (AW); not handicapped out of things but she was well beaten on last season's reappearance.

Lady Of The Garr
Stays 6f but her best form, and sole success, came over 5f; returns from an 11-week break but on a feasible mark and she's more appealing than many.

Little Muddy
Major player on her 2023 form but she went the wrong way last year; there was more encouragement in her midfield finish in a 0-72 handicap at Doncaster three weeks ago (5f, good), however, and she's considered back in these calmer waters.

Supernova Steps
Successful in a 6f handicap at Southwell in November but that hasn't been a springboard to better things; missed the break and then met trouble in running when ninth at Wolverhampton two weeks ago on her return from 100 days off; still to prove herself on turf but this her first realistic opportunity.

Kranjcar
Well supported in his first three starts this year and placed in two of them; given a wind op after finishing third at Wolverhampton in January; didn't stay 1m at Yarmouth 16 days ago; becoming frustrating but could still have a bigger effort in him and this is weak; blinkers back on after one run in cheekpieces.

Posh Maisie
Exposed maiden; offered a bit more returned to turf at Catterick 12 days ago (5f, good) but she reportedly bled from the nose; not sure to build on that effort and opposable once more.

Ustath
The bulk of his winning has been on AW but he is effective on turf and ran okay over 5f at Catterick 12 days ago; this isn't a strong race and he's not ruled out with Tom Marquand booked.

Irish Dancer
16-race maiden; ended 2024 with some good runs at Southwell but others have more persuasive claims today.

Looks on the downgrade and the addition of cheekpieces isn't enough to tempt now returned to turf.
