3	Maiden who has been placed twice in similar company at Catterick this summer, latterly benefiting from the run of the race when beaten 1½ lengths in a change of headgear there last time. Claims on her all-weather bow, especially as there's not much pace on paper here. 2nd Pick 3 Fairydale (Ire) Jockey: Duran Fentiman Trainer: Tim Easterby J: Duran Fentiman T: Tim Easterby	94	-	-	-	10%

6	Maiden who has placed 3 times in classified company. Latest when 3¾-length second in a race run to suit at Wolverhampton. Weighted to go well on just his third start for present yard, for all there's no guarantee things will pan out as favourably back in a handicap. 3rd Pick 6 Raise The Stakes (Ire) Jockey: Greg Fairley Trainer: Ewan Whillans J: Greg Fairley T: Ewan Whillans	99	-	-	-	20%
