LONGEST TRAVELLER: ISADORA’S GIFT trained by Fionn McSharry, Sheriff Hutton, 135 miles.

CLASS MEMBER stepped up on her debut effort when runner-up at Southwell just under a fortnight ago and with further progress on the cards, George Boughey’s filly is fancied to make it third-time lucky. Stall 10 could complicate things a shade for Cruella deVill but she’s expected to be in the mix with Murphy on board, with My Turn Now and Isadora’s Gift another couple to consider

LONGEST TRAVELLER: CONTACT trained by D & N Barron, Thirsk, 142 miles.

EVANIA’s only defeat has come when not seen to best effect in a listed contest and she got firmly back on track with a cosy success on her handicap debut at Southwell last month. That race has worked out well and she can go in again with more improvement forthcoming. Contact did well in 2022 and has a good record fresh so is interesting on his AW debut The hat-trick seeking Nolton Cross is also highly respected under Oisin Murphy

SO CHIC is taken to open her account at the tenth time of asking She went agonisingly close back from a short break over this C&D last month and is better than she was able to show at Kempton 9 days later. Comedian Leader is likely to give it a good shot but she’s probably just about in the handicapper’s grip for now and Misty Ayr, who wasn’t beaten far here last time, is second choice.
