1

Via Sistina

Faces lots of battle hardened rivals on her first start since last November, though she did win after a 79 day absence when easily scoring at Newmarket.

2

State Occasion

In good form and her victory in a fast-ground handicap at Goodwood last month has been enhanced by the second horse winning since.

3

Myristica

Two handicap victories in June means she is now on a challenging handicap mark. Having her first run at York on her 22nd career start.

4

Yorkshire Lady

Won three handicaps last season, latterly over a similar trip to this at Haydock. No impact on her only 2022 start.

5

Amanzoe

A real improver who has won her last three starts – latterly at Ascot – and a rising handicap mark may not prevent another big show for her brilliant stable.

6

Bollin Joan

Ran poorly in this race last year but the track couldn’t have been the issue as amongst her 13 career victories have been two here, including over this trip in May. Tends to surge late.

7

The Flying Ginger

Made most of the running to win this at long odds last year. Disappointments followed.

8

Reel Rosie

Runs here in preference to the longer Listed event on Thursday. An impressive handicap winner in first-time cheekpieces this month.

9

Good American

A front-running winner on her debut, but struggled twice subsequently in hotter company. Could benefit from this rise in trip. Trainer says fast ground suits her.

10

Croachill

First start in a handicap, having shown promise on all three novice runs, including a victory at Doncaster.

11

Shampion

She won going away from her seven rivals in a 2000m novices’ event on her third and latest start. First handicap run now.
