Midnight Lir (G)

Found run of good form coming to a halt when 4 lengths fourth of 7 at Ayr last time. Losing sequence now closing in on 3 years, though he does at least benefit from a drop in grade.

Showed much improved form when dominating a couple of rivals in refitted blinkers at Lingfield (5f) 9 days ago. Should follow up under a penalty, provided she proves as tractable for stable's 3-lb ap…

Form of penultimate second in better race at Catterick (5f) hasn't worked out. Well held over same C&D latest and hopes pinned on another change of headgear.

Successful in 0-55 at Catterick in May. Went close in first-time blinkers at Thirsk last month but headgear not had same effect following 2 starts.

Mare Of London (F)
Modest form at 2 for George Scott. Sold for only 5,000 gns last autumn. Should strip fitter for reappearance/stable debut at Ripon, though she still looks too high in the weights.

Country Artiste (F)
Hasn't come close to matching 2-y-o form in 5 outings for current yard, faring no better for addition of cheekpieces at Beverley last time.

Dabbling (F)
Exposed sort who again hit the frame when 2½ lengths third of 8 at Beverley (5f) last time. This looks a better race, though.

Standout effort when third in thin novice at Catterick (5f). No impact in trio of handicap starts since.
