J: Seamus Cronin

T: Michael Herrington

Versatile ground-wise and she recorded her ninth win when bouncing with a comfortable success at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in June; creditable third (Shallow second) there in July; not at best latest (Newmarket again) but the fact she won this race from an identical mark last year makes her a dangerous one to discount.

Versatile ground-wise and she recorded her ninth win when bouncing with a comfortable success over C&D (good to firm) in June; still looks feasibly treated on that form and she was a fair third in a Class 3 event back here last month; respected dropped back in grade.

Largely consistent mare who was placed over 1m here last week and is now back on same mark as when scoring over today's trip at Wolverhampton in December; likely to be in the shake-up again.

T: Gemma Tutty

Out of sorts on turf in her last two runs, but six of her seven wins have been on Tapeta (including over C&D) and latest was off 3lb at Wolverhampton in December; usually comes from off the pace and she's one to keep an eye on back in this sphere.

Has a better strike-rate on AW than grass but she's in better form than her last two turf runs suggest, short of room at Ascot on latest; less obvious than several of these but not ruled out.

Belatedly opened account in 7f turf novice in September but has been safely held in both subsequent AW handicaps (1m/7f); will appreciate today's ease in grade but has a point to prove.

Off the mark in Redcar novice event, taking her form figures over 7f to 2321; the return to 1m backfired at Southwell (belated handicap debut; behind Moonspirit) since; may have more to offer back down in distance and remains of interest.

Form & Verdict
Bang-in-form front-runner who won her last three races (1m-8.6f); carries 5lb penalty for Kempton success on Wednesday but Jordan Williams claims 5lb and has been runner-up on her; can cope with today's drop back in trip and commands respect in current mood.

Four wins at around 1m on the AW including one over C&D in January; having dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than when last successful, she ran well to finished third of nine at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; can't be discounted.

3-21, those wins coming over 5f, 6f, and 7f; placed on return from a three-and-a-half month absence at Newmarket (1m, good to soft; 6-1) on penultimate start but less productive next time (7f); easing mark coupled with Alec Voikhansky's 3lb claim helpful.
