Low-mileage filly who built upon her encouraging handicap debut when scoring over C&D (good to firm) this month; 5lb higher in what looks a more competitive race today but could easily have more to offer.

More productive on AW (5-17) than on turf (2-28) and was only run out of it inside the final furlong at Newcastle (7f Class 5; 9-1) in March; less effective since (0-2) but is slowly easing in the weights, and is perhaps best suited by 6f.

Seven-time winner who scored off 1lb higher over C&D in September; has been hit and miss since but he finished second here (7f) on his penultimate run and wasn't disgraced after an awkward start at Southwell last time; usually races prominently and he's not ruled out back at this track.

Form & Verdict
Didn't take to hurdling when trained by Paul Robson but is 2-2 for new stable since reverting to the Flat last month with cheekpieces added, gaining both wins from the front at Ayr (7f, good); recorded good Topspeed figure for the grade on latter occasion needs to be taken very seriously.

Came good with pushed-out success over C&D (soft) in May and went very close on fast ground at Redcar the following month; disappointing favourite when last in action (1m) but ought to be suited by today's drop back in trip; major player if first-time cheekpieces have desired effect.
