Form & Verdict
Won at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) on May 16 on third stable start and followed up off same mark at Ayr (6f, good to firm) five days later; unproven on slow ground; her new, 9lb higher mark has now kicked in but she's done it comfortably the last twice and could still be ahead of the handicapper.

Unproven on ground slower than good to soft; five-time winner (5f/6f), the most recent win at Musselburgh in April off a 10lb lower mark than today's; second in each of her last five starts, including when ahead of a few of today's rivals at Goodwood (6f, good) two starts back, but now tries 7f for the first time off a career-high mark.

Four wins, including over C&D last season; won off 4lb lower over C&D again in April (good) but has finished second five times since, last week going down by a neck in a 6f fillies' handicap at Goodwood (good); 5lb well in; interesting contender.

Needs to better her last two performances (Ayr/Carlisle) but this C&D winner likes it here and is on a handy mark on course form as recent as last autumn; not written off now back at Musselburgh.

Three AW wins earlier this year (6f/5f) and he didn't run badly back on turf at Ayr last month following a 53-day break; however, this nine-time AW winner is 0-32 on grass and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Three course wins early in the year and he is now 3lb lower than for the latest of them; dropped down the weights on the back of some disappointing turf runs and he should be a more potent force back under these conditions.

This drop back to 5f isn't an obvious plus but he's been running consistently well in defeat over 6f on his last three starts and perhaps he'll be sharper for the first-time visor; could be thereabouts.
