Prominent racer who won four times at around a mile between January and April; has run some solid races in defeat since, including over 7f at Southwell on her penultimate start, but suspicion she'll prove vulnerable for win purposes.

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.

J: Harry Burns

T: William Haggas

Best effort in handicaps this season was a second over 1m on the July course; hasn't built on that as she was last at Goodwood and never remotely threatened with the cheekpieces left off at Windsor; those aids now return but she's not overly convincing.

J: Cieren Fallon

T: William Haggas

Lightly raced filly who won on good to soft as 2yo; her best effort in handicaps this season was a second at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in June but she failed to beat a rival at Glorious Goodwood last time; takes a big drop back in grade but her form has been up and down so far and others are more convincing; has worn headgear in last six starts but not today.

J: David Probert

T: William Haggas

Won on good to soft as 2yo; backward steps in her first two handicaps this season, including last of eight over 1m at this track, but back-to-form second at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) on latest; wore cheekpieces last five starts, now tongue-tie as well; 1m2f is another notable change, given the stamina on dam's side and the way she made late gains at Newmarket.

Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced filly who represents notable connections; her 7f form features an AW win last autumn; bred to stay this new trip and may well show progress with Newcastle reappearance under her belt; one to consider.

J: Jack Callan

T: George Boughey

Has won two of her four races; it was never in much doubt at Newmarket where she travelled well before winning comfortably; that was her first handicap, first run at this trip and a first run on fast ground; therefore remains thoroughly unexposed and she's effectively just 1lb higher here with the talented Jack Callan taking away 7lb.

Form & Verdict
Three wins in Ireland; half-length second in both starts for new stable, latest over C&D (good to firm) last Saturday; due to go up 1lb in future; leading player, provided she takes well to first-time visor.

Fairly treated on her back-to-back runner-up efforts over 7f on AW/turf in August but not quite at the same level in recent starts; Captain Parma is the more obvious of her prolific stable's pair.

Ex-Irish 5yo who is 0-9 for James Owen since the spring; has posted some good efforts in defeat, most recently when third at Lingfield (7f, AW) last week, but her tendency to race too freely and/or start slowly is a nagging concern.
