Won off this mark at the Curragh last July (5f, good); good third at the same track in April and there have been some comparable runs in competitive handicaps since; makes her British debut in a less-demanding event and she's high on the list.

Two 5f wins last year, off 63 at Newmarket (good) in August and off 67 on her final start at the Curragh (yielding) for this rider; career high mark now and record fresh suggests she'll need this run after a 212-day absence.

Form & Verdict
Two improved efforts since a tongue-tie was added, keeping on well after a slow start at Doncaster two weeks ago (5f, good); will need to become more accurate at the stalls if she is to fulfil her potential.

Best form when coming from off the pace, as when a wide-margin winner at Redcar (5f, good) last month; has possibly found slower surfaces against her since (reared start latest) and considered in a race that's likely to be run to suit.

All wins have come on the Polytrack at Chelmsford, the latest off 4lb lower in May; tailed off at Yarmouth in June though and the balance of his turf form (0-14) makes him opposable.

Has been a trailblazer in the past, but showed he didn't have to lead when successful off this mark on his reappearance over C&D in May (all four wins here); should appreciate the return to this venue following three lesser efforts on turf and one for the shortlist despite the outside stall.

Form & Verdict
Promising debut at Newcastle last September (5f, AW); no progress in two runs since and only three ran when she was second at Nottingham last month (6f, good; odds-on favourite; hooded first time); could kick on now handicapping and returning to 5f should suit.

Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW.
