Looked in good nick at Wolverhampton (5f) 11 days ago, winning readily by over 1l; only due a 5lb rise for that but takes her chance under a 6lb penalty here and with good 7lb claimer Ashley Lewis enlisted.

Resumed winning ways in 5f classified event here in January and not discredited after a tardy start when a running-on third of six in 5f Lingfield handicap two weeks ago; she's proven over this longer trip so rates a big player back in this company.

Led close home to open account at Chelmsford (5f) in January and is now only 1lb above that mark but needs to rebound from a duff effort on turf last month and her outside draw is not ideal.

Form & Verdict
Not much when to plan for him here (6f, turf) on latest outing 12 weeks ago and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry but he finished strongly when winning at Wolverhampton (5f; first-time tongue-tie) in March and is not yet fully exposed.

His form has scaled new heights since an eyeshield was added, running away with a 6f handicap at Newmarket last month and following up in a small field at Lingfield 13 days ago; a 5lb higher mark against stronger opposition demands another step forward but he's progressive.

Three previous wins had come on the AW (5f) but he was a revelation at Newmarket eight days ago when hammering a big field over 6f; that may well have been down to the first-time eyeshield and he now has to back it up off an 8lb higher mark.

Form & Verdict
Seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when clearcut winner of 6f classified here two months ago; has a bit more on his plate in this handicap but further progress is possible in the new headgear, and the drop back to 5f is an interesting move.
