Several creditable efforts this season, and she had an excuse when stepped back up to 1m4f here (did too much too soon) last time; has possibilities if she can bounce back but she's not easy to predict and all of her three wins have come on turf; cheekpieces reapplied.

Wins have come on turf in the summer and her record on Tapeta would be mixed at best; generally been running consistently of late but over shorter and this is a different test upped from 1m1f.

Won a division of this race last year; back to form with a bang to easily take advantage of a much-reduced mark at Carlisle (1m1f, good) in August; two poor efforts have followed but no surprise to see him bounce back with the Tim Easterby team in great form.

Took advantage of an easing mark at Carlisle (1m1f amateurs', good) recently; had the run of the race there - runner-up was subject to a running-and-riding inquiry - so will need to find slightly more from this 7lb higher mark; Jake Dickson takes off a useful 3lb.

Form & Verdict
No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps when sixth of eight at Haydock two weeks ago (extended 1m2f, good); didn't see much daylight between 2f out and 1f out there though and it was a higher grade; dropped 2lb and could yet rate higher.

Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June when back from a break; unplaced at odds-on over hurdles next time and also below par when back on the Flat at York (2m, good to firm) most recently; however, the first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift and there can be optimism that this trip will be within range; trainer won this last year; in calculations.

Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting.
