Game effort to win a 5f handicap at Thirsk (good ground) last month; dropped away having made the running at Newcastle 13 days ago; has run well at Carlisle before but over 5f and this test might be stiffer than ideal.

Won this last year (first-time visor) and quickly added to that with further wins at Catterick (7f), Newcastle (6f), and back here (6f), rising steadily in the weights; she's a likely pace angle, only worn down inside final furlong at Catterick (6f; 17-2) 25 days ago.

T: Noel Wilson

Loves it here, with all but one of his eight wins coming over C&D; however, failed to build on reappearance when well last of six over C&D at the end of May so his hopes are pinned on a change of stable (has left Stephen Hanlon) sparking a return to form.
