Won her maiden over C&D on debut this time last year (went in again on turf the following month); has struggled badly off a sliding mark this season but offered more in first-time cheekpieces last time and the return to sprinting back here should help.

Placed at Leicester (6f, good) on debut; her next two 6f runs were underwhelming but her pedigree offers hope that she'll be suited by the step up in trip on this handicap debut; improvement possible.

Found little on Southwell AW in November but her Leicester debut (6f, good; 22-1) the previous month was much more encouraging and she looks one of the more likely ones if the lack of a recent run doesn't hold her back.

Went very close in a classified event at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) last month but that is her standout effort from seven starts and she was tailed off at Brighton last time; comes with risks attached and she needs to kick on again to defy this mark; cheekpeices are removed after one use.

Low-mileage filly who made quite promising seasonal/handicap debut when fourth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in May and may not have been suited by the soft ground when sixth (behind Nicely Curved) in this grade here (1m) in June; might be the answer.

Bettered low-key debut (6f) when keeping on for fairly respectable fourth at Chepstow (7f, soft) 12 days ago; it's hard to predict whether this drop to 5f will pay dividends but her ability to handle soft ground counts for something.
