Weighted to turn the tables on Life After Love, who beat her a short head over C&D last month; however, over 2l to find with Mademoiselle Belle on her latest run (at Newcastle) and she's now 0-7.

Best of her three runs since going handicapping when dropped back to 5f at Southwell last week, finishing short-head second of seven (first two 7l clear of the rest); up 2lb but a contender.

Failed to land a gamble on his handicap/AW debut in November; again well beaten tried in cheekpieces at Chelmsford in December; hopes appear to rest on a gelding operation having a positive effect.

Everything clicked when running away with a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton in March (visored first time); nothing before or since to suggest he is the answer today.

J: Marco Ghiani

Got off the mark when making all in a first-time visor at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month but he was comfortably held at Lingfield 27 days ago having been raised 9lb for that success; needs to bounce back.

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Robert Cowell

Failed to live up to market prominence in his first three handicaps; showed his true colours fitted with a visor at Wolverhampton three weeks ago, making all and coming home clear; up 9lb and he is taking on stronger opposition but further progress is possible in this headgear.

Form & Verdict
Improved for the switch to handicaps when second of seven at Chelmsford in December (5f; cheekpieces on for the first time); stopped quickly at Wolverhampton (6f) 11 days ago; return to 5f can help and blinkers now replace the cheekpieces.

Good run when second at Chelmsford on his nursery debut in December (5f; cheekpieces first time); struggled since and hopes rest on the new tongue tie giving him a lift.

Modest eight-race maiden; his C&D second last month was a remote one and he has since finished down the field at Southwell; others bring stronger claims.
