Made all when winning a maiden handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last June but she's been disappointing since and ended last season with a heavy defeat at this track; drops back in trip/grade on her return but record is now 1-12 and others are more convincing.

Pushed out under hands and heels to score at Musselburgh (5f, good; from 4lb lower) last month, but was no match for stablemate Marajito over C&D (good, 9-2) last week; remains in fine fettle though, and has a C&D win to her name, so she ought to be thereabouts.

C&D winner; consistent in defeat on AW before making a successful return to turf at Nottingham (5f, good) 19 days ago, with reopposing Dc Cogent and Marajito behind in third and fifth; did that quite comfortably but a 6lb rise puts him 3lb above his highest win mark of 66; has also yet to score back-to-back in his 41-race career.

Has reached the frame on AW in his last six starts including when a close second at Newcastle (5f; tongue-tie added) last month; record of 1-21 on turf but conditions should be fine back in this sphere and he had a close call off 1lb higher at Beverley last summer; interesting contender for yard that has won this race in the last two years.
