Bolted up under a positive ride to make it sixth-time lucky at Salisbury (1m2f, good) nine days ago; likely to go up a good deal more than her 5lb penalty, but whether her rivals will allow her as much rope this time is uncertain.

J: Colin Keane

T: Charlie Pike

4yo who bolted up with two front-running wins in June and latest was at Newbury (1m3f, good); flopped in hat-trick bid at Doncaster, but she bounced back with a second behind a well-handicapped rival at Salisbury (1m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago; needs to find more to defy this mark but she's still lightly raced and this new trip should be within range; in the mix.

Lightly raced 4yo who posted two easy wins in June (including C&D, good/good to firm) before a disappointing run at the start of July (1m2f, good to firm); however, a two-month break may have helped and she could bounce back with a big performance; effective on soft ground.
