Has won four times, including this race in 2024 off a 2lb higher mark than today's, and bounced back from a lesser effort when third of seven at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) last time; on a handy mark but unproven on ground slower than good.

Came from the back of the field to win here (6f, good) last July and she's been a good third on her last two starts (6f, good/good to firm); kept on well at Newbury last time and now has a belated second crack at 7f, which is well worth a go; she's one to consider.

Versatile 7yo who has won ten times at up to 1m; hasn't made an impact since his Leicester win (6f, good to firm) in May but he had lots of traffic issues at Newbury three weeks ago; can put a line through that and he's a player if he gets some luck this time.
