Both her wins have come on Tapeta, over 7f here and 6f at Southwell; didn't run badly over 7f here last month and she has more to recommend her than several of her rivals.

It's been a while since her last win but she has improved with each run for her new yard, most recently finishing second over this trip at Newcastle five weeks ago; Simon Walker booked and she has the inside draw so more in her favour than most.

Lost all chance at the start when behind two of these over C&D (good) eight days ago and had run with some credit in three starts at Brighton prior to that, but losing run is up to 33 and her best form has come over shorter.

Blinkers were applied here in August and he ran well for second, a position he also filled at Southwell 13 days later; not so good over 5f and 7f (twice) since but quite possible this trip will be his optimum.
