C&D winner in May and went in again at Ripon the following month; two good runs here after a short break and she ought to make another bold bid.

Five-time winner over C&D and 2lb lower than for the latest; never figured on last month's stable debut at Leicester after 217 days off, but she may have needed it and no great surprise if she ran well.

Form & Verdict
Three C&D wins in the first half of the year when trained by Sylvester Kirk; form rather trailed off after the latest of them but she starts out for her new stable (sold for 8,500gns in October) on a good mark and she is a fascinating candidate.

Went close at Wolverhampton (9.4f) on her stable debut last month before scoring over same C&D (first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago; still looks feasibly treated on that form but she flopped when favourite at Wolverhampton on Wednesday and has something to prove again after that heavy defeat.

Four-time AW winner, including C&D, and it hasn't taken him long to tumble down the weights (last win came off 13lb higher); not hit top gear in two runs for John Butler and he returns from a 166-day absence; very dangerous if the hood has the desired effect; watch the betting.
