Form & Verdict
Often a front-runner and 5-18 on the AW, her latest win when making all from 2lb lower over 7f here in October; no problem with the return to this trip and could run a big race, especially if allowed to dominate.

Returned from a break with creditable third of seven over 1m here last month but she's been below par twice since, latterly at Newcastle only five days ago; others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Made a successful handicap debut at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last September and has finished runner-up in her last three starts, including when just under a length behind Miss Britain over C&D on her penultimate outing; up 1lb but still likely to make her presence felt.

Handy sort who has gained all six wins over 7f/1m on the AW; back off her last winning mark and probably needed her Kempton return 12 days ago after 405 days off, but she will need plenty to go right from the outside stall.

Left Sir Mark Prescott for 60,000gns and as an 11-race maiden; straight on the scoresheet for this yard with a comfortable win at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and the race didn't go her way back there last time; stays further than this so don't doubt her stamina.

11-race maiden (four seconds) in her 11 starts for Sir Mark Prescott; 60,000gns sale and dropped in trip when obliging comfortably in five-runner race over C&D last Monday on first attempt for new connections, so she's firmly in the mix under 6lb penalty.

Unexposed 4yo who has won two of her last four starts, the latest in first-time cheekpieces at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month; only 1lb higher, but the placed horses haven't done much for the form in the meantime and she has to prove herself on Tapeta.

Appeared to appreciate the step up in trip and strong pace when getting the better of Wadacre Grace over C&D last month, but only eighth of 11 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta; Cappoquin fourth) last time, albeit she became short of room late on; respected back here, especially as there is a chance there will be plenty of pace on again.
