2-5 when trained in France but found the handicapper firmly in command in the first half of 2023; she's been much more competitive in recent starts though and returning to 1m will suit; handles slow ground; contender, especially if avoiding the late hanging which has blighted recent runs.

5 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Four-time turf winner (6f-7f); made disappointing AW debut over C&D in November but has twice performed well on Tapeta since, and her mark is workable if she can produce her best at this venue.

Strong traveller who has winning form over C&D; hit the front briefly inside the final 1f when close sixth of 19 to Villanova Queen in this race (round 1m) last year; operating a little below her best this season but her mark has edged back down as a result.

Form & Verdict
Still 5lb higher than when dead-heating at Wolverhampton (7f) in October but the form of her close third at Lingfield (1m) on New Year's Eve has recently been well advertised by the front pair and today's drop back in trip will suit; respected.

The winner of four races when trained by the Johnstons, two here over 7f; close second at Lingfield last month (1m) after which she changed hands for 16,000gns; stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust but it's a move that looks well worth exploring.

Form & Verdict
Struggled in turf Group 3 in October 2021 but won her other two races, the latter a 7f novice at Southwell last month after a long absence; the bare form of that recent success isn't anything to get too excited about but she's open to significant improvement in handicaps, particularly if she learns to settle better.

4yo who improved her record to 2-3 when landing a Southwell novice (7f, Tapeta; 6-4 favourite) last month on her return from 447 days off; now goes handicapping up in trip but she won going away last time and is out of a half-sister to a very useful middle-distance winner; interesting contender for in-form yard.

Verdict

This is much more competitive than the Southwell novice she won last month but handicap debutante GIFTED GOLD (nap) is open to significant further progress and she can collect this prize before moving on to bigger targets. Jilly Cooper posted a good effort over 1m last month and will be suited by today’s drop back in trip. Farhh To Shy needs to prove she can transfer her Tapeta form to Polytrack but may also feature.[Chris Wilson]
