Winner and placed twice here over 1m2f in late summer last year; this shorter trip looks to be on the sharp side for her these days but her course form gives cause for optimism as she returns to action off a fair mark.

Didn't deliver on her early promise for Clive Cox; didn't run badly when fourth of eight over the extended 1m here on her stable debut 12 days ago and dropped another 2lb for her troubles; any improvement for the application of cheekpieces would bring her into the reckoning.

Disappointing (0-13) since joining Lizzie Quinlan, last of 12 at Catterick (7f, soft; 50-1) over a fortnight ago; hopes pinned squarely on these newly applied cheekpieces and an AW return (0-7) providing the spark; risky even from this plummeting mark.
