Third in two attempts at the end of last year and improved on those when narrowly beaten over C&D three weeks ago; that looked a decent contest and she sets the standard of those to have run.

Ties in with Basilette on latest effort but that rival holds stronger claims kept to Stratford; has never won away from Plumpton and, despite a falling mark, her losing run is mounting up to boot.

Her last win was in a Plumpton maiden in November 2023; mixed results over hurdles this year but was runner-up at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February and she finished a fair fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) 19 days ago; continues to edge down the weights and she could be in the mix back in trip.

0-9 over hurdles but ran his best race this season with cheekpieces added when an 11l third of six over C&D two weeks ago on his first try at this far; should be thereabouts if repeating the effort.

Still a maiden over hurdles but produced one of his best results over 2m5f, the longest distance he's tackled; modest third over 2m1f last time; combination of new trip and first-time headgear may have positive effect.
