Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding.

Triple AW winner who is 0-13 on turf but she's run respectably at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and Nottingham (5f, good) in her last two runs; returns after another short break but she's generally reliable and shouldn't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in her first two starts for William Haggas (6f, Polytrack and 7f, Tapeta); tailed off on heavy at Leicester in April, a run which is forgivable on account of the ground but the fact she had dropped into claiming company there is slightly disconcerting; each-way shout if back to form.
