Won four times in amateur races for Brodie Hampson last year; sent off at huge prices and she's struggled in three runs this month; dropped 7lb as a result and Hollie Doyle takes over; interesting to see if there's any market interest now down in class.

Dual AW winner at Chelmsford this year (1m2f/13.3f), latterly off mark 1lb higher than today's; should be fine back on turf but needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing effort.

Form & Verdict
Has very modest 2-36 career strike-rate but her 3l success on seasonal debut at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) 12 days ago was gained with considerable authority and, if that performance was as good as it looked, a 4lb rise is lenient.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish 6yo who won selling hurdle on last month's stable debut (first-time tongue-tie) and has since run well in a handicap hurdle; has very uninspiring Flat record and is not easy to weigh up here, but at least we know here's in good nick.
