Three wins this year, the latest gained at Doncaster (1m2f, good) last month; today's 3lb higher mark is probably not beyond her but she was below form on soft ground three weeks ago, and conditions may turn against here again here.

2-2 since upped to 1m2f and switched to handicaps in the spring (both wins gained on good to firm); moves up in grade and is likely to encounter slower ground on this hat-trick attempt but open to further progress over 1m4f; respected.

Won in May/June in her first two handicaps (1m2f, good to firm) and she's been a good second on two of her last three starts (1m4f/11.4f, good); further improvement is needed now up in grade but that's possible.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up in first two handicaps before going one better here (1m2f, good) in first-time cheekpieces five weeks ago; 5lb rise demands more from her and she's not sure to appreciate the forecast rain but she's well worth a crack at today's longer trip.

Form & Verdict
Down the field after racing too freely in first two handicaps (1m2f/1m) but settled a bit better when fourth in first-time hood at Newbury (1m2f, good) last month, albeit beaten about 8l; needs to improve again here but if/when she learns to relax in the early stages, this longer trip ought to suit; unraced on ground slower than good.

Couldn't fault her momentum last year, rising from a mark of 88 at Uttoxeter in July to 102 when scoring readily at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in October; found life tougher in better races (Wetherby and Cheltenham) thereafter; this is equally tough, but she could strip fitter for C&D comeback run.

Form & Verdict
In good form since returned to the Flat and fitted with blinkers this spring, most notably when winning by 5l at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) three starts ago; repeatedly denied clear run before keeping on for third at Windsor last time and won't mind what the weather does here; major player.

Form & Verdict
Just a respectable fourth on handicap debut at Sandown (1m2f, good) in June but bettered that performance when winning Kempton novice (1m4f, AW) last month; still needs to prove she's fully effective on turf, though, and the forecast rain is a worry (by far her worst run was on soft ground).

Showed clear promise in novice/maiden events on AW but she made a low-key start in handicaps when a remote fifth of six at Nottingham (1m2f) last month; the soft ground may have been an issue but she's been well held in both her turf runs so far and has some questions to answer.

Sole turf run (on good) was her worst but that was her debut; close up with cheekpieces over 1m/9.4f in her two AW races this year, so she's firmly in the mix on this handicap debut.
