Form dipped sharply the last twice, so needs to bounce back in a major way; however, looks difficult to dismiss, having scored over C&D (off 3lb lower) on last AW appearance.

Form & Verdict
Beat a subsequent dual winner when off the mark for the year at Thirsk last time (6f, good to firm); well beaten in two AW starts but they were in novices over 7f/1m on first two outings and has improved considerably since; drop to 5f a slight concern, but a possible.

Three-time C&D winner, the latest of those coming in first-time blinkers off a 7lb lower mark in January; has been running well since, including when runner-up here 15 days ago, and there's no reason to think she won't go well again.
