Two of her three wins have come at this track and on soft ground; she hasn't beaten a rival in her two starts this season but they were on quick ground and she could prove a different proposition following the recent rain; handy mark and rider's claim useful too.

Not always the best away but he led early here 19 days ago and was only overhauled late on; that was over slightly further and he could take some reeling in if as good again; up 1lb but had got himself well handicapped.

Ended her three-race juvenile campaign with a promising third in Chepstow maiden (6f, good) but kicked off her handicap career with a disappointing run here (5.7f, good to soft) in April; still unexposed but she was beaten 10l last time and has something to prove after another break.

Both wins have come on Polytrack but she's still lightly raced on turf and has placed at Goodwood (6f, good) and Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in her last two starts; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if this sets up for the closers.
