Form & Verdict
Three-time winner last year, including on her comeback (returns from a short break tonight), who seems fine on any ground; has got into the habit of fluffing the start this season but she returned to form last time and will be happier now back up in trip.

Has won on good to soft; losing turf run goes back more than a year but she ran up to her recent best when second of 14 at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in June; needs to be on song to win off this mark back from break.

Form & Verdict
Saw off Ready To Shine (who was held up off the steady pace) when justifying favouritism over C&D two months ago off 4lb lower; looked to do too much too soon on Tapeta back from a short break early last week and remains on a workable mark.

Made all in a four-runner affair at Leicester (1m4f, Class 5; good to firm) last month, but couldn't repeat those tactics from this revised mark at Haydock; lacks the proven AW prowess held by most of these rivals, which serves to make her even more vulnerable.

Upped to 1m4f for handicap debut and that produced a more competitive show when third of eight at Salisbury (good) late last month, coming from last 3f out; needs another step forward but has more to offer at 1m4f+.

Form & Verdict
Valid excuses with one thing and another since her Thirsk win off a 4lb lower mark in early summer; inclined to pull hard over 1m6f last time, again in a race not run to suit, and will be happier now back down in trip in first-time headgear.

Won off a 6lb higher mark over this far at Thirsk last summer (good to firm); muddling pace was no help when fourth of the five runners on return to Flat action at Haydock (1m3f, good; after a wind op) but she didn't run badly; hard to dismiss.

Dual course winner last autumn (maiden and a novice) who's struggled in handicaps this summer; the longer trip should be fine on pedigree under Tom Marquand (who's 0-20 for the yard) but she has a good bit to prove now.
