Ended a lengthy losing run when justifying support in a 1m4f handicap here ten days ago; got first run in that race but a 2lb rise looks fair enough and this step back up to 1m5f is no problem; shortlisted.

Polytrack/turf winner who has finished runner-up in her last three starts; up another 1lb, but the form of her latest head defeat at Lingfield (1m5f, Polytrack) has worked out extremely well; yet to attempt this far, but shapes as though she will stay; major chance.

Placed three times this winter including when runner-up here (1m4f) last month, but she didn't fire at Wolverhampton (well-held fifth) three weeks ago; had a wide trip in that race but that took her record to 0-8 and she has another tough draw here; others preferred.
