Dual C&D winner but she needs things to drop right and has finished a never-dangerous seventh here in last two runs; goes back up in trip off a falling mark but she needs to significantly raise her game.

Hardy mare who landed four races on AW (1m to 9.5f) between February and April; also a previous four-time winner on turf but this is just her second crack at 1m2f on her 111th start; still not discounted.

No sign at all of age wearying him during the winter, having won over C&D in November, and he returned from a break as fresh as paint with a 7f win at Southwell last month; back up 4lb; one of a few to consider.
