Placed in three of her four nurseries on turf (6f/7f) last summer; that shows she's competitive from her mark but her peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 225 days off.

C&D win in April; best run since when beaten a neck into third at Kempton last week (blinkered first time); Billy Loughnane retains the ride and another bold bid looks assured.

Not at best over 1m then 6f the last twice; recorded her sole win over 7f (off 3lb higher on AW) and this may prove her optimum distance; possibilities, provided she takes well to first-time headgear.

J: Donagh Murphy

Won this off 4lb lower last year (good) not long after a success over hurdles; lightly raced since, with a novice hurdle win in November before well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in December; major player if he's in the same form as 12 months ago and he has run well after a similar break before.

Needn't make all to win but did for April's Chepstow maiden hurdle success (2m, good); refused to settle there and same trait ruined his finishing effort when last seen back on the Flat in June; likely needs to get all the basics right conceding weight all round this time.

Form & Verdict
Clearcut winner of C&D novice last June but her handicap efforts since have been a little disappointing, including weakening quickly on 8.6f course reappearance 12 days ago; the return to 7f may help but others are more convincing.

Successful on Jersey in May and followed up over 1m2f on AW here in June; his two subsequent efforts have been poor and tries a change of headgear (first-time blinkers in place of cheekpieces) in a bid to get back to form.

Sole turf win was in Jersey this May, preceding a Lingfield AW win in June; tailed off at Newcastle eight days later, which she needs to bounce back from, but the string of seconds (three on good to firm) at this time last year makes this look a good mark.

Form & Verdict
While her recent C&D stable debut success seemingly wasn't anticipated (went off 33-1) there was no fluke about it, since she was only pushed out to lead close home, and a 2lb rise should be manageable.
