14-66 and somewhat of a Hamilton Park specialist; creditable third to Vince L'Amour (Betweenthesticks second) over C&D on penultimate start but, that aside, she hasn't been overly competitive; easing mark (8lb below her last winning one) offers some hope.

T: Bryan Smart

Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily.

More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off.
