Had been vulnerable in handicaps this year but she ran better at Stratford two starts ago and there was nothing wrong with her attitude when a narrow winner over C&D (good) in June; has gone back up 4lb but in good heart and likely to go well.

Scored over hurdles last November and recorded his first win on the Flat in Britain, at this track (2m1f, good to firm) in April off 4lb lower; good second at Ripon subsequently but finished last of six back there (2m, good) after slipping on the bend on the first circuit last month; swaps a visor for blinkers and may be worth forgiving latest run.
