Regressive and inconsistent for this yard, and is tried in a first-time visor instead of cheekpieces tonight; needs to bounce back from a couple of ordinary efforts on turf.

Hard to fault her consistency in turf handicaps this summer, most recently finishing a close third at Carlisle two weeks ago (7f, good); needs to pull out extra to break her duck but the combination of a switch to AW and new blinkers might help.

Not beaten far at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) in July, but not so good at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) last month; isn't progressing, but is a half-sister to two AW winners including one here, so she may find a bit more for the different surface.

Not living up to her pedigree and was just a respectable fifth on last month's nursery debut at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) but a recent 2lb drop helps and she could quite plausibly have a bigger run in her.
