Smart on the AW (1111121), her latest success coming in the Group 3 Winter Derby at Lingfield (1m2f) in February; her winning racecourse debut came on turf (7f, soft), but this looks a tough task on her return to grass.

Tasted defeat on AW for the first time when second of ten, beaten a head, in a good fillies' handicap over C&D five weeks ago; beaten by a good filly, rather than the trip, on that occasion and she is still improving; shouldn't be underestimated.

5-5 on AW, completing a hat-trick when gamely winning a Listed race over 1m here eight weeks ago; the second home there was an unconsidered 125-1 shot who went into the race with a BHA mark of 71 so there are question marks over it but the third home ran well in Listed company in France last month; now 10lb higher than for her Kempton win on her penultimate start but she could progress further now upped in trip (dam a 1m4f winner); contender.

Narrow C&D winner off a pound higher mark last September (only just beaten over C&D next time); not in quite such good form this year, best run when second at Southwell in June (7f); fared less well there last time but quite interesting back here (course record is 2124).

4lb higher than her last winning mark but Jack Callan's claim will help in that respect and it was a good run last time at Wolverhampton (finished upside Exquisitive Acclaim) given she was never ideally positioned out the back; could go well provided stall 11 isn't a killer.
