Form & Verdict
Off the mark (13th attempt) when scoring over C&D last month but she was a well-held seventh behind Mykonos St John here (8.6f) last time; this step back up in trip is a positive but she's not easy to predict and can miss the break; others look safer.

More talent than many with his rating but he is often the architect of his own demise, as when virtually refusing to race here three weeks ago; prior to that he'd won a C&D handicap for today's rider so a revival wouldn't be a total shock; headgear off today.
