Kept on well to win Class 4 Goodwood handicap (good ground) when upped to this trip in June and has remained in good form since, but may have been flattered by her proximity when fourth of six in tactical Listed race at Chester (14.3f, good) in August and needs a bigger run here.

Unraced here or on softer than good; progressive in handicaps, including over 1m6f on two of her last three outings, but today's company should require a fair bit better.

T: Roger Varian

Course winner who showed improved form to win when upped to 1m6f at Goodwood (good) in June; kept on for third of six at Newbury (13.2f, good to firm) since and today's extra yardage is in her favour; not ruled out.

Minor honours at about 1m4f before winning at Goodwood five weeks ago when upped to 1m6f; trip/ground should be fine and the 3lb rise may underestimate her; looks set for another big run.

Nudged up the weights in defeat since winning on her handicap debut last summer and goes beyond 1m4f for the first time (shapes as though she'll be fine with the stiffer test); will need to improve on her latest effort here.
