Form & Verdict
Three solid efforts here this summer; a reproduction of last month's C&D second (Rosequiano and Liv Lucky behind) would give her decent claims as long as her subsequent Yarmouth effort is forgiven.

Six-time winner, with five of those wins coming on turf; ran well when second of 11 here on the AW in December and switches to turf on her first start since; seems unsuited by ground softer than good.

Just a single win to go with several defeats at short prices; missed the break from a wide stall at Catterick last time, though, and should do better in a weak handicap.

Successful in C&D handicap in September; far from consistent otherwise in the last 12 months and AW record is just 1-27 but she's one of the bigger players on these terms, granted a return to form.

Brother to useful Irish sprinter Dense Star; has achieved little in three runs to date; however, he starts handicap life at a lowly level in first-time headgear and this is more realistic.

First signs of life at a big price in a Newbury handicap last time (fourth a winner since); is 1lb lower today and won't mind the return to sprinting on that evidence, so goes on the shortlist.
