T: John & Rhys Flint

Took her Chepstow record to 2-4 when seeing off five rivals over 1m2f last July but her form dipped at the end of the year; races over short of 1m for the first time in five years on her reappearance and a watching brief is the call despite her good record here.

J: Taylor Fisher

T: John & Rhys Flint

Boasts a good record here (1m2f winner last month off 4lb lower) and will be happier back down in class having hung right at Windsor last time; this trip's a bare minimum now, unless the ground eases (seems unlikely), but the big field will help.

Form & Verdict
Improved form when a near-5l second of 11 behind a fast-improving winner at Haydock (1m2f, good to soft) last month and she may not have been suited by tight Chester when well beaten three weeks ago; not written off.
