On a handy mark and may be back in better form with Thirsk reappearance under his belt; however, he's on two-year losing spell and record suggests he'll be more interesting when returned to Ayr.

Lost his way in the autumn; has dropped to a favourable mark as a result (went close off 5lb higher last autumn) but a losing run of 21 doesn't inspire confidence; first start for 140 days.

Fairly useful form shown when posting an excellent ninth in the Albany at Royal Ascot; she couldn't match that form when runner-up (tongue tied) in 7f Goodwood maiden since but still looks very much the one to beat with this longer trip a plus.

Had wind surgery prior to her creditable fifth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to soft; her only race in cheekpieces) during which she encountered traffic problems; comparable form over 1m2f earlier this season but needs improvement and refused to race at Chepstow nine days ago; others preferred.

Yet to run a bad race this season and, following a wind op, encountered quite a bit of traffic before keeping on for very respectable fifth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood (1m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last week; also suited by today's longer trip; can make her presence felt again.
