Front-runner who returns to turf 4lb higher than when last seen on it after a Polytrack win in the winter; 0-11 round here down the years and needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Lingfield a month ago.

Most effective when able to dominate as he again showed when making all at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; given no peace up front there last time and now 7lb higher than for the win, but dangerous if allowed his own way and does have winning form over C&D.

Form & Verdict
Has recorded all five of her wins over this C&D, the latest being this time last year when 7lb higher; inconsistent since the spring but a reproduction of her best efforts in that period would see her thereabouts; has two lesser efforts to put behind her.

Her first five wins came over C&D but she got back on the scoresheet over 1m2f at Newcastle two weeks ago; that was a narrow success but she battled well to justify support and is only 2lb higher on her return to this track; key player.
