Form & Verdict
Useful pedigree; 17-2 for her debut at Goodwood in May (6f, good to soft) where she was beaten 4l into sixth of the ten runners; should do better in time but a 201-day absence is off-putting; betting usually a good guide with runners from this yard.

Easy winner of a 6f AW novice in December; well beaten in a Pontefract Listed event in August on her seasonal debut (wore a hood) but she fared better when second in a Class 3 fillies' handicap at Yarmouth last month (6f, good to soft); another significant step forward required to trouble the principals today.

A regular on the AW here (three wins) who's much higher in the weights than when last seen frequently on turf; generally consistent but whether he's up to this mark on grass is the leading question, and Quamby looks his trainer's best chance.

Four-time winner over 1m/1m2f here and just 1lb higher than when beating a dual subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in January, but he has the outside stall and will require some luck given his come-from-behind style.
