0-2 on turf but she's 6-6 on the AW and has won three in a row this winter, including a Listed race at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last time; found more progress with that comfortable success and she's a big player again on this drop back in trip.

Four wins for the Johnstons, including C&D, and she ran well over 1m here on her final start for that yard in November; down the field in two runs for Philip Makin this winter; sold for 12,000gns last month; latest new yard quick to try headgear.

The winner of four races when trained by the Johnstons, two here over 7f; close second at Lingfield last month (1m) after which she changed hands for 16,000gns; stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust but it's a move that looks well worth exploring.

Form & Verdict
Three wins as a 3yo and looked set for another productive season when making a successful return at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in April, but modest efforts since including on AW debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month; just 1lb above her last winning mark, but needs to turn things around.

Form & Verdict
Justified short odds in a C&D novice a year ago, but held in handicaps afterwards and first-time cheekpieces (retained) made little difference last time; continues to edge down the weights, but returns from 175 days off so she may be better for the run.

Form & Verdict
Front-runner who has won five times on turf/AW this year, the latest at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) in August; has no great record fresh, so her modest effort after 98 days off back at Lingfield three weeks ago not hard to forgive; has won here (8.6f) and could be dangerous if left alone in front.

Productive 2022 campaign included five wins (7f-8.5f, turf/AW); close second in fillies' handicap at Southwell (1m; tongue-tie applied) on New Year's Day; leading player off same mark (likely to go up in weights once reassessed).

Form & Verdict
Easily landed a C&D novice on her second start as a 2yo, but has mainly been campaigned over further since including when winning at Ripon (1m, good) in August; fair effort when third of five at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) on Wednesday, but the outside stall may scupper her chances here.
