Better since handicapping on Polytrack, latterly when pestered in front down to 5f here a month ago (fourth); that effort has been boosted by those ahead and she's considered.

Yard has gone the best part of a year without a winner and this gelding has started big prices in three runs to date; this is more realistic now handicapping but it's hard to find a reason to back him.

The switch from a hood to a visor saw improvement on her handicap debut recently, when picked off by two who had sat off the pace (including Sweet Idea); is in off the same mark and goes on the shortlist.

Seven-race maiden who was a creditable third at Southwell (5f, AW) on her final run for Charlie Fellowes last January; failed to beat a rival there on recent comeback but she ran well to a point at a big price and should benefit from that run; not ruled out back up in trip.
