Soft-ground C&D winner just over a year ago and added to her tally at Doncaster (2m, good) last March; not firing on all cylinders this season, though, and needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces today.

Lightly raced 7yo who has made the frame on both appearances this season, in handicaps at Carlisle (2m1f, heavy) and Leicester (1m7f, good to soft); very closely matched with stablemate Toughasoldboots on the latter effort; probably won't be far away.
