Form & Verdict
All three of her wins have come over 5f on Tapeta and she has turned in a string of solid efforts in defeat this winter, most recently a close second at Newcastle last week; not at her best in earlier runs at this track but dangerous if a her best.

Running well and this surface suits but it may be significant she's nearly always kept to the other Tapeta tracks now and wasn't at her best over C&D in October; probably needs a bit more than latest Newcastle defeat.

Four-time course winner, including on this surface last summer (6f); unplaced in three runs this winter but looks to retain ability and dropping back to 5f and having his first run in a 0-50 classified event will help matters; more appealing than most.

Three-time AW winner, including here on Fibresand, and her Wolverhampton run last month is good enough to think she could contend at this level; two runs since have come over 6f and this trip probably more suitable; first-time cheekpieces could spark something.

Three of his six wins have come over C&D (in the Fibresand days) but his losing run stretches back to October 2020; several good runs in defeat last year and a recent return from a break should have sharpened him up; could go well but minor money is perhaps his best hope.
