Dual turf winner (6f/7f) as a 2yo who gained reward for some consistent efforts in defeat when winning at Wolverhampton (7f, Tapeta) 16 days ago, getting the better of a couple of last-time-out winners; just 2lb higher and very much respected.

Form & Verdict
Her last four wins have all come at this track, most recently over this trip three weeks ago on her first run for six months; the field finished in a heap on that occasion but she was full value for the win, picking up well despite having to be switched to the outside in the straight; 1lb rise not insurmountable; solid candidate.

Easy win in a 7f handicap last month but that race rather fell apart and the handicapper took no chances with a 6lb hike; unable to threaten back here 17 days ago; effective over C&D but others appeal more.

Back to winning ways when readily accounting for seven rivals over C&D 12 days ago; the short-priced favourite fluffed the start there and the race may not have taken much winning; a 6lb rise asks a stiffer question of her.

Form & Verdict
7f Polytrack winner for Darryll Holland last summer; overcame a very slow start to win over the extended 1m here on last week's stable debut; speed rather than stamina the key to that win and she shouldn't be hindered by returning to 7f; will need to be more alert at the stalls though.

Habitual slow-starter; came from well back to win a 1m handicap at Kempton last month but a similarly patient ride didn't pay dividends last time; looks up against it from 5lb out of the weights.

Belatedly added to her 2021 nursery win with narrow success at Southwell (6f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; this race is much more competitive, though, and she needs to prove she can cope with the drop back to 5f.
