Form & Verdict
Two runs in Ireland for Sheila Lavery last year; 7-2, back from 221 days off when shaping with promise at Lingfield last month (1m), trying to mix it with the favourite before those exertions told; interesting now tackling a handicap.

Both wins have come over C&D, handicaps at the beginning of this year; worryingly below par in both her runs following a break and this is a tough race in which to bounce back.

Unplaced in all six starts on turf, albeit she earned her best RPR when sixth of ten in the Group 2 Duke Of Cambridge at Royal Ascot in June; in good form on the Kempton Polytrack earlier in the year including when second of nine in a 1m Listed contest; each-way claims if reinvigorated by the return to the AW.

Form & Verdict
Won sole 2yo start then quite highly tried to begin with last year; back from second wind surgery when going down narrowly at Lingfield last month (1m); 2lb rise is offset by Frederick Larson's 3lb claim; a player.

0-12 since her winning 2yo debut and comes here after very disappointing 1m2f AW run last month; may benefit from today's drop back in trip but all her best form is on Polytrack and others have much less to prove.

Beaten 11 times since winning her sole start as a 2yo at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack), but placed in three consecutive starts over 1m on Polytrack earlier in year; blinkers make a return, but she is yet to prove she wants this far.

J: Stefano Cherchi

Sole win on 2yo debut; looked as though her turn was coming round again in early AW starts this year but she found little over 1m at Kempton two starts ago and never featured back at 7f since; now trying a new tack returned to 1m2f (highly tried in one previous try); reservations.

5 yo Filly

Form & Verdict
Only defeat in last four runs (all here) came at the hands of a rival who has won four times since; is a whopping 12lb higher than last time but it'd be folly to rule her out; yet to win over 1m but stays the trip.

All races over shorter, getting off the mark over an extended 1m3f on soft at Lingfield in July; lesser effort upped to 1m6f next time and never a threat back on Lingfield AW (1m5f) 11 days ago; stamina unknown for 2m.

T: Marco Botti

This year she has been racing freely and carrying head high; hooded and upped to 9.4f when well backed at Wolverhampton five weeks ago in her second handicap, delivered late on and running on well for a clearcut win; 5lb higher today but has stamina in the pedigree and probably more to give.
