Looked on the up when making all in 6f Chelmsford maiden but she raced too freely when only sixth of seven on her handicap debut at Kempton (6f) later in January; she's well worth another chance off a handy-looking mark after her break.

J: Neil Callan

The least exposed contender; made all for comfortable win at Wolverhampton (6f) last month, taking record to 2-5 and beating a couple of subsequent scorers; could well improve further and defy a 5lb rise, provided she takes to Lingfield (first run here).

Lightly-raced 4yo who wasn't disgraced on her handicap debut/final run for Sir Michael Stoute when fifth of nine at Lingfield (1m) in July; has since changed hands for 2,500gns and she's much respected for her new yard, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Both turf wins on Brighton's sharp track but she made up plenty of ground when a never-nearer third in this race (good) last year and it wouldn't surprise to see her return to form after a low-key Southwell run last time, having gone close there on her reappearance the time before.
