Handy sort who has gained all six wins over 7f/1m on the AW; back off her last winning mark and probably needed her Kempton return 12 days ago after 405 days off, but she will need plenty to go right from the outside stall.

Has lacked consistency this term and finished only eighth here most recently; defied a 5lb higher mark over C&D last October (sole AW win) and has a good chance if back to that form.

Form & Verdict
Has bits of placed form in this grade and looks capable of going well off a handy mark, provided she's back in top form; however, yet to score at this level (all wins in Class 6).

Denied clear run before keeping on well for fifth (just behind Clear Angel) at Haydock (1m, good) last month and again ran well when third at Southwell (7f, AW) a fortnight ago; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least.

0-10 but she sets a fair standard on her best form including a close third in a Wolverhampton handicap (8.6f, AW) in March; had excuses in her final two runs in the spring and she's a key player if she can get back near her best after a break.

Nine-race maiden but she has shown promise for this yard, notably a second over the extended 1m here last summer and a third at Wolverhampton in March; reportedly finished lame when below her best at Newcastle four weeks ago; unproven on the ground but can win races.
