Form & Verdict
Plenty of defeats at short prices since her last win and she's become inconsistent; is well handicapped now for a yard in decent nick but a poor effort over hurdles last time will need a line striking through.

Early summer has always tended to be her time of year but she's regressed in recent times, is into the veteran stage and entitled to need this after seven months off; others hold more pressing claims.

Proved this trip is fine when winning on Tapeta last month (since backed it up in slightly better company); is fine on turf and should go well again but there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark.

2-24 on turf compared to 9-43 on the AW; completed an AW hat-trick when winning at Chelmsford (1m6f) in February off a 2lb lower mark, but he was too free over 2m at Lingfield (good) 23 days ago; dropping back in trip should suit.

Proven winner who can pull hard and did so the last time he went this far (over C&D two summers ago); things didn't pan out his way latest but there's little wiggle room off this mark back on turf after a short break.

Out of the frame in eight starts and tailed off in two outings on turf, both of them here including over 1m6f (good to firm) eight days ago; big drop back in trip and application of a tongue-tie will need to make a major difference; stable appears to hold a much better chance with Arlo's Sunshine.
