Three-time AW winner who got off the mark on turf at the 14th attempt, at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) on Monday; also effective on good to soft; she won that four-runner handicap in fine style and is entitled to respect under a 5lb penalty, but today's company is more demanding.

Triple AW winner who is 0-13 on turf but she's run respectably at Lingfield (5f, good to firm) and Nottingham (5f, good) in her last two runs; returns after another short break but she's generally reliable and shouldn't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Opened account with hard-fought Wolverhampton novice win (5f; first-time cheekpieces) in March, his tenth start, and made the frame in two subsequent handicaps (5f/5.2f); disappointing favourite when last in action and has since been gelded; won't be far away if back on song.

Six-time winner is 4-22 on turf; last two wins have come at the Curragh but has run well in defeat over this C&D on more than one occasion; shaped well at Bellewstown on penultimate but needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run latest; 2lb above highest winning mark.

Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark.
