C&D winner who posted a solid third of 15 back over C&D in December; comes here on the back of a recent run on the Flat so can't be dismissed.

East End Girl

9st 6lb

J: Cam Hardie

T: Alastair Ralph

Good third of 15 over hurdles in December, on her second run after a long absence; now switches back to Flat but she's well treated on old form, including a 2m win on Tapeta at Newcastle; one to keep an eye on.

Form & Verdict
Didn't build upon a good seasonal/handicap debut when fifth at Beverley latest, albeit maybe the eight-day turnaround was too soon; worth a try at 2m, mark unchanged and yard still in fine form; cheekpieces on.

Stayed well on the Flat when with Ed Bethell, though plied his trade at an ordinary level; ended up tailed off on hurdling debut at Fakenham and he looks up against it.

Fair Flat handicapper for Ed Bethell, winning over 1m6f at Catterick in August when blinkered for the first time; no headgear and may eventually need further but an interesting newcomer.

Form & Verdict
Fairly well-backed 15-2 winner over 2m at Ripon latest (soft), readily cashing in on a career-low mark; back up 4lb and with a claimer replaced today, but this isn't a strong 0-75; untried beyond 1m2f on Tapeta.

Consistent rather than progressive since stepped up in trip for handicaps, not quite seeing out 1m6f last time despite setting just gentle fractions out in front; still untried in handicaps/beyond 7f on Tapeta.
