Form & Verdict
Took well to first-time cheekpieces in similar event at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) this month, opening her account at the 16th attempt; was able to dictate the pace and had better circumstances than third-placed Master Sully; however, may have more to offer in the retained headgear.

J: Taryn Langley

T: Stuart Kittow

Beaten a neck and a head in this race last year; has run some good races this season but her form dropped off at Salisbury last month and a visit to Brighton, a track she likes, could only produce a fourth of nine last time; handicapper's trying to help, though.

Form & Verdict
Holds leading claims on her best form for previous stable; record for current yard isn't solid but shaped better than bare result at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) ten days ago on classified debut, leaving the impression this return to 5f will suit; interesting in this weaker field.
