J: Ross Coakley

T: Lisa Williamson

Reappeared with a close second at Musselburgh in April and she built on that when forging clear over C&D (good) last month; up 6lb but she has form figures of 3211 at this track and was as good as ever last time; big player.

Her front-running C&D win last May came off just 1lb lower; ended 2025 quietly but she returned to form after six months off, keeping on well for second at Musselburgh (5f, good) 32 days ago; takes on some less-exposed 3yos but likely to go well.

Form & Verdict
2-2 on AW and 0-8 on turf, but has proved consistent of late and again ran well when second of nine at Newmarket (5f, good) last time; off the same mark, but hasn't shone in either start on ground softer than good so any further rain may not be welcome.

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.

AW winner (6f) late last year who appeared to appreciate the drop in trip when doubling his tally at Windsor (5f, soft) 12 days ago; 5lb higher, but remains unexposed at the trip and won't mind any further easing of the ground.

Did it well when off the mark at the eighth attempt here (5.7f, firm) in May, but was put up 8lb and could only manage fifth of ten at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month; only 1lb lower so needs to find more; has run well on good to soft, unraced on soft.
