J: J F Egan

T: Dean Ivory

C&D winner who ended a lengthy losing run when scoring off a reduced mark here (7f) last month; up 4lb and was way below that over this trip at Chelmsford (Polytrack; 25-1) 12 days ago; bounce back required but that's not out of the question.

Placed for the first time in her 15-race career when 6l third to Belo Horizonte at Yamouth (1m) last week; enjoys a 12lb swing in the weights (excluding jockey claims) with that rival but it doesn't look enough.

41-race maiden but her best efforts on turf have been here; went off the boil in the spring but it was a respectable effort when sixth of 14 here (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; weakened gradually that day so the return to this trip might help a bit.
