Most wins have come in the second half of the year, mainly on turf, and there's nothing to suggest she's best caught first time out; others have more pressing claims.

Capable at this level and four of her turf wins have come at this track; laboured effort in a stronger race here when last seen in July but there are positives today, including the prospect of rain and the booking of a talented 3lb claimer; not discounted.

He hasn't won since his debut but having dropped a long way in the weights he's been more competitive of late; never dangerous at Pontefract last week (behind Smooch) but Graham Lee replaces a 7lb claimer and he holds each-way claims.

Yet to win for current stable but made the frame on her last three starts, most recently when fourth of 18 at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month; also has form on ground slower than good; cheekpieces haven't done much for her previously but she's a contender if today's drop back in trip suits.

3-47 career; reeled in late over C&D (good to soft) last September, and arrives off the back of a respectable effort at Catterick (5f, soft; runner-up, with a couple of these behind); there are reasons to be optimistic, so he could feasibly have a say.
