Two turf wins over 6f this summer and also ran well over C&D on her penultimate start (against males); too keen tried in cheekpieces at Kempton two weeks ago; well drawn back against her own sex and she can't be discounted.

Can race freely and isn't the only potential pace influence here, but confidence in her restored by last month's Kempton rout (6f); hiked beyond any winning mark again, but goes on anything and this dual Ffos Las scorer won't fail for the return to a galloping track.

Six-time turf winner who has a good record at Bath and is only 2lb higher than for her win here (5f, heavy) last autumn; returns after 165 days off but she went close on her reappearance last season and that was on good to firm at Chepstow (6f); in the mix.

Conditions to suit and the switch to a visor has prompted a revival the last twice, third over C&D before a good second at Chelmsford 12 days ago; led last time but she's by no means a one-dimensional front-runner; claims off the same mark.

Seemingly no longer relishes the fast surfaces of 2023's peak win and placed form, judged on June's last of ten at Wetherby (5.5f), and balance of this year's form limits her appeal anyway; cheekpieces return.
