Won from the front at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft; front pair clear) in February and was third under much more patient ride at Ayr (2m, soft) last month; may not want the ground to dry out here but otherwise she's likely to be on the premises again.

Out of a Listed 1m Flat winner and ran well from the front when third of 14 on debut at Huntingdon (1m5f, good) last month; probably sets a fairly good form standard; obvious contender if he handles today's slower ground.
