Form & Verdict
In the frame in her last two starts over 1m6f on Tapeta, including when third of 12 in cheekpieces (now removed) here last month (winner has gone in again since); return this trip may be a positive, though, having won comfortably off this mark over C&D for Hugo Palmer in September; interesting.

Both wins were over 1m4f on Wolverhampton AW, the latest in January; close third of seven over C&D (good) on latest start, which was only her third run on turf; remote when out of her depth on heavy, her only run on softer than good; place chance (like most of these) if the ground is okay.

Form & Verdict
Made it 3-4 since joining Tony Carroll and 3-3 at Lingfield when winning there (1m5f) 12 days ago; 1lb well in under his penalty and no problem with the return to this trip, so the main question is whether he can reproduce that sort of form on his first visit here; major chance if he can.

All of his five wins have been on AW and latest was off this mark over C&D last March; finished fifth in both runs for new yard this winter but he didn't get much luck on the first occasion and was beaten less than 3l at Lingfield last time; could be dangerous if he can find something extra.

Form & Verdict
Not much to shout about in five starts for Julie Camacho, but having undergone wind surgery he showed more when beaten less than a length into second of nine on stable debut at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta) ten days ago; due to go up 1lb and a player if building on that performance.
