Failed to win last year but she retains some ability and her mark has dropped; unplaced in three AW runs but she ran okay over C&D in November and the two defeats afterwards were over 7f; returning from a break perhaps not the time to catch her.

Outran 40-1 odds when just missing out over C&D on debut in November; that wasn't much of a race but her subsequent efforts confirm she has some ability and she could progress further now handicapping against her own sex.

Tough, front-running mare who backed up her 5f win here in January with a close second over C&D four weeks ago; that form has a solid look with the first three pulling well clear (winner completing a four-timer and the third has won since); 2lb higher but set to go well once again.

14-66 and somewhat of a Hamilton Park specialist; creditable third to Vince L'Amour (Betweenthesticks second) over C&D on penultimate start but, that aside, she hasn't been overly competitive; easing mark (8lb below her last winning one) offers some hope.

Dead-heated at Chelmsford in December and she followed that with a short-head success at Wolverhampton one month later; back in form when third at Chelmsford last time; should remain competitive.
