Form & Verdict
Quickly bounced back from a poor run at Newcastle last week when running out the easy winner of a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton five days ago; penalty to shoulder but she's effective here and Ethan Jones (twice successful on her) takes off a valuable 7lb; should go well.

Came from off the pace to win a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in fine style in December; beaten twice since but she hasn't run badly; fully exposed but a strong pace would enhance her claims.

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Gemma Tutty

Dual turf winner (1m/1m2f) for Johnny Murtagh in Ireland; runner-up to stablemate Enola Grey at Southwell in March but she's had only two runs since and has finished last of five in both of them; mark is sliding but she's hard to predict and others are more convincing.

Form & Verdict
Did well switched to AW handicaps last winter, winning twice over 1m at Kempton; added a fillies' handicap at Nottingham to her tally last summer and also ran well at Ascot last July; soft ground a valid excuse for her low-key effort at Sandown when last seen; no great surprise were she to progress again this year but her record after a break tempers enthusiasm slightly.

Four wins for James Fanshawe, including at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in October, but she made a low-key start for this yard at Kempton ten days ago; that was after a short break but her three AW wins have all been in Class 6 events and she could be vulnerable again at this new trip.

Losing run now up to 15 and she has slid down the weights during an inconsistent season; capable still at this level but she's odds-on to pull hard and has had issues at the stalls of late, so isn't without risk.
