Won on the Flat in April (1m3f, AW; RPR 77) and quickly put a disappointing hurdle/turf debut behind her when respectable fourth at Worcester (2m, good) this month but needs to progress again here.

In fine form lately, winning here (1m6f) last month and bolting up by 5l at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) a week ago; drop in trip not completely ideal, but she is 4lb well in under her penalty so should still take all the beating.

Dual C&D winner; has slipped to 6lb below his last winning mark (1m4f, Lingfield) and wasn't beaten far when having the run of the race under Rose Dawes at Wolverhampton (1m4f; third of seven, 7-2) last week; foolish to discount.

Three of his six wins have come here (1m3f/1m4f) and was running consistently well up until January, but quiet in his last three starts; just 1lb above his last winning mark, but he needs a resurgence with cheekpieces reapplied.
