0-7, but in the frame in five of her last six starts and she twice went close at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in December (form worked out well) and February; returns from a short break, but her wide draw is off-putting.

Not the most prolific having won just one of his last 26 starts, but two runs over C&D last year resulted in a win and a second, both from a mark 7lb higher than today; ran well despite a wide trip when fourth of ten over 1m2f here last time; interesting.
