Has won five on the Flat at up to 1m6f; off the mark for this Flat season when winning at Salisbury by 4.5l 13 days ago; up 6lb but a contender.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Joe Tickle

Has won twice over hurdles this year and only went down by a head on his return to Flat action last week at Bath (1m6f, good); effective over this shorter trip and looks a good bet to give his running, which can't be said for all of these.

Competitive in all three runs this season and he's better off at the weights with Taritino than when beaten 2.5l by that rival at Chepstow in the first of them (1m4f); then went close here over 2m before getting outpaced back at 1m4f; returning to further can help.

Form & Verdict
Has done all of her winning on turf in France for previous connections; modest form since moving back to Britain last November for current yard over hurdles and on Flat; 100-1, sixth of seven at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on latest start on Flat; first-time visor goes on but she's best watched.

Fully effective on AW, recording her peak RPR on Tapeta, so surprising the return to turf was put forward as the reason for her easy win at Brighton in May (1m4f, good); mixed bag since, often slowly away, and there are risks involved.

Form & Verdict
Made all to get off the mark at the ninth attempt at Wolverhampton AW (1m6f) last month; unable to get to the lead immediately at Chelmsford AW (13.5f) last time and then raced freely before being eased off, a run that is best forgotten; makes turf debut and this distance now looks to be her bare minimum.
