Form & Verdict
Front-runner with a course win (6f) to her name; 1lb lower than when coping best with conditions at Leicester last September (5f, soft); lots of other pace in here and she'll need to be at her best on this return from 159 days off.

She was returning from a five-month break when finishing in midfield at Doncaster 13 days ago (5f, good to soft), a race where she tired in the final furlong but still did best of the far-side group; two wins and two seconds from her six C&D runs and she has solid claims off a fair mark.

Form & Verdict
Her form took off when dropped to 6f last summer, winning five AW handicaps in a row; although she was beaten in her final three starts last year, she didn't look handicapped out of things; should be quick enough for 5f but taking on match-fit rivals after 173 days off.

Form & Verdict
Just one win to her name (6f, AW) but she has some solid form in defeat and this mark looks within range judged on her second at Wolverhampton in April; finished in midfield on her turf debut at Ascot last month (6f, good to firm) but she was rather isolated in the middle of the track and it was probably a better effort than the finishing position suggests; has the speed to be effective at 5f and the new headgear could prompt improvement; interesting.
