Both of her wins have been over 5f at Lingfield (AW), the most recent coming in February off 2lb lower, and she ran well when third of seven there over 6f last month; respectable effort at Musselburgh (5f, soft) 25 days ago and has place claims back on quicker ground.

0-7 on turf but none of them were in handicaps and she's proved consistent on AW since, winning two 5f Lingfield races at the start of the year; needs a bit more for the return to turf, especially if the ground eases, but sharp tracks clearly suit and her fitness is a plus; yard also runs Wheels Of Fire.

There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60.

Prominent racer; close second at Newcastle (6f) last month but he failed to back it up at Southwell three weeks ago; all his best efforts have come on a straight course so perhaps can be given the benefit of the doubt for last time; one of two runners for the stable; not discounted.
