Below par last time but won't mind coming back down from 6f and has a fair chance of getting the rail in front, assuming they come over (stalls are down the middle); is one to consider.

5f winner here; she was involved in tight finishes at Bath (extended 5f; good to soft and heavy) last October and over 5f here in May but more often than not she tends to run out of steam over this trip.

On a losing run but closely matched with Lequinto on their tight encounter at Windsor last time (5f, good) when she might have won but for hanging left late on; she doesn't always do that and has to be feared.

Form & Verdict
Two wins and latest near-miss all came over 6f on the AW and she was turned over at a short price the last time she ran over this trip; can race too freely, so may be okay back at 5f, but stall 8 means she has daylight on her outer.

Not as consistent now but goes well here and she's capable of popping up if the switch from cheekpieces to first-time blinkers helps; pulled hard back up to this trip last time, following a spell sprinting, and will need to settle better.
