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.

A neck winner at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) and although only sixth at Windsor behind Distant Rumble, that trip of 6f stretches her.

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.

His six AW wins (two on Tapeta) for Robert Cowell came off lower marks, but was only beaten a nose off this rating over C&D in the spring; patchy on turf lately but didn't enjoy Catterick last time and will be happier back on the AW.

Front-runner who enjoyed a good spring, latterly off this mark back on turf; whether she'll be able to dominate over this easier 5f, with other pace nearby, is the question, and she'll need a career best to win.
