Form & Verdict
Couldn't cope with a Class 3 event here at the Glorious meeting but she'd been running well at a lower level beforehand; can front-run but it isn't a requirement; likely to go well back down in grade.

C&D winner but she's on a long losing run and was beaten 9l on Goodwood reappearance (6f, good) 17 days ago; that was a Class 3 but she needs to leave that form a long way behind on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Progressive in handicaps last season, winning at Bath (easily) and Wolverhampton; not at her best in two runs this season but her yard is now finding top form after a quiet year and a wind operation since last time could help too; one to consider.

Running well enough without being quite at her best this summer; latest close second at Yarmouth was in a Class 6 and she's been nudged up 1lb; more minor money perhaps her best hope today.
