Not a bad comeback from stall 12 at Kempton in July but she's landed the outside stall again and needs to bounce back from a poor show on turf five weeks ago.

Both wins were in September including over C&D; mixed form since her last success but was a clear second at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) last time and has claims if she can back that up off an unchanged mark.

Both wins over 6f on the AW last September; had dropped 1lb below her last winning mark when a close fourth of 11 at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta; first-time cheepieces) 11 days ago, but her stamina for this far remains unproven.

Made it 22nd-time lucky when seeing off Esque Elegance in a C&D classified contest (11-2) nine days ago; factoring in tonight's riding arrangements he's 3lb worse off with the reopposing runner-up, so whether he can confirm superiority is debatable.

Took an age to get off the mark, finally opening his account at the 31st attempt in a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield (AW) in January; four runs since, twice finishing second before recording another Lingfield success six weeks ago; still unexposed at this trip and he is effective on turf.

Left low-key reappearance run behind when scoring at Redcar (5f, good to firm) nine days ago and is now 2-7 for Ron Barr; carries 5lb penalty here but is due to go up by that amount anyway and the slightly longer trip should be in her favour; likely contender.
