Better than ever for her new yard this spring, showing there's more to life than just Yarmouth; a tactical affair in a small field wouldn't have been ideal last time (AW) and this mark should be within range when things fall better.

Won at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft) last October for Rae Guest; built on her encouraging stable/seasonal debut at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) when winning at Haydock (1m2f, good) 19 days ago, tongue tied both times; four lesser runs on AW at the start of her career are likely irrelevant and she should be a threat off 2lb higher than last time.

Two wins and a second to his name in five starts here having beaten Pride Of Nepal over 1m1f in first-time blinkers (switched from the usual visor) last Friday; no penalty and will be 4lb higher from tomorrow, so holds obvious claims for his in-form yard.

Has won four middle-distance handicaps and latest was off 9lb higher at Chester (1m4f, good) last June; 0-13 since but he bounced back with a close call over 1m2f here last Friday and is a big player if he can repeat that form (due to be 2lb higher in future).
