Back in form since dropped to this level and proved 7f within range at Brighton last week, despite not looking in love with the course; her claims are obvious under Billy Loughnane (8-41 for the yard) as long as there's not too much rain.

9st 9lb

J: Jason Watson

T: Daniel & Claire Kubler

Disappointing since her early-season 2yo days; plummeted down the weights as a consequence and latest Bath second (5.7f, good), her first run at this level, was more encouraging; stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust though.

Form & Verdict
Progressive in her first three starts, getting off the mark in a Beverley maiden (5f, good to firm) in July; only third of four on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) last month and has something to prove on these terms over this trip on slow ground; hood enlisted.

Lacks recent match practice, remains on career-high mark and won't have her apparent ideal ground (good to firm) unless the weather lends her a big hand; not the percentage call.

Poor draw when fourth behind Clearpoint here in September; dominant display when seeing off seven rivals from the front here three weeks ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but she's on an upward curve.

Form & Verdict
Ran much better when fourth of nine on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) 12 days ago, but he faces a monumental task in this field.

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Heather Main

5f win here (good ground) last August and he added two AW victories to his tally in December; his last two runs have been disappointing, the latest back on turf after an absence, but the return of Saffie Osborne to the saddle could perk him up (two wins and a second from the three times she has ridden him).

Won two Class 6 handicaps on AW in December; not quite so good in either run this year and he returns to turf with a career-best required; Harry Vigors takes off a useful 7lb.

Doubled his tally when landing a C&D handicap in December and followed up at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) on his next start; respectable effort when stepped up to this grade there 32 days ago, but first-time the blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to bring out a bit more.
