Record of 0-9 this season but she's much better off with Jannas Journey on C&D running four starts ago; successful off higher marks in this race for the last two years; very attractively weighted and warrants respect.

Won at Ffos Las (7.3f, good to soft) in June on second handicap start before 2l second at Yarmouth (7f, good), and she found a chunk of improvement for 5l win at Carlisle (7f, soft) in August; hit with 11lb rise for last time but did it in fine style; could still be ahead of the handicapper.

Mereside Diva

Second when favourite for this race in 2024, with mixed fortunes in her five subsequent C&D appearances but she was a creditable third last June; seen in regular action this year, including when second at Wetherby last month but not so good here eight days ago; her last two wins (2024 and this February) were in small fields, so others make more appeal today.

Two good runs at Southwell preceded her Newcastle success in February (7f; blinkered first time); she hasn't run badly at Lingfield twice since, for all she has finished down the field, and this test may prove more suitable; key player.

She won three in a row in May (good-soft) and returned to form when third at Beverley (7.4f, good) three weeks ago; she has a good record there but can also be effective elsewhere; first run here; not discounted.

Lightly raced 3yo who made it 2-3 for the year when beating 13 rivals to win at Newcastle (7f, AW) last month; also effective on good to soft and good to firm; that latest win can be upgraded as she had to wait for a clear run, and a 4lb rise could prove to be lenient; firmly in calculations.

Promise on AW but she looked an improved model switched to turf at Wetherby 19 days ago, picking up well from the back of the field to win a 7f fillies' handicap (good) in decisive fashion; 4lb higher but could still have her best days ahead of her.

Form & Verdict
Won at Lingfield (1m1f, soft) in July and at Sandown (7f, soft) last month; followed up at Epsom (7f, heavy) a fortnight ago; likely to be on better ground today but she has shown promise on ground as quick as good to firm, and this progressive 3yo is entitled to respect.
