Form & Verdict
Three wins this year, the latest off 3lb lower last month (5f, soft); latest Ascot run, where she finished behind Fantasy Master, was a shade disappointing and she could prove vulnerable under top weight.

Likeable filly who notched her fourth win of a busy campaign when storming home at Nottingham (5f, heavy) ten days ago; she's tough, genuine and impossible to rule out, but this is a warmer event and she's up 5lb.

Three of her five wins have come over C&D (good to soft and soft), the latest last month off 4lb lower; she's a better filly now than when second to Badri in this race last year off an 8lb lower mark and although latest start was a tame effort, she should be more potent back at this venue.

5f on testing ground suits well, as when landing a 5f handicap at Bath in April off just 1lb lower; that hasn't proven to be a springboard to better things but he's capable of a big run.

He was winning for the third time this year when comfortably on top in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton 19 days ago; up 5lb and the ground could be a potential stumbling block (handles good to soft but more to prove on slower).

Latest run at Nottingham is easy to forgive (unsuitable ground) and he had recorded a career-best RPR when winning at Wolverhampton (5f) on his penultimate start; no issue with 6f but 5f is possibly his optimum.
