Progressive mare with three wins this season; respectable sixth in stronger company at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last time, 4.5l behind Game Colours; better off at the weights with that rival and a bold bid for a fourth win of the campaign can be expected if she handles these more testing conditions.

Bumper winner who came good at the fourth attempt in handicaps but pulled up in a Class 4 at Wincanton from out of the weights last time; she was progressing well prior to that and could easily resume progress if back on song.

Bumper winner; second to Sweet Caryline at Fontwell and went one better when getting up in the nick of time at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft); up 4lb and add another 1lb for being out of the weights; clearly a contender.

Form & Verdict
Maiden; has place possibilities on bits of form but needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort and this is a big drop back in trip; last three starts over 3m1f at Plumpton.

Course regular who patently failed to give her true running here last time when much shorter in the betting than runner-up Ephyra; did it easily from the front over C&D the time before when 7lb lower; solid chance if back on song.

Made all to notch her third C&D win (soft; from 7lb lower) three weeks ago; that was in a mares' contest but she was a comfortable winner and this track brings out the best in her; one of the likeliest candidates.

Went close at Windsor (11.5f) in May and she was winning her fifth race when landing a 1m4f Brighton classified (also good to firm) going away last Monday; 4lb penalty makes things trickier back in a handicap but she's not discounted.
