Four wins over 7f after joining this yard early last year, three of them on the AW; has the form to figure, but below her best at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month and something to prove on only her second go over a trip this short.

4-20 on AW (wins include Polytrack) and she's been running with plenty of credit since December; little wiggle room in this mark but she's likely to give another good account.

Won over 6f here in February but also has wins over 7f; running well at present but is 2lb higher than when winning at Newbury (7f, good to firm) in August and she requires a career-best to win here.

Has a modest 1-16 strike-rate and she hasn't been at her best on AW on her two runs this year; however, she's now 4lb lower than when a commanding winner over C&D (good to firm) last August and she'll be a major player if rediscovering some form.

Both turf wins on Brighton's sharp track but she made up plenty of ground when a never-nearer third in this race (good) last year and it wouldn't surprise to see her return to form after a low-key Southwell run last time, having gone close there on her reappearance the time before.
