Admirable 6yo who has won eight of her 52 starts (including on soft); however, she goes up in grade this afternoon and would be a shock winner.

As good as ever as a 6yo judged on her near miss at Lingfield (7f, AW); latest Newmarket third probably not the run to judge her on and she can't be ruled out, for all stall 1 isn't ideal.

Inconsistent on AW this year but she was short-headed at Lingfield (7f) in February and denied a clear run when third at Southwell (6f) last time; has won here and she might not be far away if she's on a going day.

Largely consistent mare who was placed over 1m here last week and is now back on same mark as when scoring over today's trip at Wolverhampton in December; likely to be in the shake-up again.

Off the mark in Redcar novice event, taking her form figures over 7f to 2321; the return to 1m backfired at Southwell (belated handicap debut; behind Moonspirit) since; may have more to offer back down in distance and remains of interest.

Form & Verdict
Bang-in-form front-runner who won her last three races (1m-8.6f); carries 5lb penalty for Kempton success on Wednesday but Jordan Williams claims 5lb and has been runner-up on her; can cope with today's drop back in trip and commands respect in current mood.

Four wins at around 1m on the AW including one over C&D in January; having dropped to a mark just 1lb higher than when last successful, she ran well to finished third of nine at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) 13 days ago; can't be discounted.

3-21, those wins coming over 5f, 6f, and 7f; placed on return from a three-and-a-half month absence at Newmarket (1m, good to soft; 6-1) on penultimate start but less productive next time (7f); easing mark coupled with Alec Voikhansky's 3lb claim helpful.
