Sprung a 25-1 surprise at Salisbury last May and she makes her seasonal reappearance off the same mark; subsequent efforts were more miss than hit, however, and she has a five-month absence to overcome.

Hard to fancy on recent evidence whereas she arrived in good form prior to winning this last year (good to firm); however, she's dropped to a dangerous mark and can't be written off in her bid to make it 2-2 here.

Six wins include two over C&D and she was runner-up here on heavy ground in September off a 5lb higher mark than today's; below her best in recent starts but probably wasn't helped by racing on the wing at Goodwood four days ago; chance.

All five wins have been on AW and latest was at Southwell (5f) in January; 0-12 on turf but he's on a lower mark in this sphere and is well handicapped on his close second over C&D (good) last summer; usually races prominently and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made bold bid after a short break.

Winless away from Chelmsford since September 2021's 5f success here, though came agonisingly close to putting that right in a Newcastle 0-55 handicap latest; replication of the form of June's C&D third (good to firm) won't quite suffice, and there's likely competition for the lead also.
